The smoke has certainly changed the view today. With more than 850 active wildfires burning across Canada, the haze has settled over Northern Michigan. Air quality has reached the "Very Unhealthy" category, and our outdoor patio is closed for today.

The good news? Our air-conditioned dining room is open, comfortable, and ready to welcome you for lunch, dinner, or your favorite cocktail.

Come escape the smoke, enjoy a delicious meal, and let us take care of the cooking while we wait for those beautiful West Bay views to return. Reservations are always welcome (231) 421-9393

We look forward to serving you.
