    We went there for wine tasting and appetizers. We tasted sweet wines and dry wines, and all were…read moredelicious. The whitefish dip and burrata were utterly delicious and savory. The bread they serve with these two appetizers goes perfectly and is also dIvine. I loved the atmosphere and the staff. They treated my little group of three like we were royalty. I recommend this establishment highly.

    Gilchrist is a charming house turned restaurant and winery in equally charming Sutton's Bay. We…read moremade reservations for lunch on a Saturday, though they were not overly busy during our visit. Two of the current Top Chef contestants were previously chefs here before filming. They have a good sized uncovered outdoor patio, and more limited seating inside. The interior seating has a homey feel, the decor is simple Northern, Lake Michigan. The menu is short, but a good variety of options, I'm not sure how often it changes, as the entrees during our visit were a bit more substantial, suited for cooler weather. We had Ceasar salads, Mac and cheese, burrata, and Chicken Marsala. I also had their soup of the day, a beef chili, my favorite item we had. We thoughts the Ceasar was a standard good. The Mac and Cheese was a bit boring and dry. The Burrata was great, nice fresh tomato's. We also enjoyed the chicken. I had a flight of three of their wines, nicely presented. I thought both of the whites, first fruits, and the Gruner Veltliner, were very good. Gilchrist is relatively newer to the area wineries and a nice addition.

    This was on a small lake with outdoor seating and good-sized bar indoors. The menu had many…read morechoices to choose from. The service was alright, and the food came out in a timely manner. The water did taste a little funny just to note. For appetizers, the loaded potato skins ($14.99) and wings with honey BBQ sauce ($14.99) were ordered. The potato skins were filled with Applewood bacon, sweet onions, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and melted Cheddar Jack cheese. These were very tasty. They were definitely loaded with all of the toppings. I do not recall seeing peppers, onions, and mushrooms on a potato skin before, but they did wonders with the bacon and cheese. The wings were very saucy. There were eight appropriate size wings. They could have been crispier. For an entrée, the Michigan whitefish ($26.99) was ordered. It also came with a side, and I chose the string beans, which were outstanding. They were crispy with plenty of garlic. The whitefish was seasoned with Parmesan crusted spices. The fish was of good size and cooked well. It just lacked seasoning as it needed a little more. Will I go back? Probably.

    Won't be back, and I suggest you all avoid this place also…read more Restaurant So we're seated in the far corner next to the swamp, not waterfront, swamp. The walls were dirty. The windows were dirty. We had a good view of snakes and spiders and just a swamp. Service Like a lot of people are saying the wait staff here at this place is definitely rough. Not nice. Don't seem to really be too interested in customer service. That should've been the tip for us to leave right then. Food We both got the ribeye sandwich. It really should've been called a grilled cheese sandwich with grease that tastes like meat. You can see in the pictures. This is what they served us. This is what they were proud of. This is what they're saying bring the family home is their motto? For what, a greasy grilled cheese that taste like crap for $18.99 and you gotta pay $4 dollars more to get fries. We took a couple of bites and then we brought it home. And then we threw it away. Cost So here's the end of it. $18.99 for each sandwich. They weren't worth much more than five bucks. If that. Then you have to pay more for fries. And four dollars for an iced tea. I'm attaching our bill... 52 bucks plus tip out the door. Let's just say it was pretty much 52 bucks. I didn't tip much on this gig. Summary Waterfront restaurant is a swamp and not Lake Cadillac as you would expect. Customer service that is lacking for sure Food just sucks and not even worth the cost at all. They obviously don't care about keeping their restaurant clean or about serving food that customers actually like and they're proud to serve. $52 for two sandwiches and two drinks. We are locals here to Cadillac and I will never stop foot in this place again. We've been here once before and we left because we didn't even have anybody come and wait on us after we were seated. I don't know why we went back this time, but we won't be going again. I suggest all you people coming up here to enjoy the great up north don't spoil your vacation by stopping in to Burke's Waterfront.
