They…read moremake all the traditional Italian dishes one would expect to see at a fine upscale restaurant that you would find in any big cosmopolitan city along with other entree's to include fish, steak and chicken options. Food is well prepared with great visuals and most importantly tastes great. Setting has a nice darker rustic comfy vibe to it with a large gas fired pizza oven going on one side with fresh and oh so tasty bread cooking away which adds a nice Italian accent to the setting. Restaurant also has a full service bar where my Old Fashioned was very well made and oh so tasty in its own right. Also just as important, especially for an Italian restaurant, they have a very nice wine list to choose from. Overall, if you are in the north eastern side of the state and your pallet leans towards fine cuisine than this is a must visit restaurant as you will not be disappointed.

I was struggling to decide between the Prime Rib and the Lasagna. I was prompted to try the lasagna since it was made fresh in house every day. I'm so glad k made this choice!! My only disappointment is the atmosphere - it is always dark and kind of depressing. It is just the style of the restaurant and not my preference. It isn't a knock.

Could have been a great place from what I saw online. Instead it was anything but great…read more First, I called when they first opened and asked if reservations were needed for a party of 10. The person answering the phone seemed annoyed and not interested. They sharply answer no. I followed up with a question about how late they are open, since we might be going later in the evening. Again, a sharp response. We disconnected after that. This was clue number one. In the evening we arrived around 5:30. Not a single car was in the parking lot. That should have been clue number two. We asked where they would like a party of ten. They pointed said push table together wherever. Then mentioned, oh we have a modified menu. A list of about 10-15 items that were all deep fried only. We had picked this place due to their variety of items. This is something that 100% should have been told to us on the phone. Don't worry, we decided to go to another place for dinner after some of the members in our group did not want fried food. Only reason this is not a 1 star is I think the name is clever. Outside that. Poor customer service both over the phone and in house. I recommend avoiding.

It was a cold night, and a fire would have been nice. I ordered the sampler and it was very good. I asked if they had complementary bread and they said no.

They were very good and I was very happy until I received my bill and realized that they charged me $10 for what I thought was complementary bread.

Unfortunately the balloons did not take off in time for us, as we had dinner reservations. The wind was too strong that evening, so they eventually launched--but well past the scheduled time. Regardless, I'm glad we didn't miss this dinner. It's not because I hadn't been to Spring & Porter before; it's because of whatever Tommy has done. Wow, did that night deliver. And I'm not talking an average wow. This was, I have to say, like a Napa Valley experience. I'm going to use The French Laundry as a comparison. I know people will argue with me on that--maybe a little--but listen: I was at The French Laundry 30 years ago when it was The French Laundry. It's not the same restaurant it was then. Tommy and his team have absolutely created a destination restaurant. I'll start with our server. In the state of Michigan, she takes the accolades as the top server. She should be the bar by which others in her profession are judged. By the way, her name is Heidi, sorry Heidi. I didn't mean to miss your name. I just don't wanna give you a big head. Seriously Heidi understands how to serve a table like you're not gonna see in most restaurants you've ever visited in your lifetime. She takes her profession very seriously and still knows how to have great interaction with the people she's taking care of. My friends are still raving about how she took care of us. They said they've never had anybody take care of them like that. OK now let's get to the food. I looked at the menu as I said I've been to this restaurant more than a few times, but they've changed up the menu since I've been there last I have to admit I have not been out much this summer. This was actually my first evening out with friends this summer. So they have two appetizer sections. I'm not sure how many exactly there are, but I took charge of the order. Everybody agreed to let me do the ordering because they liked my idea and they've never done it before but this is kind of how I roll. I ordered everything on the appetizer menu with the exception of the Barada salad. Heidi brought them out I believe two at a time so it was kind of like a chefs service almost but small plates basically but enough for four people each appetizer with the exception of one which we doubled up and I believe that was the lamb chops. If you followed my yelp reviews in the past, you'll know I usually take pictures of my food. I take pictures of my food at home for crying out loud however this evening because I haven't been out all summer. I'm kinda out of practice so I did not take any photos that evening. I could go on, as my friends are still raving about this evening. If you're willing to change it up sometime, I would try Spring & Porter. It's the finest restaurant at this point in Petoskey by a country mile, & gets top marks in Michigan in my book. As far as ambience goes, it's a great night out to take your date your wife or your family place very well done and they've added a really nice outdoor space. Also excellent parking. Heidi, thank you very much for an incredible evening, looking forward to next time. C

Staff were all exceptionally friendly (Luke took care of me). I started with the shrimp tostadas as an app. Amazingly, lite, and fresh. It made me feel like I was eating seaside in the Baja of Mexico. Order two, you'll eat them! I was intrigued about the chop and toss salad with smoked blue cheese. That wasn't the show stealer in the salad it was these blanched heirloom, tomatoes, done in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs. The bacon adds to the smokiness, the acidity from the red onion cuts through and then the avocado, adds an extra layer of creaminess. If this salad were an Olympic sport. It would be a gold medalist! Do not leave here unless you order the salad! I saw the two words I have been looking for all vacation... sea scallops? Gnocchi Parmesan delicious perfection! Fresh herbs and interestingly enough a red sauce which was different but worked well the fresh veggies. Only drawback of the dish was there were only three scallops. They were however cooked perfectly! Presentation on food was what I would expect from a true culinary artist! Plates were wiped and not only tasted great but looked great! Get here early. This place gets packed and rockin. RSVP through open table. Doors open at 4. This is a must do experience in Petoskey! It's not cheap but it is a killer experience of class, food art, flavors, and world class service!
