arugula salad
Myka P.

Went here for dinner with my partner and it did not disappoint! We had the 4 course pre-fixe with faux gras chicken pate, arugula salad, chateaubriand, and profiteroles. Food was fantastic and genuinely felt we got more than we paid for! Love this restaurant and this is a must-try when visiting Saugatuck

We did not stay at the inn, we only had dinner here. And dinner was top notch! I can't say enough how wonderful every detail was. My mom and I went to explore the gardens in the back of the Inn, and they were breathtaking. While we were walking in the gardens, Jeffrey came to take our drink orders before dinner. He met us with our cocktails and enjoyed great conversation with a couple who were dining at the same seating. Then once 6pm came, we were invited inside and seated. The arugula salad with cherries and a mustard dressing was delicious. My mom had the caesar salad which she wasn't impressed with sadly. However, she felt that the scallop entree (which we both had) more than made up for the not so great salad she had. The freshly baked bread had a delicious crusty outside and perfect soft texture inside. For dessert I had the lemon cheesecake with the almond cookie crust. It was perfect, not overly sweet, just wonderfully palette satisfying. The cappuccino with the Irish cream flavoring and froth on top was a perfect ending. An adventure all around with the inn, grounds and restaurant. Don't miss out on this treasure.

On Tuesday, 6-1-21, I had dinner in the Belvedere Inn restaurant. Initially, I was going to dine solo. I decided to invite a friend who lives nearby to join me. She wasn't able to join me at the precise sitting time (6:00 pm) and was able to join me around 7:10 pm. I spoke with Shaun, the chef, about my friend joining late. He was friendly, flexible, and negotiable. I had the beet, pear and gorgonzola carpaccio appetizer and several vodka tonics while waiting for my friend. Initially, an appetizer/first course wasn't calling out to me. Our server, John, recommended the beet/pear carpaccio appetizer, which was an amazing blend of subtle and sharp flavors. When my friend arrived, we shared a split of prosecco and each had the butternut squash and crabmeat bisque. The bisque was light, buttery and tasty and not rich/creamy like other bisques I've had. Very good. My friend and I decided to share the chateaubriand, a tenderloin of beef served with béarnaise sauce (a favorite of mine), scallop potatoes and vegetable. The beef was the perfect temperature and was delicious, especially when complimented with the béarnaise sauce. The scallop potatoes were slightly rich in a good way and baked to perfection being crunchy on the top and moist underneath. After dinner, my friend had a glass of port wine and I had an Irish coffee with whipped cream with the two desserts (profiteroles and warm apple tart) we shared. All very good and complementary. My friend's comments were "The food was excellent; the service was excellent; and the ambiance was excellent. Very well done." We highly recommend the Belvedere Inn restaurant. It is a dining experience to remember.

Every time we walk out of dinner at the Belvedere we talk about how special of an experience it was! From the amazing food to the care the staff puts behind their work, everything is top notch.

This is a lovely building with fine decor and an impressive wine list. I ordered the mussels in crème sauce, the beet carpaccio, and the ravioli, and shared the apple tart. The sauce on the mussels was fantastic, but the mussels were overcooked. The carpaccio was light and lovely. The ravioli were filled with a flavorful filling, but the pasta was overcooked. The servers were very attentive and pleasant. In all this is a nice place for a special night out, but the potential for awesome was hampered somewhat by cooking technique.

My wife and I came here for a weekend getaway. We had a great time! Our room was amazing and the staff were very friendly. The inn and grounds are really elegant and beautiful. The owner, Sean, found out I was a chef and let me tour the kitchen and chatted with me for a while about the business. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful place to dine. I never knew this place existed and so happy someone recommended it to me. I went to eat not to stay. They do two seatings for dinner 6 & 8 and do multi course dining two to five courses (your choice) at a set price. We arrived early to have drinks on the veranda which I would suggest as their grounds are magnificent. Then your assigned server comes to get you for your appointed dining time. The service and food were both outstanding! The inn keeper is also the chef and he is phenomenal at his craft. Defiantly make a reservation on weekends and don't miss out on this fine dining experience. Nothing else in the area compares.

This is a review of the restaurant only. My boyfriend took me for dinner for my birthday on July 24, 2011. The building, the grounds and the atmosphere are absolutely lovely. My man ordered a 4-course meal, and I ordered a 3-course. It was delicious. The flavors were amazing. Your meal is quality over quantity at The Belvedere, which I would choose any day of the week. The appetizers, sides and desserts are out of this world. The ambiance is intimate, quiet and elegant. My only complaint is that my filet mignon was a bit dry. And for the sticker price at The Belvedere, the steak shouldn't be dry. ALWAYS call well in advance for reservations, as there are only about eight tables. Make the effort to get a bit more dressed up when you go to The Belvedere, and know that it is very pricey: Our tab-- including 2 glasses of wine-- was $120 without tip, $142 with. If the weather is conducive, stroll the grounds. And leave children under the age of 13 at home.

La Belle Amie Inn and Guest House

La Belle Amie Inn and Guest House

Last October, my wife and I took a spur of the moment drive from our Chicago area home to the…read moreSaugatuck area and were looking for a B & B for our weekend and came across La Belle Amie. This being our first experience with staying at a B & B, we had some preconceptions of the type of amenities to expect. I was expecting a small dark room in an old building, maybe even sharing a hall bathroom with other guests. At La Belle Amie, I couldn't have been more wrong. We were greeted by Katie and her staff at the door and taken for a quick tour of the facilities. Two large "houses" each contained 6 bedrooms each with their own bath, eating area and fireplace. We were in the building closest to the road. The first floor had a large vaulted ceiling lounge area with a nice fireplace (there seemed to be fireplaces everywhere!) and flat screen TV. A large kitchen and adjacent dining room are also located on that floor. Our room was on the second floor - the Hemingway Room - complete with a 4 poster bed and a vintage typewriter as part of the decor. Everything was nicely decorated and immaculately clean. When we checked in we made our breakfast selection from the day's menu, both of us selecting the veggie omelet. Come morning, we were greeted with room service for our breakfast and it was worth the wait and delicious. When we came back from our trek around Saugatuck, we found a plate of freshly-baked cookies in the hall outside of our room, complete with some liquid refreshments. That night we went out on the grounds to stargaze a bit. My wife had just purchased a star map app for her iPad that she wanted to try out. With the country location, the city lights don't interfere with the view and we had no trouble locating various constellations with her new toy. All in all a nice weekend away. We were there at the end of October, but I would like to go back to see what Saugatuck is like in the peek season during the summer. From our experience, I would rate La Belle Amie with 5 stars.

We had a very relaxing stay. The interior is brand new and presents a modern urban décor. From…read moretalking to the innkeeper ALL the furnishings are brand new! Nothing old and stuffy about this place. Our room was nicely decorated, spacious , laid out well, comfortable, and clean. The room had a flat screen TV. The bed was very comfortable. Gracious, lovely, customer focused innkeeper and her daughter who managed to be attentive yet unobtrusive. She was very helpful in providing suggestions for local places based on what we were looking to do. She even hand copied the recipe for her chocolate chip cookies (upon her offering) based on how much my husband liked them. There were plenty of complimentary snacks. There were additional touches everywhere, including fresh mint in the water, and apple slices arranged in a fan shape with cinnamon. They offered a gluten free breakfast option - wow. As one with special dietary needs, it is more than I can get at some restaurants. The location is easy to find. Staying in the country was quite, and peaceful. We actually now prefer it to staying in downtown Saugatuck. There is a hiking trail on the property which makes for a nice morning stroll. (It was cold the morning we were there so we did not end up taking advantage of it.) This is our new 'go to' bed and breakfast in Saugatuck. We look forward to our next weekend away.

From the moment we entered, we received the kindest of hospitality. Scott, the innkeeper, provided us with so much wonderful information on things to do, where to eat and was kind in addressing any of our needs. We had a "romance" package which included wine, $50 credit to a restaurant and chocolate. The room was cozy with a faux fire place and a room overlooking some trees and down to the water. As for the breakfast (ALSO INCLUDED), it was amazing. Scott outdid himself with the quality of breakfast and service. I cannot recommend this place enough. We will be going back. T

The best. THE BEST!…read more Love Beechwood Manor! Stayed here a few weeks ago for my birthday weekend when I found a special online for 2 nights plus one one hour free in-room massage, gift certificate to a restaurant in downtown Saugatuck, and of course the two complimentary brekkies (being that it's a B&B, of course) for $388. Such a steal! The house itself is lovely. Built in the 1870s and renovated a bit but still keeping that Victorian charm. A comfy downstairs sitting area, and cozy dining room and another kitchenette area with a fridge (stocked with complimentary sodas and water), water pot for tea, hot chocolate, etc, and coffee. Oh yay! We stayed in Enid, the largest of the rooms. Very spacious with a sitting area of two chairs and a table, a couple of nightstands, a chest of drawers, a queen sized bed (very comfy and cozy), a fireplace, a small cable tv and dvd player, and cd/radio. It was actually really nice to unplug a bit so we didn't really watch any tv but it was there if you need it. Instead we mostly just lounged around listening to classical music on the radio and Prairie Home Companion. Fit the feel of the room nicely! The adjoining bathroom is a good size too with a lovely and deep clawfoot bathtub (that I definitely took a soak in. AHHH so nice!) and a separate shower. Complimentary bathrobes added to the cozy feeling and the windows had a lovely view for just perching and looking outside. Add that to the most amazing massage ever (seriously, one of the best I've ever had and I'm hard to please) and I walked out of there feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The hosts/owners, Sal and Gregg are just lovely. Really friendly and chatty, I felt like an honored guest. And they are no slouches in the kitchen, either! Our breakfasts were DELICIOUS. The first day I had the eggs benedict (although the smell of the waffles sure were intoxicating!) and the next morning I had the sweet potato pancakes which I had to force myself to stop eating because they were so tasty but oh so filling! The grounds are lovely and I can't wait to come back in warmer weather for a sit on the porch looking at the trees and Kalamazoo river peaking through (while their super friendly kitty Oscar rubs against your ankles--but don't worry cat allergy folks, kitty does not come into the guest quarters. We only saw him chillin' outside). If you've never been to a B&B I highly recommend starting with Beechwood Manor. Although it's likely any others you visit may not live up!

The Cottonwood Inn is nestled in a wooded setting, within about 10 minutes of downtown Holland…read more The common areas are clean, cozy and inviting. The same can be said for the room; we had the John Calvin room. Liz, the owner, is excellent at making you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. She provides recommendations for the area and her recommendation for "Crazy Horse" for dinner did not disappoint! It is a quiet setting, and a great place to get away. The only caveat is if you are on the first floor and there are people above you in a room, you will likely hear every time they walk. The floors, adding to the character, creak easily. Breakfast, was very good. We had a southwest frittata, fruit and a pumpkin donut (October). Coffee is ready before 8am. I love that it is Christian themed and the rooms are named for Christian Theologians. If you're looking for a quaint, special getaway, give Cottonwood Inn a go! Liz will take good care of you!

Although this was a little farther from downtown than we're used to from previous years, having a B&B be slightly out of town wasn't exactly a bad thing since we're truly removed from all the busyness of the downtown area. Liz was such a lovely lady who can cook a mean breakfast. My husband isn't the biggest fan of a quiche, but he even he ate the whole giant slice. Although our room wasn't the biggest, it was still very cozy and quaint, especially with the blue and white decor. Although the bathroom wasn't en suite, it was about 10 steps away and we didn't have to share. I loved having the natural lighting from the skylight in the bathroom. There was a reading area, a sun room, and other parts of the house we didn't even check out because we were so busy enjoying the town. Because of the location, you can't beat the price. I do hope to get to stay there again someday.
