I can't tell you how perfect the Washington Street Inn was, during my visit. Tony and his wife were…read morewonderful and helpful. it's been years since I've been to Grand Haven and I needed a comfy place to stay, and good advice on local eats. The historic feel of the house was fabulous, from the table that reminded me of growing up, the games in the front room, the cozy room at the front to watch people walk by, and the proximity to downtown and all the places I wanted to go. I loved their attention to detail and even the bunny jelly holder for toast, in the morning . Breakfasts were very cool, and perfect portions. Thank you SO much, Tony. I will absolutely stay with you again.

I can't say enough great things about this home away from home. The fact that I can only give them…read more5 stars seems unfair. And I'm sure even this review will not do them proper justice. It was just an awesome place to stay. Tony and Michelle were born to do this. From the moment we walked in the door, it was clear that this was going to be a great weekend. They both know how to walk that thin line between being ultra-professional and being so welcoming as to feel like long lost friends. Tony and I talked several times the day of arrival as we were a bit delayed in our travel and each of my several phone calls to him were promptly answered with a cheerful, "no problem... we'll be waiting for you." And sure enough, the minute I walked through the door, he was there with a handshake, and some great advice for a late-night dinner. Old-school charm with new-school technology from the door codes to the free (unbelievably fast) Wi-Fi, I literally don't know what else I could've asked for to make this any more comfortable than it already was. They're in a beautiful location with gorgeous parks within a stone's throw and walking distance to downtown (right down the road on Washington Blvd) and the water. It couldn't have been more convenient. The accommodations were amazing. Five bedrooms to pick from, each with their own charm. We picked ours because of the large private bath with an old fashioned claw-foot tub. The bathroom had great water pressure, complimentary high quality shampoos and body washes, and there was even a built-in overhead heater to keep you from getting cold after a shower. The place could not have been cleaner if I cleaned it myself. Either they buy new towels and linens for every guest that stays there or they have some trick up their sleeves they should teach to the rest of the hospitality industry. The sinks and tub didn't have a single water stain. The bedroom and bathroom were both immaculate. I guess that's just the best way to describe it without continuing to go over every detail -- immaculate. Beautiful woodwork through the upstairs hallways and there wasn't a sign of wear anywhere. They clearly care about not only their guests but about this beautiful home away from home. Three common rooms and a beautiful front porch give you a choice as to where you want to socialize, meet other guests, have a coffee, do some work, just relax, or play any number of their countless awesome games (such as the biggest wooden scrabble board you've ever seen or a 40-year-old hand-carved chess board with 10-inch hand-carved pieces for instance) while you're waiting for others in your party to get ready to go out. Free snacks galore (about a dozen different ones to pick from), a refrigerator to use for restaurant leftovers you might bring back, beautiful plateware and silverware, and interesting little furnishings from long past, such as an antique wooden stereoscope viewer and a radio which is guaranteed to be the oldest one you've ever seen, are all a part of the experience. Which brings me to my favorite part -- the breakfast, which is outstanding. The first morning, we were presented with fresh berries served as an appetizer. And I mean a HEALTHY amount of FRESH, BEAUTIFUL berries. The next course was some hand-made warm, cinnamon, pear crumble thing. And the final course was an egg, sausage, and cheese pastry with fennel. Several of them. Per person. The next morning started again with what must have been hand-chosen berries, but this time we received a different delicious crumbly warmed first course followed by this amazing herbed-egg dish which had some sort of baked Parmesan topping. I remember taking the first bite, and then I remember my extra-large oval ramekin (served hot straight from the oven) being clean enough to put back in the cupboard. Everything else between those two points is fuzzy. And all the coffee and juice you can drink. We did not leave that table hungry either morning. And my mouth has been is watering recalling it for this entire paragraph. There's an old saying that when you find something good you have two choices - keep it for yourself or share it with the world, and I don't get to Grand Haven enough to in good conscience keep it for myself. Enjoy!

Artisan is a perfect venue for a special date night, friend's outing, or group event. Dinner is pre fixe and it features an unique nightly menu as planned by the talented Chef, Samantha Sherman. All items are farm to table & from scratch cooking. Our evening's menu included appetizer- lobster & corn salad dip, cherry chipolte salsa & homemade lime seasoned chips. We could have stopped there but the experience got even better! The main plate included marinated flank steak floating in a delicious pool of red pepper romesco sauce, warm potato salad with hot bacon dressing, summer corn in herb butter, and homemade herb rolls. I cleaned my plate! Service was impeccable, 4 servers attended to our every need, they were informative about the food & entertaining. To top off the dinner, desert was included. The desert was a piece of art in itself. Cream trifle with blueberry coulis and fresh strawberries. All food exceptional. We will be attending an event again soon. $$$

We were greeted by the friendly chefs Hillary and Howard who proceeded to make us a delicious three course meal. We all sat at a table built around the stove so we could watch as the food was being prepared. Chef Hillary explained how she was making things and answered questions about how we could make them at home. The food was very fresh and flavorful and beautifully presented. We started off with Lump Crab Cakes with a Rémoulade which were very creamy and tasted like fresh crab. My wife who is on a gluten free diet had an arugula salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts, prosciutto, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing which was also very tasty. We then had a small spoonful of home made sorbet with aged balsamic vinegar as a palate cleanser. The main meal was Hickory Influenced Grilled Salmon on Creamy Roasted Garlic Grits, Grilled Peaches, Red Onions, Fire Roasted Poblano, Green Chili Gastrique, and Apple Smoked Bacon. All of the ingredients complimented each other perfectly and the sauce was the highlight that brought it all together. For dessert we had Crème Brulee with fresh raspberries which was so delicious! We were recently in France and enjoyed many great meals there, this one was up there with the best of them. We highly recommend going to Dinner and a Chef, it will surely be a fun time and a great meal which is worlds better than what you get at the typical chain restaurant.

The Coast Guard Festival is a big deal in Grand Haven, and it shows. The festivals lasts for 10…read moredays, spanning across two weekends at the end of July and beginning of August. What's in the itinerary? It depends on the day. One of my favorites is Tuesday night's Dancing in the Street, where a large stage is set up downstage for--you guessed it--dancing in the street to a very good local cover band. This year I got to take a tour of two Coast Guard ships that were docked in the channel. My spouse was thrilled. If you're a music fan, there's nightly concerts, the majority of them being cover bands. On the second Saturday of the festival, there's fireworks, which people make sure they have a great spot for viewing as early as the morning of. The last thing I'll mention is the carnival with games, rides, and the kids who love them. Food-wise, there's a row of fair food trailers and a section of food trucks around the Elks Lodge off of Washington Street. Plus, just about all the local of the local businesses around downtown will gladly take your money. This summer New Holland Brewing Co. opened a pizza-inspired pinwheels kitchen, which appeared to be very popular with patrons of the festival. There's also plenty of opportunities for booze in the Social District as well as sweets, from ice cream to chocolates to Kilwin's fudge. I've attended the festival two years in a row, and I'll continue to come on the Dancing in the Street night. It's a great night of community and fun. I'll also try to check out the cardboard boat race, which takes place on the first Saturday of the festival. Should you come too? My vote is yes!
