There's something about late summer in Fennville. The produce is at its peak, the evenings are just starting to cool, and our kitchen's putting all of it to good use.
Right now, that means dishes built around what's actually in season. Pair it with something from the bar and you've got the whole picture.

Savor the way food's supposed to taste this time of year. Whether you're a regular or it's your first time through the door, there's a seat with your name on it.

Come taste the season with us. See you soon.
