Lake Leelanau Restaurants

Had an amazing experience in the cozy cabana. It exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun swimming in the outdoor pool during a snow storm, while it was 10 degrees outside. The pool was so warm. The jumbo pretzel and the pizza was delicious. The drinks were so good too, especially the espresso martini. The service has all around been great. We will be coming back every year!

Always an excellent meal and experience! The Boathouse does not disappoint.

Food was delicious except for the house salad. The dressing had too much vinegar

We’ve eaten lunch there twice and had the calamari, which is some of the best eleven ever had! But we took friends there for dinner, it was happy hour so it was noisy but the food made up for it! One guest had the 4 fish entree and said it was really good, his wife had the maple salmon and ate every bite ( she said the glaze was really sweet but that didn’t stop her enjoying it) my husband had the seafood pot pie and devoured it, he’d get that agin in a heartbeat. I had the parpedelle pasta and it was huge with calamari on top ! Spinach and micro greens were the garnish which I LOVE! Both couples added the house salad to split and it was delicious! We split the lava cake and it was a good choice, it was so good and moist! Can’t wait to go back! Our server was Kayla and she was excellent as well We all had drinks and a bottle of wine , highly recommend the frenzy! Our friend orders old fashions everywhere she goes and she really liked reflect’s, I got the traverse hurricane and it was amazing!

We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.
