Reviews of Grey Gables Inn Restaurant (Catering)

Cindy Webb

The drinks were amazing, as were the appetizers. The main entree, however, was heavily salted. Both our dinners were covered in the same sauce which was much too salty. The scones are handmade by the owner, and are delicious. Would go back, but would try going for lunch.

Karrie Kolb

Always delicious!

Eric Anderson

Nice place to dine. Comfy, but food is nothing special. Ordinary in that respect.

Skip Radel

Food was terrific.Server Pam was awesome

Chris K

Another super experience at Grey Gables. Highlight was the Scallops with Bacon Jelly. I guess bacon truly does make everything better

Erin Bemis

Our favorite restaurant in the region. Truly become family when you’re a repeat customer. Awesome local deals in the off season, amazing farm fresh options year round. Can’t say enough amazing things.

They ran out of steak on Thursday steak night and didn't offer a subsitute. Go before 6 for the 2 for $48. A good place

David Richardson

Great place to grab dinner when you are in town. Bar side is more casual, buy has the full menu. Dining room side is a little more quiet, but still lovely. Mushroom soup is delicious. I also has a duck breast special with creamy polenta. I only had club soda and with tip came to just over $40. Great value.

doug campbell

Woody Brzak

Went on 4/19/18 found long brown/blonde hair in food. Waiter (Jay) took hair . He later brought bill( full price). We asked about the hair in my food. Said no one except bartender has hair like that. Manager never came to table at apologize for the long hair in my dinner. Very sad that manager would not take the time ( not busy at all) to talk to us . Very poor management- stay away unless you like hair in your food

Jennifer LaBleu

Love it their seafood dip is to die for love it.

Branden Dillon

The food is thoughtful and delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. Most of the staff is friendly and polite but a few of them seem like they would better suited at a truck-stop diner, which sounds terrible but actually adds a welcomed touch of hominess to the bar. For best results, call and make a reservation. My only complaint is that I have frequently come in around 8:45pm for a drink and appetizer/etc only to be told that the kitchen is closed (hours say 9pm).

Kevin Goddard

Great food; Sea Bass and Filet. Good service. Adult beverages to icy.

Katie Goshert

The calamari is amazing!!! The desserts divine. The cabbage veggie on the side was not that good, but other than that a great meal and great service! Be prepared to spend quite a bit for the entree, but it is delicious!

sam knutson

I go three or four times a year and it's always perfect.

Anya K

Food was good, however service at the bar area was not. The server ignored us several times.

Amber Skutt

Food is great and so are the people

DAVE ANDERSON

Tuesday night Burgers rock!

ssgtmlthomas .

Great food and service. The Asian Calamari is the best item on the menu in my opinion.

Christopher Jones

The pot roast hits the spot, especially this time of year. (Winter)

John Gray

Very quaint and relaxing atmosphere, outstanding service, excellent food, anyone visiting Charlevoix should go to this off the main drag restaurant, I highly recommend it

Brian Hater

Everything is good here. Best prime rib anywhere. Great classic style restaurant. Be dressy or be casual. Good for everyone.

Keith Bailey

I love a place where year after year you can count on seeing the same fabulous servers and consistently excellent food. My favorite, the Salmon, delicious! Cheers!

jeri murphy

Easter Brunch was so sad this year, everything was cold and it was like they just warmed it up from GFS. Very Disappointing

Richard Taylor

The food is outstanding, complemented by excellent service.

ryan rochford

We booked Grey Gables for our wedding. We sampled food at their restaurant, the chicken in the tomato cream sauce was amazing, beef was outstanding as well. At the wedding itself the food was as advertised. The staff was professional, everything was on time, what more could you ask for!? We would recommend them to anyone looking for catering up north, including friends and family.

Vera Tilmann

Food was excellent, but asked for a table in a room that was not so Noisy. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY ON A CONVERSATION! WE WERE TOLD NO SINCE WE HAD NOT made reservations. Yet there was all kinds of space to eat where it was not so Loud!!!! I WON'T be returning, even though the food was wonderful.

Charlie Sullivan

Great Place to Drink or Dine

Jill Nussel

Hotel/condos were great, front desk staff was really nice. Just the Housekeeping was odd. After first night, they made up one room, but didn't touch the other room. After the second night, they made up the second room, pulled up the sheets in the first bedroom, but left the spread on the floor. We had to ask for coffee every day. But overall, I'd stay there again.

Robert Self

Wow, wow, WOW. Grey Gables catered our wedding and from the get-go, they were prompt to return my emails and accommodate my every request (I was very particular about a lot of items). The steak for 170 guests was cooked Medium-rare to perfection (exactly as requested). The food was warm as they used warmed plates, the service was impeccable and their bartending service was surely some of the best of Northern Michigan wedding caterers. We had a "His" and "Hers" cocktail both with specific ingredients as well as recipes. Grey Gables was able to make these with ease along with an extensive cocktail menu that we provided beforehand that we wanted guests to be able to order. They showed up on time and were setup early, ready to go with restaurant level service and bartending. If you want the best wedding food and bartending you can get, this is it. They are able to execute on specific requests and for their service, the price gives you great value. I expected a lot from them, and they exceeded my expectations. It's difficult to serve 170 people in a timely manner with delicious food and drinks, but Grey Gables is definitely a team you can trust to get it done!

Frank Conner

Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Good food.

Ronald Simpson

Burger and a beer or two. Very very good.

Amyjo Terry

Lovely venue, a gorgeous old Victorian home. Thick layer of ice on the walkway to the restaurant made us a bit nervous approaching the restaurant. Service was wonderful. Food was good, but nothing special.

Amy Moore

The waiter rushed us in making both drink decisions- and dinner choices. He seemed barely tolerate of questions about the menu and was not at all friendly or engaging. The bread basket was comprised of very low quality white bread and some sweet scone-like biscuits--- quite unsatisfying. This restaurant most definitely did not live up to other reviews and was not worth the prices -- Will not return.

mark elliott

Never again, waste of time and money

Anthony Pinto

Great little restaurant and bar off the main strip in town. Food and service were spectacular. Staff went out of their way to ensure a wonderful dining experience. Filet and Hanger steak were tastey and prepared as requested. Desert selection was yummy and finished the meal perfectly. Pricy but worth it.

Debbie Allensworth

Wonderful dinner at this restaurant. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and food was amazing

Mark Worthley

Not the best.

Kathy Grech

Tuesday burger and beer is all kinds of AWESOME!!! Going back next Tuesday!

Natalia M

Unique dining experience. Great for special occasions. Great food (love the hanger steak!) And the bread basket comes with scones!

Jim Jannausch

Revolution Bike

Awesome place for a beer and burger.

Danny Slim

Great atmosphere and super friendly service

Michael Richman

Great meal tonight!

Shawn Pertunen

Sadly not a good meal. Salmon was overcooked and dry. Lovely ambiance. Waiter forgot my wine twice. Go when it is not busy and avoid fish. Our other diners loved the prime rib and lamb shank.

Zach Hansen

We hired Grey Gables to cater our wedding at Castle Farms. We went with the combination plate of beef and chicken. All of our guests said the food was wonderful (and we thought so too!). Leading up to the wedding communication was prompt, clear, and helpful. Katie answered all of our questions well and was willing to work with us to make small changes to the contract close to the wedding (updated guest count, removal of services, adding of others, etc.). We live about 4 hours away so email contact worked best for us and they always responded with what we needed. During the event the staff was efficient and nearly invisible (in the good way). The only time they asked for any of our attention on the day of was when they were floating to make sure everything was going smoothly and happened to catch the glance of the groom. They thought the glance meant we needed something and immediately came over to the head table to check. It turned out that we didn't but it demonstrates just how on top of the event they were. During last call the bartender came up to us and made sure that we didn't need anything before they left, which was also a great demonstration of how hard they were working to make sure we were taken care of. We would happily recommend Grey Gables to anyone looking for a caterer with great food and service! (Especially at Castle Farms because they seem to know the venue inside and out.)

Trevor Martin

Fantastic meal Had the special - 2 salads, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine for $48. Outstanding value.

Ted Dixon

This is THE place to eat if going to Northern Michigan in Charlevoix. Great service, excellent food, and excellent ambiance. Must visit.

Steve Clark

Always a good meal. Could eat here all week long. Just saying.

Lizzer Graham

The best bread pudding I’ve ever had.

frank wyglendowski

Great food and very good service and a very nice drink selection

Ray Terwilliger

Food was ok for the money. I was expecting more of that wow factor you know.. Chairs in the porch seating area were uncomfortable. Both my wife and I commented our butts were sore by the end of dinner. Their on line menu showed prime rib & oysters on the half shell for Saturday night both were unavailable at 7:00 pm. Oh.. the men's bathroom stall doesn't have a door.. umm.. veryy awkward when someone walks in (the bathroom door has no lock.) With that said the service was very good.

Alice Sharrow

Wonderful.

Karen Meyer

I remember eating here a long time ago. Superb.

Shaun Bloem

Very good dining experience. Wonderful waitstaff and beautiful restaurant.

Ellie Heethuis

Very yummy. High quality food

Lara Moore

One of our "must visits" when on vacation. The food is always fantastic and Pam is the bomb! The prime rib is excellent and we always call in advance to reserve a cut to the temperature we enjoy. Beet salad is delicious as are the scallops. You really can't go wrong. Only suggestion would be to change the menu description of the pasta bolognese. It stated the noodles were pappardelle but brought out corkscrew pasta. They quickly returned with a different dish of our choice without a fuss. Quaint setting.

Michael Fedrigo

My wife and I tried different whitefish plates. The best ever! We also tried the mushroom soup, which is amazingly rich and beefy. You won't have better anywhere.

Deano Drost

Great dinner!

Kenneth Woodham

Quaint nice atmosphere. Food and service real good.

Paul Rajewski

James Kennedy

Very unassuming from the outside, pleasant on the inside. The ribs were simply outstanding and desert was incredible.

Linda Boss

The whitefish with lemon caper sauce is the best...anywhere! This is our go-to place for any special occassions, or just because. We LOVE it!!

Kristin Hoaglund

Lived in Boyne City for 24yrs and have never been here. Loved, loved LOVED my dinner. My husband's was FANTASTIC!! His salmon was not fishy, couldn't even tell that it was salmon. Waitress Erin was the kind of waitress you always want!!! It's now on our rotation to revisit..often.

Charleen Epperson

Food and service were great, however, the restaurant is not friendly towards handicap people. We went and my sister had her oxygen tank with her. No easy entrance to the inside made it difficult for her. Do not recommend it for handicapped people.

Connie Frisbey

Great Food And Service!

Matt Henderson

A great restaurant in an old house. My mom had the ribs, a huge plate that I had to help her eat. I'm not a rib guy, but they were great, the BBQ sauce had a nice kick. The ribs came with some great fries and a vegetable which was green beans & carrots. I ordered the Sea Scallops, which I recieved 3 huge ones, very tasty and cooked just right. The dish came with a very tasty bacon jam & cheesy polenta. I also ordered the grilled brussel sprouts, that I'll definitely order next time I eat there.

Forrest Marble

Great food and service

James Bemis

Andrew Kadish

Very good restaurant. The server I think his name was Kenroy was fantastic. The food was the best I've had in Charlevoix. The older building it is set in is a beautiful setting for the restaurant. Also, they do catering and i have heard that it is amazing. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Sam Sniderman

The service and food over the years is consistently top shelf.

Caroline Desch
