We went about midday during off hours and were advised that there was only one server on shift and there might be a wait. However, Lauren absolutely KILLED it and the service was great! On to the food... it was OUTSTANDING. The dishes my girlfriend and I had were unique and tasty. I had the blackened whitefish with the corn chipotle sauce and the flavors blended wonderfully. The seasoning was great, and it was cooked to perfection. You could also tell it was very fresh. Definitely check this place out!!

I gave a five-star rating only because a six-star wasn't an option. While touring the western side…read moreof Michigan, we stopped in at the Blue Fish Kitchen & Bar for a late lunch. It was a mid-week day and there was hardly a soul in the place so I was a bit concerned. Completely unnecessary! The pulled pork sandwich was great and the gyro was also great. Served with some of the best chips I have ever had, the food was delivered hot and quickly from our server, Marie. The upscale atmosphere was perfect for a memorable lunch. Our table overlooked the river and on a sunny day, it was perfect. Marie did not lead us astray with the dessert menu - cheesecake made in-house with raspberry topping. Absolutely delicious!

When you walk in you are greeted by plants and beautiful paintings. The space is welcoming and calm. I ordered the grilled cheese with cheddar cheese on country white bread with a side of tomato soup and it was delicious. I really liked the quality of the bread! The person who was with me ordered the turkey sandwich with aioli and it was a very generous size! I tried the sandwich and it was very tasteful and made with quality meat and veggies. The restaurant also had a grab and go cooler of a few pre-made sandwiches. This is a great idea for people who are on a time schedule. The restaurant also has a small bakery case full of cookies and other various pastries. The only thing that I would prefer is that I could've refilled my cup of water. It was a super busy Friday afternoon when we visited and I felt bad asking a worker to refill my water while they were taking orders. (You order/pay at the counter, someone brings it out to you, you take care of your tray/trash when finished, there is no waitress service which is totally fine!) Two Slices is a great restaurant for lunch! I highly recommend this establishment.

There is a big difference between the outdoor decor and the indoor decor. The outside was a bit…read morebland, and the inside was alright I liked the lighting actually. I really liked on how we could see the river from our seats. We got the chips and salsa with the guac and the salsa. The salsa was perfect a bit spicy but the guacamole had lots of tomatoes and I thought it would be more avocado but that's totally all right. The chips were nice and airy and crunchy, but they weren't free. We had to pay for them. The workers were sort of nice. When I saw the shrimp tacos, I thought maybe they would be breaded but I was wrong and I did not like the tacos because they were grilled and I really like it when they're breaded and fried which is all right. But it also came with some rice and it was very good. The servers were a bit slow, not gonna lie but there's always room for improvement. I wish you would've came in and checked up how we were doing maybe ask for we want some refills maybe. The bathrooms were pretty mad, but it doesn't really matter. It took awfully long to get her check and it wasn't very packed in so still kind of slow. Overall, I think it was above average, but still need some improvements.

Food was very good with a good selection. At our table everything from meatballs with marinara to Caesar's salad to Cubano sandwich. Prime rib soup was good and hearty. And our server was spot on, between helpful, welcoming, and checking in on us just enough. 12 beers on tap (sorry, I wasn't paying attention to a wine list or anything like that) with a good selection of beers, including a number of local brew. Nice place for a late Sunday afternoon lunch in the summer, will be back in the colder months as well. Definitely a place worth checking out.

Cozy little place, menu pretty typical of quality bar and grill operations. That included a…read moresouthwest-style chicken salad, which is a favorite of mine, and TJ's is a bit unique. It had the standard toppings--avocado, corn, black bean, tomato, tortilla chips. But the cheese was melted on top, like a kind of crunchy/chewey plate--it really looked like it was topped with a mini pizza. Not sure that enhanced the salad, but overall it was fine. Instead of dressing, it came with tubs of sour cream and salsa to mix in. I do that at home sometimes, so can't complain. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. Decent beer selection, including a quite a few bottled ones, which I hadn't noticed until after I ordered my pint of Two Hearted. Be sure to ask for a bottle menu. I sat at the bar and the server regularly looked in on me. Wasn't too noisy, in spite of the tight space that was full when I stopped in on a Sunday night. Nice little spot to check out in Manistee.

The hotel needs to redo their whole concept; even the bar is limited and not very good. This is a great hotel and you'll have an absolutely wonderful time here but sail clear of the Windward!
