- SSimonaVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 19, 2025There was a Lions game at the same time, so it was pretty noisy in the restaurant. Also, one meal wasn’t ready at the same time with the other five, only 10 min later. Other than that, all was good - delicious food, very nice waitress.More infoLakeview RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Bellaire•4
- SSharonNorthern Michigan / Upper Peninsula •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025Everything was very good. The Tomahawk steak is not worth $170. The butternut squash puree that can with my scallops was a tablespoon total, or less, which was also a bit disappointing. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend and will go again.More infoAerie Restaurant & LoungePrice: Very Expensive• American• Acme•4.2
Discover Northern Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a heavily forested region rich in game. This area features plenty of outdoor activities and a short but produce-rich summer season. Multiple wineries dot Northern Michigan, offering tastings and dining options paired with the intense and fruity wines made from short-season grapes. Freshwater fish, both cooked and smoked, are abundant and prepared to perfection. Fans of craft beer will enjoy both the beverages and the views of the surrounding lakes in the gorgeous country north of Lake Michigan. If the chill is hard to shake, you can warm things up in Marquette with a Cajun dinner. Be sure to save room for dessert. The Upper Peninsula is rich with wild berries, and you can't leave without trying some pie!
