Sage - Petoskey

I walked into the restaurant, which was completely empty, and requested a table. When asked if we had a reservation, I mentioned that we did not. The staff member informed us that they were extremely busy. I glanced behind him and remarked, "It doesn't look very busy to me." He then responded in a condescending tone, stating that they were waiting for many reservations. It was 8:30 and they were closing at 9, yet no one else arrived after us. Save your money and choose a place with better service.

I visited the restaurant on a Thursday night, when they offer a prime rib dinner for $22. The meal includes potatoes and a vegetable, and the prime rib was of excellent quality. My wife ordered the walleye and found it to be fantastic. On previous visits, she had the perch and enjoyed that as well. My sister-in-law, who is a local resident, also ordered the walleye and claimed it was the best she's had in the area.

As for the food, I had the beef crostini appetizer, which was outstanding, and the walleye, which was excellent and cooked perfectly. My husband had the New York strip with fries, and he enjoyed that as well. We also shared a bottle of wine.

It's Petoskey MI. You need to have realistic expectations lol. This place is good. The woman that's always our waitress is fantastic. She is always so sweet. It's a nice room. It's comped. What's not to like.

Always good food, book ahead on prime rib night for sure..
