It gets packed with mostly locals despite that it's in a hotel. 3.50 wells, $4.50 Tito's and soda. Drink specials on everything and appetizers/munchies too. The menu is vast from jalapeño poppers and potatoes skins to lobster risotto and escargot. Steaks, seafood, and the best baked wings ever. Get them blackened. They are almost the size of drumsticks so expect a to go bag or share them. It's a hidden gem but IYKYK!

They seem to have a loyal happy hour crowd, which starts pretty early, maybe 3pm to 5 or 6. ALSO, you can come as you are. If you are still dressed for business, or the opera, that's fine. People come in from the beach and throw on a wrap, not a big deal. After golf. It all works. You can also charge to your room, if you're staying there. Put it on the rotation.

Great view of Traverse City. We went after dark but I bet sunset is gorgeous. Very intimate space…read more Take the lobby elevator to the left of the front desk (and behind you a little) to the floor marked T. Bartender was efficient and friendly. It was seat yourself so at times mad scrambles for tables. Wasn't impressed with the creativity of the cocktail menu - kinda traditional. Prices $13-$16. Hubby got bourbon on the rocks and they charged extra for the ice. Don't know if they had snacks as no food menu was shared. The singular floor staff person was not very good; saw them on their phone or talking to the bartender more than checking on the tables. We had to go to the bar to order our drinks and get our check. Will come back though due to the great venue and live music.

We initially booked Mission Table for our October 2025 wedding and ultimately decided to change our plans due to unforeseen life circumstances. From the beginning, communication was challenging. I had to follow up multiple times on basic planning questions -- like scheduling our ceremony rehearsal -- and often received delayed, vague, or conflicting responses. At one point, we were contacted to provide guest meal choices a full year before the event, which added to our growing concerns about how organized and prepared the team was. Barb, the event director, was difficult to communicate with and came across as unhelpful and inflexible. Madi, who was introduced as our main contact, seemed unaware of key details and unprepared to support us in the way most couples reasonably expect when booking a high-end wedding venue. When we ultimately let them know we'd need to cancel the event (six months in advance), their response was brief and dismissive -- no empathy, no effort to work with us, and no goodwill gesture despite our proactive and respectful communication. Looking back on the entirety of our experience with their team, we honestly feel like we dodged a bullet by not holding our wedding there. The venue is beautiful, and that's what initially drew us in -- but unfortunately, the lack of professionalism, warmth, and basic coordination behind the scenes was not something we felt we could trust with such an important day.

Ambiance. Overlooking the golf course and the bay, the view at sunset was majestic. Combined with how elegant the interior setting was, total A+. 3. Drinks. Good cocktails and a fantastic Gin and Tonic ( not pictured here-it was so good I just bypassed the pics asap lol). 4. Caesar Salad: very crisp and fresh romaine with fantastic anchovies and these cheese crisps that were so very tasty. 5. Duck. Perfect taste, texture, with a tomato jus and a purée of parsnip underneath that was fantastic. 6. Sweet potato beignets. Oh...my...God! This is an appetizer but could/should be a dessert. So sweet and served with bacon jam. Amazing! 7. Pear and salted caramel layer cake. Wow! My wife and I highly enjoyed this. It's a pear compote with a spiced cake in the middle. Well worth it and definitely a place we will come back to when we are back in Traverse City. Very highly recommended.

Food quality was so disappointing. The only great thing about Aerie was the view…read more My $75 "8oz" filet was definitely 6oz. It was so tiny it came overcooked... twice. I sent it back the first time, the waitress never offered anything while I waited for my second steak... so my whole family was able to finish their meal before I got mine. No extra bread.. no soup... no salad... just hungry. Had to eat all my sides without my steak. Honestly I should've asked for the quality of the steak. Definitely was something under Prime cut. $12 kids butter parm noodle... came in a tiny soup bowl. Barely enough Parmesan to even see. So tasteless. Are you serious? At least salt the water. This was probably the worst of it. I got bamboozdled on a pasta dish I could've easily made at home for $1. Sides- The shiitake mushrooms were an absolute disgrace. They were literally so tasteless and dry! Roasted with no herbs, seasoning or allium. Potato Pavé was good. We ordered 2. It's definitely not a "shareable" size side. Come for the cocktails and view. Not for the food.

I did get the white bean chicken chili for my meal and that actually was very good.

Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week
