    A family favorite! Excellent food and drinks. Wonderful location with a view of Lake Charlevoix.

    A friend had recommended this spot a while back and I'm glad I saved it. We were near by visiting the Skybridge and decide to get some dinner. I am so glad we came here. Our server Todd was really great! He answered all our questions and was attentive. It was a Saturday evening when we came in and they have live music. We did have about a 1/2 hour wait, as expected, but it was SO worth it! All of our food was phenomenal! We also ordered two drinks from their long list of non alcoholic options, both of which were very good! I would totally come back if we were in the area again.

    Charcuterie Board - nice mix of a medium cheddar, tasty blue and wine soaked goat with meats (the slab on right is ham).

    Was excited to go to a nice place and enjoy some good food w friends. The place has a great vibe if you don't look down. There was just food and garbage under literally every table. Not what I would have expected here. We had the French onion soup and charcuterie board and a bottle of Rose. Everything was absolutely delicious. But seriously - sweep your floors. Our server was nice, attentive. Hit the spot but for the price - sweep your floors.

    Ask the Community - Cafe Santé

    Do they take reservations?

    I'm sorry, but they do not take reservations. During summer weekend evenings, it is best to plan activities where you stop in and get your name on the evening's table list and then Stroll the Streets or find the perfect park bench to enjoy the sun… 

    Do they have any items on menu that would be good for those diners with a gluten sensitivity? Will be in the area next week and looking for dining options that would suit and be good for my wife and her gluten sensitivity.

    Yes, they do. I asked & they just responded they DO have gluten free foods 👍🏼

    So great! Service was prompt and professional. Menu changes daily and is exquisite. I enjoyed the…read moreseafood tasting appetizer which was amazing, fresh lettuce cups, perfect bitter crunch, fresh shrimp. I did catch a few shrimp shells but otherwise perfect. I did add a bit of lime juice and salt for flavor. The bread was delicious! I met a new friend at the bar and she and I enjoyed splitting the Wagyu beef 8 ounce with risotto. This was delicious and perfectly prepared rare with a chat. The risotto gravy was a bit rich for me. I would have loved a steak sauce but enjoyed adding lemon butter. Wonderful all around night before my asylum tour.

    My husband and I came here to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. This was our first date night…read morein over a year after having our baby, so we were really looking forward to a special evening. The restaurant itself had a beautiful, rustic and romantic atmosphere, and the hostess was lovely about accommodating our request for a quieter table. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill once our waitress began taking our order. She initially gave us great wine recommendations and was pleasant while explaining the specials. However, when I decided to order the white pizza instead of the trout because I wanted something lighter, her attitude completely changed. She became noticeably aggressive and dismissive, which made us feel as though we were being judged for choosing a less expensive item from the menu. The service continued to be disappointing. I had to ask for the complimentary bread, and I waited nearly 30 minutes for the second half of my wine. When we asked about it, we were abruptly told that the bar was busy. Her tone throughout the rest of the meal was extremely inconsistent, including literally yelling across the table, "How's the food?" It was so unexpected that my husband and I almost had to laugh. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't make up for the experience. The appetizers were decent, but our mains--the ravioli and white pizza--were very average and lacked flavor. We've been to many fine-dining and Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and we understand that service can occasionally have an off night. What was disappointing here was feeling judged based on what we chose to order. Customers should feel comfortable ordering anything from a restaurant's own menu without being treated differently because of the price. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere and a lot of potential, but given our overall experience, we unfortunately won't be returning or recommending it to family and friends.

    My girlfriend and I recently returned from a vacation to the area, we spent a day in Traverse City…read more I wasn't impressed with the Workshop in the slightest. Although the wildfire smoke likely kept some people away, we came around mid afternoon in what should be the beginning of prime time hours and the place was empty. Not a good sign. I found it a bit odd that we had to order at the bar, considering only 2 other groups were there. There were like 4 employees just chatting away at the bar as well. At this point I know what I like in craft beers and I usually never have an unpleasant experience trying them, but we liked nothing we ordered on the beer flight! We had put in an order for the BBQ flatbread as an appetizer as well, and the chicken was super dry. I can't blame the sauce for being to spicy since I'm sure it's a popular local brand. That one's on us. We decided to have an actual dinner closer to our cabin.
