The food and wait staff service here are excellent. However, do not question the owner about wine knowledge as she will bite your head off if you assert any of your knowledge. She was totally dismissive of natural wines and orange wine, both very popular now and much is written about them. The food is wonderful and worth going there for. Ditto on the wait staff. The owner should stay in the back. 🙂

What a gem to find up here in Northern Michigan! The food was divine with amazing layered flavors, better than most restaurants we go to in Chicago . The owner helped us pick the perfect wine and taught a few things too. The atmosphere was warm and quaint, a perfect dinner for the holidays!

At least during the off season, if not year round, the Rowe features a great brunch deal: $25/person for a three course meal.
My wife and I went and, after drinks and desert, got out of there for $90.
The food was outstanding, the service was attentive with out pestering, and the presentation superb. While I’m usually one to dive into my plate, I held off for a moment to appreciate how the food was served- cool!
Worth a stop, but you might want to skip the latte’s the week before to save up for it.

First visit, nice. second visit bad service, third, over garlic ruined our meals. Never going back. If they don’t like you, you’re treated poorly. How sad and waist of money. It was insulting. Glad to be done. Took for ever to be waited on. Was happy to leave and be done trying.

Haven’t been to The Rowe Inn in many years. Always made it a point to eat there when we went up north. My husband, Norm Baylis, was a fan of sweet Annie, who was an outstanding wait-person! The whole crew was the best, and the food was done to perfection. This place is one of the best in Michigan! Have had trouble remembering the name of this little town and the name of restaurant. After a lot of searching, I found it and next time I go north, I will stop in for another great meal!! Everyone should make a point to stop for quite the eating experience at The Rowe!

Loved this place. Excellent service and amazing food. The bartender paired wine with our courses and did a fantastic job. She was extremely knowledgeable about the wines. Very friendly place, met some fun people as well

This was a wonderful find. It was indeed fine dining with a wonderful atmosphere. The wine list was all inconpessing with a wonderful Italian section.
The food was perfect with special attention to the sauces, soups, and presentation. It could not have been better!

We had a wonderful dinner last night! The morel soup was absolutely delicious. The duck confit was extremely flavorful and moist. The new chef is fantastic! Thank you for a great evening!

8/26/17. Food was average. Walleye was good piece of fish, however, bland. Would not order again. Service was “okay”, I would expect better. Bread tasted old/stale. Had to wait long time for coffee too for such a small
Restaurant. I won’t likely return. Will go to Siren Hall in Elk Rapids.
