The bread service was very good. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. My prime rib could have been warmer. The Calamari was fantastic.

Thanksgiving dinner was a plate dinner at Weathervane Restaurant. The salad was great, the turkey dinner was good. It is hard to replicate your Mom's turkey, dressing, and mashed potatoes you grew up with. The presentation for the pumpkin pie was in little aluminum foil "tart" pans. You had more crust and very little pumpkin pie filling. We had a wonderful table, and our server was excellent. We were not rushed, and were able to enjoy conversation with our adult kids.

Took my wife for our anniversary as this was one of the first nice restaurants I took her to when we were still dating 28 years ago. We were not disappointed, it has not changed over the years. Better ambiance in the summer but not bad even on a drizzly November evening next to the fireplace.

The best seafood chowder! We had an excellent salad, tomato soup, seafood choweder, french dip & a reuben. My husband and I shared everything and enjoyed the waterfront view. Mandy did an excellent job as our server. I'm glad we made a reservation, the group after us didn't and were told it would be a 25 minute wait. Charlevoix is a charming town and a beautiful fall destination. We'll be back!

This was, by far, my favorite dining experience in a long time!!! The food was AMAZING!! Several of us got the whitefish, one got the walleye and one the prime rib. Each dinner was outstanding. The Charlevoix-tini was one of the best martinis I have had. I had requested a window for the view and that is exactly what we got. I wanted to treat my friends to a classic Charlevoix dining experience and The Weathervane delivered!!!

We had a great experience here! The new menu had a nice variety, and the chef knocked it out of the park. Adding to our fun was our server, Mandy. She was efficient , knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor! We are locals and have been coming here for years. The Weathervane is back on our frequent flyer list!!
