Best Lunch Restaurants in Maple City

The Reflex Bistro has a great menu and the quality of the food, it’s presentation, and level of service are remarkably consistent. I ordinarily presume that the food service at a hotel is something to avoid if one has the opportunity to explore the local fare, especially in a foodie town like Traverse City. That doesn’t hold here. I would rate the Reflex Bistro as one of the ten best restaurants in the region, if not in the top five. The walleye sandwich gets an A++ while everything else gets at least an A!

This is such a favorite for us! The students create delicious meals with creativity, presence and passion. Every bite is delicious and created as an edible symphony of flavors. They put so much of themselves into the menus they create, prepare and serve every single time. The restaurant location on Traverse Bay is breathtaking as well. I cannot say enough about this dining experience and the pride each student takes in this marvelous restaurant!

I have Celiac and don't always have confidence that our server understands and appreciates what I can or cannot eat. Melissa was WONDERFUL and I felt safe eating the options she helped me to select. Would definitely go back!

Excellent service by young man and our server. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch either of their names. Chicken chili is delicious with a southwest flair!

The view is what everybody comes for, and the sunset did not disappoint. We had the whitefish pate to start which was excellent and it had plenty of crackers and bread to enjoy. Our halibut dinner was delicious but the salmon was less than stellar. The salmon was very over cooked along with the rice pilaf. Very friendly and professional staff .
