Since we have personally eaten at these fantastic Michigan Restaurants, you can book your reservations with confidence! (and book early!)
1. Artisan Waterfront Restaurant and Tavern: Traverse City
If you are searching for an incredible meal, outstanding service and romantic ambiance, you must go to the Artisan Waterfront Restaurant located in the Delamar Hotel in Traverse City.
Above is the more casual side of the restaurant and behind the bar is a more intimate setting.
I absolutely had the best meal ever while spending a few days at their hotel this past fall. The chef prepares from-scratch meals that are to die for.
Oh and trust me...you absolutely must get desert.
I highly recommend spending the night at the Delamar Hotel, it's absolutely stunning. I have a ton of photos of the hotel and you will love it.
2. Gratzi: Midland Michigan (Incredible Italian)
Gratzi - 120 E Main St, Midland, MI
If you are looking for the perfect Italian meal, Gratzi is outstanding in the big three in my book: Service, food and atmosphere.
That's why we love dining here! It's a fantastic experience each time. Gratzi’s menu starts with antipasti and includes artisan meats and cheeses brought in from different parts of Italy.
There are lots of pasta entrees, one of our favorite is the "alfredo da tavola" as your server will wheel out a giant wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano to your table on a cart. Your server will then proceed to toss fresh al dente pasta and hot cream in the huge cheese wheel in front of you. Serious, how cool is that?
Oh, and the creme brulee is divine!
3. Cafe Zinc: Midland Michigan

We love dining at Real Seafood in Bay City Michigan. Not only do you get a great meal but the views of the Saginaw river are lovely.
