Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.

Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient to explain their Gluten Free bread, and homemade chips, etc for me. I'm actually asymptomatic celiac, but always state I have a "severe gluten allergy" when asking for assistance. They actually asked me when ordering/checking out, "preference or celiac?" So, I didn't ask for their safety procedures. I had a turkey Reuben with Cole slaw on it (substituting the Swiss for Havarti). It was fantastic! The meat is thinly sliced, and I prefer thicker slices, but it was so flavorful. They had 6" cherry or apple pies (in boxes), as well as some brownies and stuff. The cherry was delicious! Tart cherries, with a lovely crumble on top. It has roasted almonds in the crumble, and possibly slightly under the topping. Worth the stop!!! We were passing through town during their annual cherry festival.

Great service and atmosphere! The view was beautiful. Highly recommend joining the waitlist online- our wait was 80 min. on a Sunday evening. We joined the waitlist before we left our hotel and then spent some time at the outdoor bar listening to live music while we waited for our table which was wonderful. The food was good and it was nice to have gluten free options for my dietary needs. We would go back.

Prices were good, food and drinks were delicious and the portions were pretty substantial! My friend is gluten sensitive so we were very happy they had the GF Buckwheat crepes as an option. It was easy to take our leftovers to go in the paper sleeve. The patio seating area was so cute.

This lovely restaurant has become a go-to for us since discovering it during restaurant week several years ago. It has been a great place for me as someone with a significant gluten allergy. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff wonderful, and the food beautifully prepared and presented. Tonight, the food was still delicious, staff were still amazing, and the atmosphere still stunning— but the ratio of food to price and lack of options to bolster our meal with added sides left us sorely disappointed (this is coming from a TC native recently relocated to the Naples, Florida area— one of the highest priced places in Florida. Having dined at multiple places on 5th Avenue in Naples, we did not feel Artisan’s menu nor the prices were suited to TC.) We will have to find alternatives while in Traverse City as we left quite disappointed. (As an aside, my husband and I split everything we got, an appetizer [$18 for a bowl of soup] and scallops [3 medallions on a bed of beautifully crafted sauces and thinly sliced fruit for $46. No drinks or dessert.] We often share our food and never feel lacking.) If money to amount of food is not a concern to you, we most certainly recommend this restaurant.

A group of 12 of us walked in to Firefly restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, and even though we didn’t have a reservation, they sat us within 5 minutes of arriving. The service there was great, and they were very accommodating and helpful when I asked about gluten free options. While they do not have a gluten free menu, they had several meals that could be prepared gluten free, which I appreciated. Overall it was a nice meal for everyone, the atmosphere was fun, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend!

This place is amazing! The breakfast and pastries are definitely worth trying. I didn't even realize that my donut was gluten-free, it was so delicious. The coffee was also very well made, and the service was great. The small details, like turning the handle of the coffee cup when setting it down, show that the staff is highly trained and hospitable. Well done!

I love this location! Having celiac doesn’t allow me to eat out most places but I have never had an issue at this location. They always go in the back and get new utensils, clean the grill, and change gloves. They are very friendly and always complete our order quickly and with accuracy.

We just used Sugar 2 Salt to cater our daughter’s wedding. We could not be more thrilled with the service and food quality. We feel like shouting it from the roof tops. To start, the owner, Stephanie, was incredibly easy to work with. She listened to the ideas of our daughter and her partner but offered suggestions of her own to make the food experience truly spectacular. For instance, she suggested that we consider an oyster bar during the cocktail reception. This very reasonably priced addition was a huge hit. It added such a nice touch of elegance. When we asked about a late night snack for our guests she suggested that we serve it back at the resort where our guests were staying (rather than the wedding venue) and her team put together an impressive spread of pork sliders and truffle fries with loads of topping options. Our guests were so delighted when they arrived back at the resort and were greeted by this tasty feast. We also wanted to offer cherry pie as a dessert along with the wedding cake. No problem — S2S picked up and stored the pies and then placed a small slice together with each cake serving. Finally, and importantly, the food was delicious! Chef Jonathan created a fantastic dinner including a salad featuring apple cider poached pears and goat cheese, brisket with mushrooms and red wine pan jus as well as chimichurri, fish cakes with the most delightful tarragon aioli, roast vegetables and root vegetable gratin with crispy rainbow chard. We had several guests who consider themselves foodies and could not stop raving about how amazing all the food was. It was truly superb. Finally, S2S was very accommodating for those with dietary preferences, whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or lactose intolerant. Nothing was too difficult to handle. We cannot recommend S2S more highly to anyone looking for an event caterer. They definitely exceeded our high expectations and then some. Thank you S2S for your contributions to a magical affair!

Don't forget you can get ice cream to accompany whatever pie you like. Sooo worth it!!! Of course the pies are absolutely delicious! Lesser-known is that they have a lot of gluten-free options and their sandwiches and soups are also very good.

Great atmosphere. We had the buscuits and gravy and salmon Benedict. I was really excited they had gluten free English muffins and they were pretty good. The dirty chai tea latte was so good I got another one for the road. Kind of a bummer they charge $1.00 more for oat milk. Our server Kaitlyn was quick, friendly, and helpful. Would definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Tonight was my first experience at the Burrow TC. I asked the waitress for info on what menu options didn’t contain gluten and she couldn’t give me an answer. All she said was “we cannot accommodate celiacs” I have celiac disease so I made the decision to leave. She was unapologetic and it was a pretty awkward experience. I’ve never been turned away from a restaurant before.

If you wish to eat fresh, healthy prepared food you must visit. I'm vegan and gluten free and did find something to eat and did not become I'll after eating out due to numerous allergies and food intolerances . It's clean food, a rarity when one eats out. It's also a great place to support since they source their organic food locally. Only suggestion I could make is that they should offer brown rice.

My husband and I enjoyed breakfast at NoBo Mrkt and it was so yummy!! We both got the breakfast hash with sausage and a coffee each. We are gluten free and the menu was very clear concerning allergens, which is very important to us. The service was quick and friendly. This is such a cute, trendy place that would be fun to get a cocktail at in the evening.
