My husband and I have been here a few times together and every time has been a very nice experience. For one of the only nicer restaurants around the area, it hits the spot. Food is quality, drinks are good (and strong), and ambiance is great. We could spend hours here just talking and laughing together. Thank you for a great experience! read more

876 Baldwin. I got the Baldwin burger it was delightful although the wait was quite a while it was very well worth it just a bit small. We were the only ones in the restaurant, I'm not sure what went so wrong. Something they could've done better was improve their menu there was very little you could've ordered. The bathrooms were very nice stocked with toilet paper and other appliances, there were some weird pictures of women in their bathing suits in the water. Back to the Baldwin burger it was about the size of a kids menu item not very filling and an outrageous price about $19. I wish they would've included the amount of calories, protein, sugar, etc. The waiter we got (did not get her name, she had dark hair) was very good, she had a very gentle voice, and she met our needs immediately, definitely deserves a raise. Great job!!! read more

Updated review. The service has gone downhill considerably since they opened. I really hope they tighten things up. Food is excellent but poor service is unacceptable at their price point. read more

Food was really good. Portions good size. Wine was good and pours were generous. Two negatives. First, service was friendly, but really poor. We had to continually ask for almost everything and wait for long periods. However, they seemed to be short-staffed, so maybe that was the issue. Also, I did not like having a 3.25% credit card fee built into my bill even before I paid. Several reviews online indicated that there is an automatic 20% gratutity added. That was not true. Apparently, it is only added for parties of 7 or more. Very good place. I will bring cash next time. read more

I'm sure their food was good, but prices are too high for the location. Last time I drove by, I think they were no longer in business.

Excellent Food & Service!!! My son and I stopped in after a long day of salmon fishing and were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the food & the attentiveness of the staff. Just a great dining experience. read more

Great food in this small town! We eat there frequently and have always had a great experience.

I would have taken a picture but I devoured the entire dish. I order the ropa vieja, and wasn't sure if the dish was going to meet the typical expectations of the others I've had. I was pleasantly surprised at the presentation and their version. Fabulously prepared! I have seen it where people try to put "spins" on a traditional dish, but 876 has made something special. Everything that they made was outstanding, from the clams to their take on the ropas viejas! The ambiance is Michigan made elegant. The art on the wall was very beautiful. Such a great place tucked away in a small town. Whether you're passing through or staying in town, this is a great place to eat and unwind. read more

Took a chance and it was worth it. Pasta, yes! Homemade flavors, well seasoned meatballs, and a sauce that is a sauce. Great service made for a good experience and worth a trip back. Keep it up folks!! Only suggestion I would give is a light roast on your garlic in the aioli. Otherwise I'd recommend the pizza, the pasta, and a really nice little house salad to accompany your meal. read more

A masterful chef delivers a culinary delight in Baldwin. Where is Baldwin you might ask? Well it's west of Lake Michigan and east of Detroit. Got it? Why might you be here? No idea. But this chef has it going on. Super cute place. We all enjoyed our food--tagliatelle--all pasta made fresh, flat iron steak, halibut all solid. Cocktails great. Wine tasty. It's Bald for the Win. Oh, and save room for dessert next door at John's ice cream place. All home made. Yum. Side note. You go through Trumptown to get there. Super interesting farm that has all big signs with all kinds of love for 45. Well, at least the ones that others haven't vandalized...... read more

Started with the delicious butternut squash soup and Michigan salad. Steak dinner very good also came with generous portion of green beans and potatoes. Tres leches dessert was yummy. Friendly staff! Worth the drive! read more

876 Baldwin - Nice atmosphere - New American Near Me - Baldwin, Michigan

I wish there were more stars to give because 876 Baldwin is so fantastic. The food, atmosphere, and service create a dining experience that I cannot wait to repeat. Chef Forgie and his team really took care of me when I stopped in with my father for an early dinner. My recommendations include: There's always time for a cocktail. So take a look at this spot's cocktail menu. I went with their rendition of an old fashioned and savored every drop. Perfectly balance and beautifully displayed in a decorative rocks glass. Cheers! Go for the greens. The salads here are fresh, colorful, and should not be missed. My favorite was the Michigan salad that represents its namesake admirably. Pizzas all around! I would recommend a pizza for the table to share as an appetizer because it is sure to be a crowd pleaser. I can vouch for the seasonal option, the fall harvest, but you can't go wrong with the other options either. You deserve dessert. May I suggest the Pot de Creme? This dish is classic, elegant, and I would say the little black dress of desserts (a must have). I enjoyed the European influences and Michigan flare that make 876 unique and oh so charming. See you there! 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend read more

Just all around great . Good service good food great decor. Yeah it's expensive for Baldwin. If you want a cheap meal go to Barski's and get their awful service. This is a classy place all around. We're so happy it's here! read more

My husband and I were finally able to drive up to 876 for his birthday. We came in shortly after opening and ordered an Old Fashioned and a Green Cottage/Ginger Rogers--both delicious. For appetizer, we shared the baked brie with berries--also delicious and not too much. I ordered a Margherita pizza and my husband ordered the NY Strip, which he said was phenomenal. Very tender. Salad was great (pear with greens). Dessert good, too. I forgot to mention--heated toilet seat in the ladies room.....that's a luxe touch. :) read more

876 Baldwin - the dining area of the restaurant - New American Near Me - Baldwin, Michigan

First time here. Upscale compared to the typical "northern Michigan" fare. Fantastic atmosphere and service.

We were excited to try this place. Having looked at the menu, we knew that it was pricy, but were hoping for an upscale experience. Although there were some interesting pictures and a large sculptural mural, We found it a disappointment. We were seated at a Formica table close to the doorway which was drafty. The price for two with two drinks each was over $90. Our waitress was very pleasant but she delivered one entree that was not as ordered and one of our drinks sat for almost 10 minutes before it was delivered and everyone had almost already finished eating. As more guests arrived, it became quite noisy with bare tables and an old hard floor. The food was good but not exceptional. Just too expensive for the atmosphere! read more

Food was tasty. Service was and ambiance were great. One of the few casual upscale restaurants in the area.

The ambiance and decor was great. I enjoyed the wall art and live edge table in the center of the restaurant. The food looked great and tasted good but was more expensive than it should have been. Our group waited over an hour in a 1/2 full restaurant for dinner to arrive and then after the wait one of the burgers was bloody raw and had to be recooked. It could have been 'just a bad night' but the poor service and then automatic 20% tip that was added to the bill are key factors in whether I would eat here again. read more

Great menu and bar, upscale ambiance. Nice addition to Baldwin businesses. Enjoy getting pizza and salad to go too!

What a great addition to Baldwin. Our large group of fishermen/women were thrilled to have found this place. The food was incredible and the overall vibe of the inside is just cool. You can tell a lot of time and attention went into all of the details from the food to the decor. We will definitely make this a must-stop place when in Baldwin. read more

This was our first time here & it is a GEM! Fabulous food, great customer service & we even got to have a nice chat with the chef about his creations. We will be back every time we are in town! read more

Delightful atmosphere, attentive service, deep bourbon cabinet, and the food..no one in our group had any complaints. Sophisticated but not stuffy. Prices were reasonable. Very pleasant dinner after a day in there woods. read more

Awesome ambiance and unexpected find! Service was prompt and friendly. Our food was delicious. Got the nachos which were quickly gobbled up by the family and margherita pizza was best we have had in awhile. We definitely will be back! read more

great service, awesome food, the sliders are fantastic. cool to see a restaurant like this in Baldwin. it's a gem.

We have a cabin near Baldwin and are always pleased to see a new restaurant open in the area. We enjoyed our first outing to 876 Baldwin this week for dinner. The food was delicious, the atmosphere really inviting, and the service wonderful. Our only concern is that it seems a bit pricey for the area and even for the value. For example, our starter of 9 stalks of asparagus with a poached egg and some shaved parmesan was $18. It feels like that was more of a $9-$10 appetizer to us. Considering the area, we worry that the overall value for the prices may not be sustainable but we hope so. Overall, it's a nice new addition. read more

Glen the chef de cuisine has done a phenomenal job with the menu. Everything taste terrific. We as locals thank Paul and Dina for creating an outstanding restaurant. It's an easy place to stop between Traverse City and Grand Rapids. Taste the very tasty food and this will be your frequent stop. read more

Wow! First time visit recently and we were impressed! Atmosphere, people, and food were amazing; we had mussels, pizza, steak, and paella. Loved everything about this experience! Highly recommended! read more

Wow. Great addition to the area. Amazing service, very cool atmosphere. A ton of options.

it was a birthday celebration. The server was great and talked us in to desert to go. Everything was great until we ordered a 2nd drink and management came over to ask who was driving as I just had foot surgery so management felt they needed to intervene. I declined the drink and we left and the food for the price was not that good. Will never be back and will just get a burger at the local pub. Wow what a way to end an up north experience. Everyone said don't go here and we should not have ended our trip here. read more

This one is a hidden gem!! We are on the road trip, passed by Baldwin, and did not expect anything we could grab other than chips and hotdogs. The restaurant is so nice and clean, modern. The best of all, the food is top notch, very comfortable and healthy food. We are from San Francisco, this restaurant could be on top of yelp even in there. Very nice presentation of food, dinning environment, and reasonable price!!! Strongly recommended!!! read more

876 Baldwin - Indoors. - New American Near Me - Baldwin, Michigan

Excellent food. I had the chicken. My husband had the nachos. We will be back. Spoke with the chef. We appreciate personable service.

We ate here on Saturday night before Valentine's Day. They had a special menu for the occasion. Our experience was high class! The food was absolutely delicious! The chef/manager made sure our food was exactly right, even made to my Crohn's diet needs. The portions were perfect! The service was impeccable. Everyone was friendly and professional. It really felt like we were in a fancy, big city restaurant, but without any stuffiness. I would highly recommend this place! read more

One of the best kept secrets. This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time.. The food was excellent, the staff equally so. I highly recommend. This is a diamond in the food coal mine of Baldwin. My wife had the parchment wrapped Walleye while I had the New York Strip. Both were generously portioned. The steak was on the same level as a Ruth's Chris or a Morton's Steakhouse. The walleye was perfectly seasoned and delicate. For dessert I had the owner's family recipe Tiramisu. The over used OMG doesn't do it justice. Light as a cloud on a summers day. My wife had the seasonal crumble. It was soooo very berry delicious....and served with a creamy (was it from the Jones Creamery down the street) large scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. There is no doubt my wife and I will be returning many many times. What a welcome surprise . read more

So disappointed in last nights meal and service was not good either. We had stopped by 876 last fall and had a wonderful meal and service was great. We couldn't wait to go again, this time we invited two other couples and was so looking forward to another wonderful meal and good conversation. But it started out with bad service and never got better. The food was so disappointing the duck was over cooked, walleye unseasoned, salads were soggy, and pizza was really bad. Never a fan of writing bad reviews but believe owners should know they have issues and hopefully they can fix them. read more

What a gem of a restaurant! We have a lake cottage in the area, and have been thrilled to support this restaurant in town. Great vibe, excellent cocktails, superb food. Everything we've ordered has been fabulous -- but I've got to admit . . . the walleye is my favorite! Great bar. Friendly wait staff. Really enjoy stopping in! (Tip: Make a reservation! This place is popular!) read more

On this visit I tried the Harvest Pizza. While it was good (amazing crust), the toppings were minimal and did not seem to justify the price. Our waitress was not knowledgeable about liquor/beer options. Again, the highlight of our meal was the seafood fish and the amazing pots de crème! read more

Visited the new restaurant 876 yesterday. The menu looks great, drink menu the same. I don't mind spending $14 for a cocktail, but the bartender did not fill the glass. The waitress should not be front of the house, she did not inform us that a 20% gratuity would be auto added for our party size. While I usually tip 18-20%, there is no way she would have received that amount for her service. Will not be back and will not recommend. Too bad, was looking forward to it. read more

We are foodies vacationing from Scottsdale Az. Saw this restaurant in Baldwin near the infamous Pere Marquette river. It was one of the best dining experiences we've had this summer. Ordered the Walleye served in parchment paper and it was exceptional. My wife had the chicken and said it was the best she's had in years. Wine list was very nice and chef can select appropriate pairings. Do not miss the key lime pie...a nod to the owners love of the keys. A great stop on your way up north! read more
