Poppycocks

This place offers very well prepared takes on a diversity of signature dishes that you will find at various fine dining Americana restaurants around the country. It has a New Orleans vibe and offers mellow jazz in the background. The energy of the patrons is high level as all appear to be enjoying the atmosphere, the quality food, the well made craft cocktails, and the enjoyable selection of locally brewed beers that they have on tap. The service is very friendly and interact with you frequently to ensure that you are enjoying your experience. The food is not only very tasty but the presentation is beautiful. The only disappointment is that the portions served were a bit modest to sate the ravenous appetite that the taste and presentation initially create. For our visit this time we thoroughly enjoyed the lamb ragout and the shrimp & grits

This is a really fun restaurant with peppy, but not too loud music, and bright artwork adorning the walls. The staff were beyond friendly and absolutely made us feel welcome. The food - OMG, the food! Everything was amazing! The pita chips were the best we’ve ever had! The tomato spinach soup lived up to the hype it has in the other reviews. The key lime shrimp pasta was surprisingly light and delicious. We need the night with the Chocolate Oblivion and it was decadent! Just a fantastic night! Please make this restaurant a priority visit when you are in Traverse City, you will not be disappointed!

Wow! Blown away! So, my husband and I decided to try and walk in for dinner since it was late evening on a Sunday. This place was PACKED, but the food and desserts when I peaked in looked like it was worth the hour wait. We didn’t wait more than 4 minutes when the host said “We can get you in now!” 🥳 Every single employee in that place was running and they worked so efficiently together, and I was so impressed! I was positioned in the restaurant to see the servers and bartenders and hostess making desserts and busting tables LIKE A BOSS! 😎 The food took a little wait after we ordered, but for obvious reasons. No complaints! The server kept our waters and drinks topped off. I also had noticed chocolate cake in the display and asked to grab it ahead of time (and he boxed it up for me right away!) the salmon dish was bursting with flavor, great spice, and the feta made it creamy, the fish portion size was large - 💯 amazing. My husband ordered the Pork Ribeye and it was tender and juicy. He didn’t love the pistachio sauce, but otherwise enjoyed his dish. The pinot Grigio was fabulous…. And the chocolate cake- WORTH IT!!! 😋
