    Peachy Keen
    Jes P.

    If you can sit outside in the evening. The twinkle lights are just magical! We loved the Peachy Keen drink! We surprisingly really liked the asparagus salad appetizer. The chickpea fries were okay, I dipped them in the sauce that came with the fried green tomatoes. Kathy our server was so kind and sweet!

    Dinner on the patio on a warm August evening.

    Martha's is an experience, one like you're visiting that fun aunt who was never around when you were a kid because she was off busy traveling the world and now she's having you over to share her life stories! The stories are told in the rich diversity of the flavors on her ever-changing menus. You'll smell rich cream sauces, spicy rices, fried green tomatoes, grilled meats, lamb meatloaf with feta - oh my! Make a reservation, get dressed up and come on time, just like you would for that sassy auntie. The patio is the place to be in warm weather. Live music on Thursdays and Sundays in the summer (I believe). Service is excellent. I recommend you request Debbie as your server, but everyone is professional and well trained in the art of hospitality. I always make a point to get up here when I come to TC. Unfortunately that is not very often.

    Walleye dinner

    Lovely restaurant in downtown Sutton's Bay with indoor and outdoors garden seating. Carefully curated menu, not extensive but hits all the right spots. Since we are from California, we ordered the Walleye (can't get it there) and we're not disappointed! Plenty of food for a hungry diner, great vegetables on the side too. Our daughter had the Canadian Halibut that was a special for the night, it was tender and delicious. Everything we saw headed to other tables looked delectable too. We also ordered the Carlson Board that had whitefish sausage, smoked whitefish and whitefish dip. Nice portion for the 3 of us and would be plenty for 4 to share as well. Also something we don't get in CA, so look forward to eating it Up North. Our waitress Savannah was very professional and knowledgeable, she even greeted us later that night as she was walking her pup and we were headed home from a reception.

    Wine list September 2023

    Fabulous food, service (David is wonderful) and a lovely atmosphere. We ate on the patio and the weather cooperated. Good wine list as well, although a $20 corkage policy is a nice option for a special bottle. The cassoulet was amazing, as was a rack of lamb special.

    Broiled Whitefish

    We celebrated with family in the garden patio for a wonderful dinner. The service was great and the food was excellent. It's a great find if you're in the area. They offer a super good deal between 5-6 daily. Make a reservation.

    Quaint and charming

Consistently so delicious and creative. I also like that they let us share (and gave two plates for us both). It was busy and they gave us a seat on the back porch after 20 min or so without previous reservations. We couldn't reach them by phone; so just went in person. Their soups are my favorite thing. I'd bathe in it. This time was celery root and 5 years ago was parsnip. They have the same base of garlic, onion, cream puréed and just know how to do it. Excellent service each time too! My husband loved the SALAD (which he had never said in his life before) as well as the wagyu steak dish and Butterscotch mousse w/ short bread cookie that was best we have ever had (the chefs step dads recipe). After that they gave an extra little snacky of peanut brittle and pop rock orange like candy. The kimchi fritters were my other favorite dish of the night. Very happy cool place.

We had wanted to sit on the rooftop to enjoy the views but it wasn't opening until 4PM so we didn't get to experience that. The clam chowder was on special so I ordered that to start with some peel and eat shrimp, cold- you can get them hot or cold and they were perfectly done and the cocktail sauce wasn't so strong that it overpowered the shrimp which was appreciated. My husband and I shared the trout basket and they were very lightly breaded, not greasy at all and well seasoned. My son ordered a cheeseburger and raved about it so much that he told our waitress on the way out that it was 5-star worthy. Note: he orders burgers everywhere we go so I trust his judgement . It was cooked how he asked- medium rare- and was thick and juicy to top it off. If you're looking for a spot with friendly service and delicious food- it's a must try in Sutton's Bay.

A very busy place, we were lucky we didn't have to wait long for a table. We wanted to sit on the roof patio, which is very popular, since there are views of the lake and the bustling street below. But be aware, there is no elevator, just lots of stairs. Worth it if you can manage it. Tables were clean and service was friendly and fairly prompt. I ordered the namesake "Boone's Burger," with chips, the default side. Hubby ordered the whitefish sandwich with a side of fries. Our son, knowing I don't usually finish my food, ordered soup, intending to finish my order, which he did, as well as his dad's, lol. Smart kid. He ordered the clam chowder, which he liked. I loved my burger, though it only came with one small leaf of romaine lettuce and one small slice of tomato, and three nice pickle slices. No mayo, so I used some of my hubby's tartar sauce, since it tasted like mayo and relish. But we did ask for more tomatoes, which our server brought quickly. The chips were a decent kettle chip, so I was happy. My medium burger was excellent! Quarter pound and cooked perfectly. I loved it. Hubby, on the other hand, wasn't really happy with his sandwich. Although the whitefish was freshly caught, he said it was dry. It was fried, so not sure how that even happened. He wasn't unhappy enough to complain, but he didn't finish it, and he usually finishes a sandwich. I'm sure they would have replaced it if he had said something, it is that kind of place. If you can get a table it is a fun place to grab a bite, especially if you can get a seat on the roof. Parking is a bit of a challenge, so drop off your party first. I highly recommend the burgers!

There were six of us in our group at a table, and you could only hear the person directly next to you. Our group had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant is small, and the tables are very close together and felt packed in. They do have a small roped off 'patio' area on the side walk with a couple of tables. I thought the service was fine, others in the group felt it was poor (probably because no one could hear her and we had to repeat ourselves). The server did recommend that we share several dishes as a table as they are small plates. We ordered the bread and the three vegetable appetizers to start. Here is where it is hard to review: all of the appetizers were fantastic, interesting and fresh preparations. From the light courses section, we had the bougie corn dog and the duck pasta. I'm not a fan of corn dogs, I thought it was fine, but pretentious and not worth ordering, others liked it. I did like the duck pasta. The mushroom tart was boring, dry, and forgettable (side note that if you are in Detroit, Le Supreme's is absolutely fantastic, so this can be memorable). The other stand out was the walleye main, their use of curry made it an interesting, as well as delicious, dish. We all thought the halibut was awful, it arrived with a fishy smell, but was then somehow flavorless. If we were not all splitting it, it would be a send back dish. Overall, the dishes ranged from flavorful and interesting, to terrible. No member of our group felt they would return, and I would recommend against it due to the noise level, it really was that bad. Every sound echoed off of every hard surface. As a result, it just was not an enjoyable experience.
