While the tented area is in the parking lot, it offers nice views of the Leland river and passerby on the main Leland thoroughfare. My pizza (carry out), and then our pizza (eat "in") were both very good. Their pizzas have that yummy buttery crust! MmmmMmmmmm! Ditto the side garden salad, crisp and yum. They've also got a fairly comprehensive selection of craft beers (impressive in light of having to manage outdoor cooler space). Prices are reasonable and service can also be counted on. Both Erin and Forrest will take good care.

Our beloved Bluebird Restaurant that we've been going to for decades is gone.

We enjoyed our meal at Riverside Inn, and enjoyed our view of Lake Leelanau. The whitefish with…read morerisotto and cherry-maple glaze was nicely done, with a crisp skin and a sauce that added just the right amount of sweetness. The steak was flavorful and cooked well, paired with blistered shishito peppers that gave a subtle smoky heat. The roasted carrots and the Parmesan-rosemary potatoes were both nice accompaniments for the entrées. The restaurant was already full at 5 PM on a weekday, make a reservation if you can.

Table of 6 on a Sunday at 6pm, a super nice day out on the patio overlooking the golf course…read more Whitefish chowder - very watery. More of a soup than a chowder. Potatoes were...al dente. Choices were made in the kitchen. I would recommend they make different ones in the future. Who knows, tho, maybe watery chowder is your thing and you prefer your potatoes just barely to the right of crunchy. Beet salad - the tiny beet cubes are hard to fork...but there are a generous amount of them! Tons of goat cheese. I added candied pecan pieces and it was a great compliment. A perfectly serviceable salad. Oddly enough, could have used more lettuce. Whitefish sandwich with fries - we love salt, but there's an upper limit and these fries hit it. For once in life...could have used less salt. The sandwich itself was only so so. Could have used more fish and less sauce. Nothing in this had very much flavor, unfortunately. Not great, for the price. The view makes this place, for sure. Very nice outdoors under the veranda on a sunny summer day. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. They got very busy and we had to flag them down for the bill after a while, but they were otherwise great!

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.

The pizza looks excellent - we'll be back to try that soon, too!

Situated right on Omena Bay the views from here are excellent. The atmosphere is definitely in the…read morenautical theme. Nothing wrong with that as it is done in a welcoming way. I started with their Seafood Chowder ($10) this is said to be loaded with Shrimp, Clams and Crab. I could identify these things individually, however taste wise it was excellent.  I definitely wished the cup of it had been bigger. Price seems a little steep for portion size, but no complaints taste wise. I then ordered their Fried Chicken ($19) this had Golden-Fried Breast, Drum and Thigh with Mashed Potato and asparagus. The chicken was excellent, well seasoned and crispy, but still juicy. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were undercooked. A little harder then I prefer them to be, but edible and at least it was real potatoes. The service was great. Super cheerful and helpful. They accidentally put someone else order on my bill and they corrected it with cheer. Overall a couple minor issues, but still a solid 4 star review for me. Would I return? Absolutely!
