We went for happy hour on a Friday. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious! We sat…read moreoutside and ordered Dark and Stormys. The Dark and Stormys were a bit sweeter than I'm used to - I'm guessing that they used lime syrup instead of lime juice but the good news is that I like my cocktails sweet. All in all, it was a wonderful happy hour! PS I have been here before and I ordered the gazpacho. I was disappointed that it was super puréed and there weren't chopped up pieces of the veggies or anything crunchy.

I wish that the lime and orange came through more, they both leaned very heavy on the bitter end which I wasn't expecting for both (one, sure, but not the other) I hope I find some brighter, citrus flavors on the next visit. We will always come back. It doesn't stay open super late so we gor kicked out lol but we always have a good time.

600 is such a cute place for a lovely meal!…read more We have been multiple times but stopped in on a recent sunny afternoon for some lunch. 600 is so light and airy, we really love the atmosphere!! We had a really great waitress, I wish I would have gotten her name! She was doing the job of hostess and waitress to multiple tables, and doing it all very well! We ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad for our lunch entrees! Both were very good and presented very well! While the food is good and quality feels high - the price is also on the high side. For a sandwich and a salad, waters to drink, we spent over $50 for our lunch! Just something to be aware of! While we had time - the experience was not fast. Something to be aware of if needing a quick lunch. The restaurant was not overly busy but the wait was a little long to receive our order. I ordered a salmon salad - the menu nor the website specify if the salmon is wild caught or farmed. I would really love to know this information - the price would be much better reflected if it were indeed wild caught. :)

A group of six of us came in for brunch and were seated upstairs, which we really enjoyed. It was…read morequieter and felt more private, making it a nice space for conversation. The service was on the slower side and could have used more attention to detail--coffee refills were missed, and we didn't have spoons to stir our coffee. That said, our server was kind and had a gentle, pleasant demeanor. The food overall was very good. Only one person in our group was disappointed--the chicken and waffles were described as dry, with the chicken coating lacking flavor. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, and the desserts were a standout; they were excellent and loved by all. One area that could use improvement is the upstairs bathroom. While it was well stocked with supplies, it needed cleaning. Clear signage for the upstairs restroom and perhaps a nice piece of artwork would also be welcome touches. Overall, a nice brunch experience with great desserts and room for a few improvements.

So the first thing to know: this is actually a private club (not just a club in name only), so you…read morehave to be invited by a member if you aren't one yourself. But if you're fortunate enough to have access, you're in for a treat. The building is historic (and now recently renovated), filled with old dark woods, original stained glass, and antique furnishings. Private rooms are available for special occasions. Some of the food is genuinely outstanding, if not wholly so across the board. Petit filet, whitefish, and schnitzel are standards and very well executed, and most of the starters (we've had them all) are really good. The wine list and top-shelf liquor options are the best you're likely to find in town. For dessert, both the creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding (my personal favorite) are excellent. One additional tip: there is a dress code, so guys are generally expected to wear a jacket, ladies to adopt "business formal" (not casual), and everyone should avoid jeans. It's not the stuffiest possible environment, but it is dominated by old, white money, and will never feature a diverse crowd in any respect. So bear that in mind. You should be able to expect outstanding service, though, no matter what.

Beautiful inside, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. They were sold out a good amount of wines which was sad for my red wine loving boyfriend. It would be cool to know what the wine was instead of getting after labeled. We had two flights and shared brie with crackers. It was a lovely time, can't wait to go back.

Didn't stay here but made the long drive to experience it and have dinner…read more Staff- very sweet smiling welcoming... that's what deserves the stars. Property - smaller than I expected. Left late and she was still working out on the garden. Very sweet and small chat she made sure we didn't miss seeing an area on property. Wine - red recommendation with dinner, medium bodied, good. Drinks - amazing bartender wears a few hats so drinks take a bit, you better be patient for a good drink. Food - we had steak, seafood, and kids chicken dinner. Both steak and chicken were good, don't order scallops. Apologies but no recommendations to order something else, re-do, or anything off the check. I provided feedback on my experience 3 times and still no customer service on this expensive dinner. Only picture taken so you believe me. If I come back to this area for whatever reason I may only come back to enjoy a glass of wine in the garden, nothing more. All reviews I read were older so gave it a try.

We did a flight of reds along with a Caramel Apple cider. We also ordered their whitefish dip (GF).

We loved Third Times a Charm which was a red blend. We bought a bottle even tho it was pricey..39.00. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as live entertainment and food specials on certain nights of the week. Check their website for more details.

A new to us winery in the Coloma/Patton Harbor area…read more The space itself is gorgeous. It's overlooking hills and vineyards, it has a massive patio. There's also plenty of indoor seating if the weather takes a turn. The wine was good. It did not stand out above other places places I've been to in the area, but I would definitely drink it again. My biggest complaint would've been that they had music playing on the speakers that was so loud we could hardly hear ourselves, even though we were sitting the furthest away from it. They were having a band coming in later, which is a great idea. But if it's not live music, why on earth would you have the music so loud. I hope that it is quieter next time we visit (which we will do again). Not really the atmosphere to sample wind in. I also wish the staff was a little more helpful at wines. No wineries is good at everything, so I like to ask what they do best or what they recommend. The person pouring just responded that everything was great, which isn't super helpful. Nonetheless we really did enjoy our visit. I would definitely go again, and if you are visiting wineries in the area, you should definitely stop by..

I especially liked the nonalcoholic choices while my husband enjoyed the craft beer selection. Food and service were both excellent. The deviled eggs are a must, and that's from someone who generally doesn't eat them. The dinner menu isn't terribly large but what they do, they do very well. Dessert menu rotates but the pots de crème we ordered was amazing. Prices and portion sizes are pretty reasonable. We intend to make Borrowed Time a regular stop during or trips to SW Michigan.

It's not bad but not great for an event. So we went for Mother's Day. They had a special buffet…read more Pros: The prime rib was pretty good. The staff was pretty nice and we saw at least two staff working really hard. Cons: -for $48/person the buffet was mediocre -the staff just stood around mostly and joked/talked. I'm fine with this as I was a server once but when it takes 20 min to get water after requesting and you see your server standing and joking for 10 min of those 20 min it's hard to think highly of them. However, I should explain that there were two staff members that we saw that were just flying around. There were a couple more that I saw moving quickly when I saw them so they could also be really fast workers. The problem was just contrast of half the staff not being that active in service was slow. We didn't even know what to do with the buffet and payment after being seated. Overall, I don't think I probably will return at least for a while until the staff gets trained better. I get the feeling it's just that they're young. I'm just surprised as at least when I was a server. I would've been told if you have time to lean you have time to clean or to start congregating.
