This place is excellent. We came on a recommendation from a local restaurant worker while in vacation in TC. The best food we had on the trip, no question. They have rotating soups and we tried the Tomato as well as a red lentil soup. Also would definitely recommend the Brussels with a sweet heat Asian inspired flavor. I cleaned the plate completely!

This place offers very well prepared takes on a diversity of signature dishes that you will find at various fine dining Americana restaurants around the country. It has a New Orleans vibe and offers mellow jazz in the background. The energy of the patrons is high level as all appear to be enjoying the atmosphere, the quality food, the well made craft cocktails, and the enjoyable selection of locally brewed beers that they have on tap. The service is very friendly and interact with you frequently to ensure that you are enjoying your experience. The food is not only very tasty but the presentation is beautiful. The only disappointment is that the portions served were a bit modest to sate the ravenous appetite that the taste and presentation initially create. For our visit this time we thoroughly enjoyed the lamb ragout and the shrimp & grits

This is a really fun restaurant with peppy, but not too loud music, and bright artwork adorning the walls. The staff were beyond friendly and absolutely made us feel welcome. The food - OMG, the food! Everything was amazing! The pita chips were the best we’ve ever had! The tomato spinach soup lived up to the hype it has in the other reviews. The key lime shrimp pasta was surprisingly light and delicious. We need the night with the Chocolate Oblivion and it was decadent! Just a fantastic night! Please make this restaurant a priority visit when you are in Traverse City, you will not be disappointed!
