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.

Then a wonderful Mexican type salad with ample: sautéed onions and peppers, corn, black olives, cheddar cheese and a spicy chipotle ranch dressing. I added grilled chicken breast and it was very tasty and filling. My sister enjoyed a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich and she said it was also fantastic. An ample size chicken breast breaded and sauced well, lettuce, tomato plus a firm but soft bun that held up nicely. She had tots as a side which made for a great meal. Our server was very pleasant, personable and attentive at just the right times. The ambience was a rich wood decor: floor, walls, booths, tables and chairs. But a warm atmosphere with black accents, comfortable seating. There were stairs to enter with railings but I might have missed a more mobility accessible entrance. I recommend calling if this is a detail you need. They're great for groups as the place was packed on Mother's Day when we first attempted to eat there. So glad we went back and I'm sure this will be a sure spot to eat when we're in town again.

I immediately ordered the corn beef hash that came with 2 sunny side up eggs and sourdough toast. It was all delicious. I also ordered a flight of beers that were all solid. While they didn't have a hazy IPA (my favorite style) they did have a good selection. The Nightfall Imperial Stout was my favorite followed by the Manistee IPA (American IPA). The Hefeweizen and Lumber Baron Wheat beer were both solid. The place itself is very nice and the bartender was really friendly. The place wasn't very busy with only 2-3 other tables full when we left. They also make their own spirits for purchase.

After Labor Day they have a "limited " menu. It's pricey and the food is barely edible(actually we couldn't finish any of the food we ordered so I'm being charitable here). There are a number of really interesting and very good restaurants a few minutes away along the river. Give the Windward a hard pass. 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!
