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.

Friendly, attentive, professional and knowledgeable. Consistently! The cocktail list is small but good, and my cucumber tequila drink was fantastic. The second one was just as good. The ahi tuna tacos disappeared almost before I could get a picture lol. My wife had the ahi tuna entree with the crispy rice, which she loved. I had the lobster fra diavlo which also was quite tasty. I was a little surprised it wasn't more crowded on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. It's a very comfortable place, but can be a bit noisy when the restaurant and bar are full. The brunch menu looks good too, one day we will give brunch a try.

We came here for a late lunch and honestly, it was still very busy but after we finished enjoying…read moreour meal and dessert, I can understand why. We were seated at a table close to the bar. When you come in, you are immediately and pleasantly assaulted by their dessert display case so feast your eyes and meanwhile, plan to save some room in your belly because trust me, you'll want some of their dessert. As a result, I ordered a salad, the up north cobb which was good and moderately filling and my husband had the special which was a chicken salad sandwich served with chips. We both had a nice lighter lunch followed by some delicious desserts. Generally, I order dessert and my husband eats what I cannot but this time, he orders his own. I had the cherry crumble and he had the sticky toffee pudding. Their dessert definitely satisfies the sweet tooth craving. So good and so much food! Service was fine. We ended up with the bartender as our waitress who had to do both roles during a busy time. She was a bit flustered but was generally pleasant whenever she came to the table to get our order and check on us. I only wish we were able to come here for dinner but lunch definitely did not disappoint and the dessert was epic!

We were at the kitchen counter and the head chef/owner talked to us a lot while he was at the pass finishing dishes. He was not overbearing, where it was annoying. He was very friendly. He asked a lot of questions and we returned the favor. He went around talking to other tables too. Besides him, the rest of the staff was very pleasant and accommodating, including the chefs doing the cooking! It was one of the best experiences I had in regard to the staff. I have included what I ate below. Everything was timed out well too. Our Bread ($8) - This was a cheddar bread with ranch butter. This was very good. It came out extremely warm. The ranch butter was light and paired perfectly with the soft inside and slight crisp on the outside of the bread. Cucumber ($16) - This came with salsa Macha, pickled jalapeno, and cilantro. This appeared extremely fresh. There was a slight kick from the jalapenos and/or salsa. It all went well together with one another. Ricotta Gnudi ($17) - This came with pea, basil, country ham, and Marcona almonds. The gnudi had an unreal texture. The almonds were a nice added touch for some crunch. I did not really think the ham was needed. Potato ($17) - This came in a brown-butter cheese sauce with shallots and pickled mushrooms. This was my favorite non dessert dish of the night. The cheese sauce was unreal with tons of flavors, while the pickled mushrooms combined with the crispy shallots made for a superb pairing. Fried Chicken ($16) - This came with two large chicken pieces with a white BBQ sauce. This was brined in Earl Grey tea. The skin was crispy as anything, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. It was moist with great color. The white BBQ sauce was one of the best sauces I had in a while. I do not have much experience with white BBQ sauces, but this was tremendous. The vinegar could really be tasted and paired well with the hot crispy skin of the chicken. Halibut ($47) - This came with white beans, chermoula, and black garlic. The halibut was cooked perfectly, and the chermoula was ideal with the slight crisp from the large beans. There was also a nice crunch from crispy brown rice it seemed like. Key Lime Pie ($16) - This was with a homemade graham crust, white chocolate, and a basil meringue. This was my favorite overall dish of the night. The crust was one of the best I ever had. It was so buttery and had a perfect thickness to the key lime filling. The little meringue pieces on top was an ideal topping. Will I go back? Obvious.

Looking at the bill of $112 for myself, I noticed two different totals; one for cash and one for a credit card. My friend tried to pay with a check and that was denied; not considered cash.

If this company charges another .03% per customer, then ,perhaps, they should raise their dinner prices instead. But the dinners were extremely expensive. Good Luck, when the tourist go home.

The restaurant is a house in downtown Traverse City. They only have space for 22 seats, and it was never full during our visit. It is intimate and welcoming. I made a reservation three months ahead, and obtained a seating for 8pm. We were welcomed warmly, and immediately seated. A complimentary mushroom broth "tea" was brought out. My friend who does not like mushrooms even enjoyed it. The service was perfect. Our server understood how to facilitate tasting courses, and the one very small misstep (under down steak for the member of our party that is pregnant, so it was not a being picky situation) was immediately handled without needing to be asked. The wine sommelier did a beautiful pairing. She offered the right level of presentation. Our group of four did the tasting menu. As they are farm to table, and the menu is constantly changing, it is not beneficial to discuss specific menu items. I do want to say the celery soup was representative of the experience, something I would not think to try or sounded amazing but was. My non dessert eating friend loved her dessert, she actually ate the entire cake. Interesting, creative, but not pretentious. A meal to be remembered.

The staff tried to get us to move indoors, but the overhang on the patio was plenty to keep us dry and plus we got a free show of everyone across the street at the food truck park trying to scramble.
