Restaurants near The Rockwell Lake Lodge, A Cobblestone Hotel

Wow... what a transformation! I had not visited Hotel Delamar and Artisan restaurant since it was the dumpy Holiday Inn. The hotel is beautiful. Artisan really came through! The decor is sophisticated but inviting, the fireplaces roaring, our view pleasant. The food is quite good.... the service made the experience! Melissa took care of us. She was knowledgable, made some smart suggestions and paced things perfectly. The kitchen also split our apps. I especially liked the cacio pepe salad... my dining partner enjoyed the roasted squash app. We both had the filet with a bit too heavy (for me) sauce. Loved the pave' potatoes. Nick the manager checked on us regularly and kindly showed us the pool and 'igloos'.... One more great addition to the Traverse City dining scene!

Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, good cocktails

It's a teaching restaurant, so allow 1 ½ hrs for lunch and more for dinner. Classic choices such as the beef bourguignon entree and the soup of Shredded Chicken with fennel and a hint of star anise were very good. No time today to linger for deserts which are superb. Pastry Chef Megan is a pro. Merrill at the bar always has a fun delicious special drink, plus the standard classic cocktails. It's nice to see they now offer a better range of Non-area wines , as well as local wines to please visitors. Wine choices are 8 or so of both whites and reds. Best view of the bay, even on a very snowy day. Beautiful setting.

We enjoyed our thanksgiving dinner today and plan to come back for Christmas dinner also. Server was great and the atmosphere was great.

The food and service was nice. We would return again. It was loud due to a unhappy little toddler, but that wasn't the fault of the restaurant. You couldn't hear the conversation between us at our table, which was disappointing, because of the little child...
