Restaurants near Mitchell Creek Waterfowl Area

This is our favorite restaurant in Traverse City and we always dine here for the special occasions in our life. All of their wait staff are awesome, but Mary is our favorite! If you’re looking for a wonderful experience, try The Boathouse….summer or winter!

Never disappoints. Stunning views. Elegance. The Sunday brunch was amazing and very reasonably priced. Prime rib was super tender. Nice omelette station. Highly recommended.

Artisans was not too busy on the weeknight we ate there, and that may have helped the level of service—excellent, and the nice quiet atmosphere. The food preparation and taste combinations are simply artistry on a plate. Unusual and yet delicious! Only thing that still needs to be fixed are the uncomfortable chairs, for smaller people, but at least they offer cushions now to help. A really special meal!

Excellent as always! A little bit rude greeter, but food was great

My friends who had the walleye were delighted. The harvest pizza was delicious, though l would have liked a little more of the toppings...the beets and squash. Our server, Ari, was amazing! She was fun and very helpful. She gets 7 stars! We will be back.
