    I have always loved Funistrada, and this dinner, with six friends, was absolutely wonderful! I chose Funoistrada for my birthday dinner, because I knew they would all want to come! I highly recommend them

    This is our favorite restaurant in Traverse City and we always dine here for the special occasions in our life. All of their wait staff are awesome, but Mary is our favorite! If you’re looking for a wonderful experience, try The Boathouse….summer or winter!

    Artisans was not too busy on the weeknight we ate there, and that may have helped the level of service—excellent, and the nice quiet atmosphere. The food preparation and taste combinations are simply artistry on a plate. Unusual and yet delicious! Only thing that still needs to be fixed are the uncomfortable chairs, for smaller people, but at least they offer cushions now to help. A really special meal!
