    We never pass up the chance to dine at Terrace Inn and 1911 Restaurant when we’re in the Petoskey area. The Inn is a beautiful step back in time and the food is wonderful. The innkeepers and staff are so friendly and accommodating. We have been visiting the inn since the 1980’s and it holds a special place in our hearts!

    The food is always excellent at Pour. The oysters, varied sushi options and poke tuna nachos are incredible appetizers. The vegetarian and meat lovers entrees are both delicious and healthy. The sophisticated wine options pair beautifully. The staff is attentive and friendly!

    One of the best fine dining restaurants in northern MI. The atmosphere, service, food, and staff are always impeccable. When my family desires to celebrate a milestone event, we always choose Walloon Lake Inn. We highly recommend this establishment for anyone who loves a delicious dinner with all the amenities. Walloon Lake Inn staff made us feel like they wanted us to be there, not like we were an imposition as some fine dining establishments do.
