Best Lunch Restaurants in Traverse City

Great visit to the Artisan! Our server was Monica and she was amazing! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our Babymoon and they made us feel very welcome and special! I put the special occasion in my notes prior which I’m sure helped. We got the storm cloud stout and golden hour for beverages. Golden hour was non-alcoholic and DELICIOUS!!! Tasted like a creamy caramel apple drink, so good! Bread and butter appetizer. Super soft ciabbata and warm apple walnut bread. Dinner I got the scallops and my boyfriend got the braised short ribs. The caramalized onions with the scallops was phenomenal. The short ribs pasta wasn’t what we expected but it was still good! Our food took longer than expected so the chef wanted to buy us dessert! We weren’t bothered at all by the wait time, but we’re pleased with the dessert. We got the chocolate torte with the raspberry and chocolate sauce. It was to dieeeee for, so yummy!!!! Finally we finished our meal with some complimentary some sort of tea sparkling drink that was non alcoholic to celebrate our baby moon! Everything was so appreciated and tasted awesome!! 10/10 visit

Honestly I chose this place because I could get a reservation on Valentines Day but I was pleasantly surprised at how elegant it was with white tablecloths and napkins. We were seating right away even though we were early. Had an amazing crab appetizer , 6 oz filet and a chocolate cake to die for. Good service. We were never hurried although they were very busy. Loved this place and will return the next time we visit Traverse City.

Our lunch was amazing. We had a delicious variety of foods and tasty beverages. Our server Danielle was thoughtful and prompt, available but did not hover. The Thai cashew mango salad was a highlight, a symphony of flavors and textures, truly yummy. Don't skip the beverages, they were beautifully paired with the courses and lovely to linger over. We were very relaxed, and delighted with our meal

This was our first time dining at Minerva's, we were celebrating my brother's birthday! It was a great experience, the atmosphere was enjoyable, the food was delicious and the staff was outstanding, friendly and accommodating, we will definitely be back!

The food was definitely the standard for Good Bowl, excellent! I’m so glad to have experienced it even while they were closed. Perfect pairing with NoBo! Thank you all!
