Some favorites never go out of style. Our Parmesan Whitefish has been a longtime favorite on Harrington’s dinner menu, and one look at this plate might explain why.

Parmesan-crusted whitefish served over creamy Boursin mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, topped with an heirloom tomato, basil purée, and balsamic reduction.

Beautifully presented, full of flavor, and even better enjoyed with a view of West Grand Traverse Bay.

Carrot Cake. Beautiful layers of spiced carrot cake and cream cheese frosting, because sometimes the correct answer is simply: order dessert. Pair it with a cup of coffee, share it with someone at the table, or (our suggestion) make absolutely no promises about sharing.

And yes, before posting, we conducted a thorough investigation and can confirm: this is, in fact, the Carrot Cake. Some of y'all were paying attention yesterday and noticed the photo did NOT match the description. (Don't worry, we left the post up for you to see for yourself. Here we are, being human and stuff 😉)

Come see us at Harrington's. Dessert is waiting.
