- BBrittanyNorthern Michigan / Upper Peninsula •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoHad 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!More infoArtisan - Traverse CityPrice: Expensive• American• Traverse City•4.7

- TTrevorDetroit / Eastern Michigan •2 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 28, 2024We 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.More infoAerie Restaurant & LoungePrice: Very Expensive• American• Acme•4.3

Discover Northern Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a heavily forested region rich in game. This area features plenty of outdoor activities and a short but produce-rich summer season. Multiple wineries dot Northern Michigan, offering tastings and dining options paired with the intense and fruity wines made from short-season grapes. Freshwater fish, both cooked and smoked, are abundant and prepared to perfection. Fans of craft beer will enjoy both the beverages and the views of the surrounding lakes in the gorgeous country north of Lake Michigan. If the chill is hard to shake, you can warm things up in Marquette with a Cajun dinner. Be sure to save room for dessert. The Upper Peninsula is rich with wild berries, and you can't leave without trying some pie!
