Food is excellent. A bit pricey, worth every cent. As much as possible all original recipes and made from in season produce. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Wonderful selection of sodas.

We knew the wait can be long so went early, 6 PM
Seated immediately, and served quickly.
Everything from service to staff to food was great!
Can’t say enough good things about the food!
Pork belly for appetizer, pressed chicken and Delmonico steak, all great!
Great gelato for dessert with awesome espresso!
I would recommend without hesitation!!!
Make a day if it when the weather improves!!!response / report this review -

Excellent find in Fennville! We received great service from the wait staff and the chefs. The small plates/appetizers were beautifully crafted and most were served with a delicious sauce. We tried 3 of the pizzas, all were all delicious. The mac in a pie was the best. They have an excellent wine list as well. Thanks Matt for those extra carrots!!!

Fantastic Service, good food. We loved the brussel sprouts we had as a side dish. Dessert was fantastic. My only complaint is I wish they took reservations.

My wife and I's favorite restaurant. Friendly staff, great beer & wine selection, and some of the best food we've ever eaten. We love the seasonal, ever-changing menu. Every time we visit is a new experience.

Driving by - looked nice. Sunday brunch 1230 pm. Great competent service. Friendly environment. Nice thoughtful menu. Wonderful food!!! Can't wait to go back for dinner. Higher priced but worth it.

Overall experience was not good.
Seating time: we had a reservation so we were sat immediately.
Wait time before drinks: very short, or waitress was quick to ask us for drink orders
Waitstaff: not great. While she was quick to ask for drink orders she said she wanted to "placate" us with bread since the bar was running a smidge behind and once drinks were in and dinner orders were given we barely ever saw her again.
Wait time between drinks and food: 1.5 HOURS.
Food quality: every single item is overly salted so its hard to know if something is of high quality or even fresh. It's hard to make something overly salty and bland at the same time but they accomplished that.
Food quantity: small even for fine dining. The Salisbury steak was the size of a deck of cards with a single tiny baby carrot and one redskin potato cut in half (not the fingerling potatoes as advertised) all for $17. The only thing on the menu of good size for cost is the pizza.
Overall: not a good experience for the cost. They are ambitious to use locally sourced items but fall flat in preparation. Quality and quantity are not present for the cost. Hopefully the kitchen will get it together and make something worthy of the bounty that is in southwest Michigan. Until then, be prepared for small dishes with copious salt.response / report this review -

I visited on a Saturday night and got sat immediately. The wait for food was long, but it is all made to order from scratch, so I am not sure why everyone is complaining in the reviews. Are you a toddler? Eat a snack.
Everything was great and cooked well. We started with the perogies and a couple glasses of wine, which were perfect. I had the bluefish with curry for an entree. The fish was cooked perfectly, but I thought the curry overpowered the fish and didn't compliment. Of course, this is just a difference in tastes between myself and the chef, so don't let this deter you!
Dessert was a strawberry and whipped honey dish that was ethereal.
Service was great, food was great. Well worth the stop.response / report this review -

The food and service was good. It seemed to take just a little longer than normal to get our food. It may be because everything is handmade. All in all was enjoyable.

we came here for my girlfriend's birthday dinner on a weekend trip to MI's wine country. It did not disappoint. Seriously one of the best places I've been to in a long while

Wonderful dining experience! We came for my birthday, and were really impressed! This place is truly a culinary gem! Everything you eat is well thought out from presentation to flavor! The food tastes fresh and so tasty! Our waitress Heather was exceptional! You could tell she cared about our experience and really enjoyed her job! We loved this place, and will definitely be back again soon!!

We split the pressed chicken, it was excellent. Very juicy. Atmosphere and service were really great. They underpromised and overdelivered on the wait for a table. Told us 30 min, seated us in about ten. Only issue is the cheddar crackers, which were too salty. I'd definitely come here again.
