"We had an amazing experience here. The food was prepared with exceptional care and we loved the attention to detail. Dillon took fantastic care of us and explained the menu so well. We look forward to coming back! 💛"

"Adorable tiny restaurant with tons of staff to serve you. We were greeted with champagne as I had reserved for our anniversary. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Every course was very good. The steak and the dessert were our favorites but the beet salad was a surprisingly high ranked course. The wine pairings were also nice, some of the pours were a little small but it was a tasting so that may be the reason. I would recommend and hope to return. Book far in advance as reservations are limited."

"We are foodie folks and I made a reservation here as soon as I knew we were planning a trip to Traverse City. There just happened to be one at 9pm on the Thursday we would be there. In the meantime, while watching the James Beard Awards, I noticed they were nominated within the same category as one of chef's from our hometown Cincinnati! The place is actually a house, and we were seated right next to the kitchen. Our server, Dillon, was great. We were happy that we both didn't have to order the tasting menu, so I had it, and my wife ordered a la carte (this is the first place we have been to that you can actually order whatever way you would like, nice!) The wine list isn't huge, but it is nice that the glasses are all the same price. As other reviewers said, there is a lot of staff for the 25 seats in the place. We were offered a pickled Amuse Bouche and a mushroom tea that we could have had every day. It was SO good. Here is what we ordered and what we thought; Starter - Smoke whitefish salad- very good and the fish was delicate and fresh. Loved. Gemelli pasta- they were absolutely fine substituting other cheese for the goat cheese, which we don't care for. We had one with blue cheese and one with parmesan. Both were great and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Whitefish with Tom Yum Vinaigrette - first time having whitefish and it was excellent. Flavors on point. Would order again and again. 5 course tasting - Cucumber Buttermilk Soup - light and earthy tasting, and very pretty! Gemelli pasta - see above New York Steak - didn't appear to be a strip. It was chewy and a little gamey. I had to pull gristle out of my mouth a lot. However, the chimichurri sauce was fantastic and the potatoes were buttery deliciousness. Grilled Turnips - unique flavors. I was getting full so I didn't eat all of it. Lemon Posset - perfect ending. Creamy and lovely. We had the pleasure to talk to chef Calvin because we were right next to the kitchen. He specifically talked to us about what cheese we would prefer on the gemelli, and then when I asked where he likes to eat in town, he suggested a few places. He checked in on us regularly throughout our meal, which really made the experience intimate and personal. He also made some browned butter for our excellent bread because we didn't care for the goat butter...nice touch. They are deserving of the kudos and award nominations they receive."

"A truly unforgettable dining experience. The intimate setting local ingredients and meticulous attention to detail make every dish exceptional. The 7 course tasting with wine pairing is highly recommended. Service is excellent and accommodating but reservations are essential."

"It was one of the best mid-west dining experiences I've had. Patio seating, a wonderful wait staff, and "Little Extras" I wasn't anticipating. This is a wonderful place that I hope to have the opportunity to come back to again and again."
