The waitress was very cheerful and attentive making for a fun experience. The happy hour at this place can't be beat half off all drinks. The drinks were all delicious. It was apparent they were made by a bartender that cares about his craft. The food was also great we just got some snacks but everything was so good especially the hummus and burrata.

Happy hour is THE BEST deal!! we had 6 drinks and a $25 pizza ($22 + 3 extra Italian sausage=$25). Service was TERRIFIC !! Attentive without being overbearing or overly obsequious. atmosphere on the patio in summer is terrific. What is there not to love about summer and Traverse City?! Inside it's very cozy and I would think it would be terrific anytime of the year, comfortable sofas, plenty of small and large party seating available. The bar seems to be efficiently run and drinks come pretty quickly. I would strongly recommend.!

I liked it so much I went back a week later to order it again, however, they were all out of biscoff so I opted for the maple chai espresso and it was not my favorite. Cute ambiance and would recommend checking this place out though!

And somehow, you completely forget you're literally dining in what used to be an insane asylum... which honestly just makes it even cooler. The food was amazing every bite was so good and the wine? Even better. Like, the kind of place where you keep saying "just one more glass" and suddenly it's a whole night. This place is a whole experience, and we will absolutely be back.

The Little Fleet is by far the best solution we've found for our meals downtown. There's always something for everyone and the options are ever-changing so we don't get sick of it. It's also a great place for drink later in the evening. I will always recommend this spot to those visiting the area for the first time and it's a crowd pleaser. Most recently, I got the salt and pepper squid from their year round collaborator, Crocodile Palace and I was impressed and surprised. The salt and pepper seasoning, which you can also get on chicken wings, was sour, peppery, and numbing but not truly spicy. It was a very new taste for me but I absolutely loved it!

Unfortunately, the bartender, Jason, and one of the younger staff members began harassing me and telling me I needed to leave simply because I was holding my fishing pole. I remained patient and respectfully asked him to get a manager to speak with me, especially since I used to work for one of the food trucks there and had never experienced any issues before. Despite this, the harassment continued. Later, I returned with my family, a party of 20, and while I was inside, Jason and another woman with dreadlocks began making disrespectful comments and attempting to taunt me. Their behavior was extremely immature, unprofessional, and upsetting.
