The space is beautiful and we were sat immediately on a Sunday around 2. Service was very kind and attentive.
My partner had the Michigan blueberry pancakes with the seasonal smoked maple latte with oat milk. I had the smoked trout crepe with the same drink but hot.
They were both delicious! The drinks were just as good. I am not really a pancake lover, but that bite I tried was one of the best I’ve ever had. Balanced, not too sweet and the blueberries shine.
The smoked trout crepe and the hollandaise sauce with it was so flavorful and fresh. I felt like you can taste every ingredient in our dishes.
We’ll have to come by anytime we’re in the area again!
Unfortunately, our experience began on a frustrating note. We checked in a few minutes early, were told our table wasn’t ready, and were advised we’d receive a text when it was available. We enjoyed a lovely glass of Pinot Noir in the small bar and market area while we waited, but after 15 minutes past our reservation time, we checked back in only to be told our table was still occupied. We had made this reservation over six months in advance as our honeymoon dinner, so it was disappointing that no accommodation could be made. At the 30-minute mark, we were finally seated and, in our opinion, one of the senior waitstaff handled the situation with a level of arrogance that set the tone poorly. The hostess, however, was kind and understanding, which we appreciated.
Once seated, the food itself reminded us why Pennyroyal has such a reputation. We started with the poutine (with egg), poblano corn chowder, and tomato tart with garden salad and fennel. The tart and salad were the stars — perfectly balanced and beautifully executed. The chowder was a touch over-seasoned, and while the poutine was enjoyable, it lacked the depth or richness we’ve had elsewhere.
For entrées, we had the braised short ribs and the “ham” pork chop. The short ribs were cooked perfectly, though the flavor profile leaned more toward a summer barbecue than the deeper, wine-based preparation we prefer. The pickled crispy onions were unexpected but well-made. The pork chop, on the other hand, was outstanding — tender, flavorful, and complemented by creamy mashed potatoes and a delicious creamed spinach sauce. The carrots were slightly al dente for our taste, but overall, it was a beautiful and well-executed dish.
Overall: The food and setting at Pennyroyal are five-star worthy — thoughtful, seasonal, and beautifully presented. However, the lack of hospitality and inflexibility with our reservation diminished what could have been a perfect experience. Still, it’s a restaurant worth considering when in Saugatuck, especially if you appreciate creative cuisine and sustainable practices — just be prepared for a place that knows its worth.
This place has the kind of food that’s down to earth but somehow feels fancy! The atmosphere outside is peaceful with mature trees, string, lights, and tons of seating with beautiful live music and some areas are even covered! The inside feels cozy and warm. Everything has a modern new chic feel to it. My server was fantastic and I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for a fantastic lunch/brunch place!
This part of the review is a big heads up if you go, PLEASE be mindful and DRIVE SLOW through their parking. Is a gravel parking lot, I saw a lot of people hauling in and out, lifting this cloud of dust. Just think for a second if you would like that in your food! So slow down!!
Local owned, local food, highly recommended to try it!!!
