Great outdoor seating overlooking the lake. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Our server was on the ball and very nice. The food wasn't as good as I was expecting for the price. Not terrible by any means but still not up to the standard I was expecting from this establishment. The fries that came with the lobster roll were cold when they arrived and I've had better oysters. All in all it's not a bad place to share an appetizer, have a drink, and enjoy the lake view.
A wonderful restaurant with fantastic indoor and outdoor seating! Both offer views of the harbor and boats.
We had reservations because we were a large group (eight adults) and they were incredibly accommodating and fast. Our server was prompt, attentive (without being too attentive), and friendly.
The table ordered a couple of appetizers. If you enjoy creamy spinach artichoke dip, do not pass on this opportunity. The oysters were also very good.
I tried one of their specials, it was essentially fish and chips but they had the specific fish in the name, and a glass of resiling. Both were good.
If we are ever in the area again, we would certainly stop again!
The staff was incredibly friendly, engaging, and accommodating. Every bite of the food was delicious, from start to finish. Also, the view is wonderful, and the interior decor was enjoyable as well.
The food is average, but the service and atmosphere is great.
One of our dishes came with fries, and as noted by another reviewer the fries tasted old.
There are several etiquette signs near the host stand when you first walk in the building which is very unwelcoming.
The bar is a great spot to grab a quick drink while you are waiting for your table to be ready.
What a great place to visit. One of the best restaurants in the area. We drove from boyne mountain to this place as we heard about it. We arrived At 8 pm and they were very busy Saturday night. They were able to seat us outside in a nice table with a great view. Our server Anna was more than great. Her smile and way of talking and explaining the menu was amazing. The food was great. I had the fish sandwich and was very good.
A must visit place.
Great food, and location! The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is a surcharge for using a credit card which I wasn't informed about until the bill arrived.
Fantastic lunch. Perfect for a decadent lunch - the Chowder was amazing, the escargot excellent, and, my wife liked everything she tried as well. A must hit on the water in Harbor Springs - we will definitely be back next time we're in town!
We got drinks here to enjoy on the pier. Delicious beverages, and great views of the harbor!
The food was delicious!
I had haddock and my partner had lobster carbonara.
Our waitress was very attentive.
The view is Great. Right on the water. I'm sure it's awesome to sit outside in warmer weather.
Visiting the area and decided to have dinner here. I had the surf and turf and it most definitely exceeded my expectations! The peanut butter pie was a wonderful addition to top it off. The wait staff was excellent and very accommodating and the view was spectacular. This is a must experience if you’re in The area and want a welcoming greeting and a wonderful dinner!!
Great service, great food. Scallops are great! To add to the review I would also recommend checking out the satellite bar (when open) while waiting for your table or even enjoying music in the park. Finish up your evening with a hummer or awesome coffee and/or peanut butter pie or the pretzel brownie sundae.
Wonderful atmosphere with incredible views in all seasons. Winter is slower and the views are great. The Pier Restaurant remodel is unique and creates intimate dining. Food is consistently great. Stafford's is a wonderful business that really cares about their clients and employees.
Meal was wonderful, after drinks at the outside bar, servers all friendly. The wait for a table was much longer than we were told, with lots of empty tables inside. On a Tuesday maybe a smaller staff working? We would have appreciated more accuracy, with the hosts at front giving different timelines.
We went to celebrate a special occasion. The atmosphere was really nice. The menu had some great items on it. I had the surf and turf - it was well cooked and a nice portion. The drinks were also good but a too expensive. I would recommend eating here for a special occasion. Would have gone for a full 5 stars but the service was lacking - the server was overwhelmed with a party of 10. Our food all came at different times and drinks were slow or forgotten.
