Really nice local restaurant in Harbor Springs. I'm always amazed at how much tasty food one good cook can produce. I feel like our party of six where the only tourists there, but they treated us great, like locals.

Cute old bar on corner by the marina, not very big inside. Wait staff consisted of two and two cooks in the kitchen. Was pretty packed at 2pm but Kelly did a spectacular job. Both servers were hopping and turning over the customers as quickly as possible. Great olive burger!! Pretty delicious perch sandwich too.

We attended the Hot Air Balloon festival at Bay Harbor. It was a fantastic time! Great atmosphere and great energy. My sister in-law Michelle Denise organized the event along with being the main contact person for all the on site vendors. Michelle always does an amazing job in putting events together and this year's hot air balloon festival was no exception!

Stopped into this spot in Bay Harbor for a quick bite and ended up having the best time thanks to Whitney behind the bar— She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made me feel taken care of. I had the cheeseburger and a Paloma. Loved the view of the water too. Whitney made the whole experience better! If you’re in town, definitely stop by—and hope you get her!

A great place for common folks to eat and enjoy. We rode there on bikes (bicycles) from Petoskey. My wife loved her perch sandwich. Onion rings were a real treat. My burger juicy, fresh, outstanding. Highly recommend.
