Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Bay City

Adam was our waiter. He was great. Food was outstanding. Drinks were great as well.

Beautiful restaurant and overall great though it had a few hiccups. Hopefully parking isn’t always difficult, but we circled the lot trying to find a spot. Our server ignored us for about 15 minutes and a drink order took 30 minutes. We were told they had just received truffles from France, and they were being offered at $20 for each item on which we wanted them. We ordered $60 worth. They were absolutely flavorless. Very disappointing. We told our server who discussed it with the chef. The chef said they wouldn’t develop flavor for about a month. Why, then, were they offering them? They should have been deducted from our bill. Other than that and the service missteps (we weren’t asked how we wanted our meat cooked -we had to tell him, silverware missing), the food was excellent -steak and prime rib perfectly cooked and and we both loved the spinach and butterscotch pudding. I ordered a Grasshopper -hadn’t had one in many years - skip it- unimaginative and definitely not worth the calories. In fairness, our visit was during the Christmas holidays, but for a restaurant of this caliber, it should have been nearly perfect.

The setting was casual and elegant simultaneously - laid back white table cloth. Our server was knowledgeable and observant without hovering - well done. Our cocktails were delicious, well made. Side spinach and feta salads were of an appropriate size and made from fresh ingredients. Our entrees - scallops over risotto and pan fried whitefish - were fantastic. Well done - thumbs up!

Excellent food and service! The French onion soup was amazing. The filet was one of the best steaks I've ever had.

While not vegetarians, we always enjoy great tasting food and delightful service. A true gem!
