Dinner was so good we came back for brunch the next morning. We shared 3 of the "Smaller Plates":…read moresalmon ceviche (5/5): great balance and flavor; rabbit terrine (4/5): pork sausage, couldn't really taste the rabbit. Mild summer peppers (5/5) were hand-picked from the farmer's market, and I was warned that a hot one might have slipped by (I said: I sure hope so!) and one did. Was grateful for the bread from the rabbit terrine, which is their house-baked sourdough. Full bar but not many beers, mostly lagers. One IPA which was a hazy from Ann Arbor and was great though. For brunch the next day we split the Chicken Katsu Hash (5/5) and added 2 more eggs. If we weren't traveling I'd have bought a pint of the house-made serrano-based hot sauce. Great service both times we went, and we were offered free coffee to go in all-compostable containers.

First, we love good 80's music in the background and the volume was just right. Not too loud were you can't talk or relax, just enough to set them mood. The decor was also a pleasant surprise and the sun shade umbrellas in the outside seating were a tasteful touch. Tom was our waiter and he was quick, sharp and personal. We could tell Tom was really on our side as a guest and not just selling the specials if you know what I mean. He didn't steer us wrong. Lobster Roll! I have found very, very few good lobster rolls in the state of Michigan and you can count on this one to deliver. Fresh, tasty and a big enough portion that my wife and I split it for a light lunch. Fries were also first class. This is a must stop in a very restaurant populated area.

Our server made great suggestions. She was very nice and attentive. I will definitely stop in the next time I'm in town.

What a gem the Belvedere Inn is. I would highly recommend a stay here. Shaun was a delightful…read moreinnkeeper who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. He served delicious cocktails and a cheese plate on the back patio to us as well as giving us recommendations in the area. The inn is an early 1900s mansion that has been converted into a hotel. There is a restaurant on property (Shaun is the chef) though we did not dine there for dinner. We stayed in the Canterbury Suite on the 2nd floor. It had a queen bed, fireplace and large soaker tub with double shower heads. The inn is only 10 minutes from Saugatuck and about 15 minutes to Holland. It is a quiet and quaint place to stay in a beautiful area of Michigan.

Staying at the Belvedere Inn for anniversary weekend, we kept our dinner in house at their…read morerestaurant and were thrilled. Personable service and a charming atmosphere added to the amazing food. The menu is prix fixe with your choice of 2-4 courses, but each course after the first two is just $5 more so we went all in. My wife got the scallops and said that it was the best meal she's had in years. My filet mignon with a Demi glacé was perfect. In both cases our different potato dishes added to our enjoyment. I got the faux gras for my first course (not a typo - faux as they use chicken livers) which had tremendous flavor. For dessert, we couldn't pick between the profiteroles and the warm tart tatin so we split them. Both were great but the tatin is an upside down French apple pie which was fantastic - served warm with vanilla gelato it was unexpectedly thin and crunchy with the crust. I can't recommend this meal highly enough. It would get six stars if possible.

The pistachio syrup was legit - there were actual pistachio chunks and no fake pistachio extract flavor. i definitely would have preferred my drink sweeter though. i was also impressed by the drink to ice ratio. so many iced drinks are mostly ice but this matcha was FULL and not overly diluted with milk. i really enjoyed the flavor of the matcha itself as well. my partner said he'd give his latte a 9.1 out of 10. unfortunately there do not seem to be any vegan food options so it will be drinks only for us.

We even ate before we went so we wouldn't get hangry, but even from the wait of being seated to the time the kitchen finally makes your plate of food, my children were almost in tears because their tummies hurt. My daughter literally only ordered yogurt and fruit. She was the LAST one served. Please train servers to get children's food out quick (for everyone's sanity). When asked how our meal was, I finally did mention that this will be our last time patronizing this establishment. Clearly they are too busy to craft a joyful and memorable experience. It's better if we find a new spot. My previous review still stands. Go if you want a good breakfast, but be prepared to wait awhile and pay a premium for it.

This place is an awesome, eclectic, and personable spot with incredible food as well as service…read more The BIzzy Grizzys or whatever they called them were one of my favorite appetizers ever, and I don't typically like things like that. At first I was hesitant because of the price, and it being biscuits, but they made me eat those words and more. It was like a large biscuit muffin top with jalapeño, cheese and honey glaze (I think) and it came with a white cheddar cheese sauce to dip it in that was outrageously delicious. For a guy who hates cheddar biscuits, I've got to say I'm blown away. My wife ordered the steak with fingerling potatoes and carrots. It was on the pricier side, but yet again well worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the veggies were pretty good too. They had live music playing as well tonight. It was a jazzy kind of vibe and it didn't over power anyone talking or anything. The guy had some serious skill too. To top it off, we had some pretty killer service from everyone there. From the hostess taking our names, random servers walking around, and our fantastic server (I forget her name but she was blonde and worked upstairs and had a a really great attitude. The expo or food runner dropping our food off anticipated us possibly needing an extra plate and brought one without asking which was super awesome and ended up coming in handy ( I knew my wife wouldn't finish that steak alone) and she brought it without asking and was ready with a smile to get more. I used to be a GM (I hate when people use this saying but...) truly I know how hard it is to find good workers and the folks running it here seem to have it down. I come from a place where you have to drive 100 mi or more for average service. So seeing exceptional service is really almost too good to be true. I'd definitely stop in for a bite. It's worth every penny. We'll be back for dessert, they have seasonal crème brûlées!

I dined at TOG today for a business lunch and, unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing…read more At the end of our meal, I asked for a to-go box because I had barely touched my food. My guest and I spent most of our lunch talking, and I left with nearly an entire meal. About 20 minutes after leaving, I realized I had forgotten my box and immediately called the restaurant to see if it was still there. The young lady who answered the phone asked where I had been seated. I explained that I was at the very first table at the front of the restaurant. Within seconds, she told me there was nothing there. Her tone made it clear that assisting me was not a priority. Given that the hostess stand is located at the back of the restaurant and I was seated at the front, I do not believe there was enough time for her to actually check before dismissing my concern. After I sent an email regarding the situation, the hostess responded that she had walked through the restaurant looking for the box. Based on the timing of our phone conversation, I find that difficult to believe. In her response, she also stated that she checked with the servers after our call had ended, which suggests that no real effort was made while I was on the phone. What is most disappointing is that I am a regular customer. Today, I paid $56.00 for lunch for myself and my business guest. Between a server who was largely absent throughout the meal and the dismissive interaction when I called about my forgotten food, the level of service fell far below what I have come to expect. Everyone has an occasional bad day, but customer service is often defined by how issues are handled after something goes wrong. In this case, I felt dismissed rather than helped. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I do not plan to return.
