Dockside Inn - Cadillac

The type of place you go to over and over, just to try everything on the menu. The signature stuffed chicken was amazing! Beautiful deck right on the lake.

First off, excellent location, right on Lake Cadillac, and convenient to the Lake Cadillac Resort, if you're staying there. If you can score a table outside, go for it. We ordered a variety of starters instead of main courses. I thought everything was excellent, but my wife was a bit meh about some of it. So we'll go with my take....the bruschetta was very tasty. It was a bit unusual with the balsamic glaze drizzle, but i thoroughly enjoyed it... The naan chips with hummus was great too. In fact, that was some of the best naan bread we ever had...kudos to the chef on that one! We also got the Margherita flatbread which was excellent and tasty. Despite it being a bit pricey, our food was high quality, and not your standard issue Northwoods fare. We had leftovers, which was part of our dinner later that evening, so it worked out.

Went there for a very special dinner with 4 other guests for a 50th anniversary. The 1st thing I ordered they were out of. So I ordered something else. They were out of that too. Ordered a 3rd thing and server came back to tell me they were out of it also. Fourth time was a charm . When I got my ribs they were good but lacking in sauce. My husband ordered the walleye. He couldn 't eat it. Too fishy. To top it all off, we got charged for one of the items they didn 't have. I don 't blame the server, except for the extra charge. But this was 5pm. How can they be out of 3 items? This is an upscale restaurant. We thought so anyway. Very disappointing to say the least.

Great meal. We had burgers. The value was incredible. I highly recommend it!

Found this gem driving back from Manistee. Actually turned around to go back. The server let us know that they had a party upstairs and she would get to us shortly but took our drink and appetizers orders. We sat out on the deck facing Cadillac Lake, so the atmosphere was fantastic. Food a little pricey but was very good. Overall it is a good place to relax and enjoy the day and good food. If we travel that way again, it will be a stop we make.
