Weathervane Restaurant

What a delightful culinary experience you'll not want to miss we during a visit to Charlevoix! We made reservations (recommended) and were treated to a waterfront table with a great view of boat traffic sailing under the drawbridge. The historic boulder stonework and fireplace added to the bright and festive dining atmosphere. They have an extensive cocktail and wine selection of which we took great advantage of! We leisurely dined on shrimp cocktail appetizers, lobster roll and whitefish dinners, and topped it off the evening with an incredible dessert and specialty coffee. The service was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this dining venue for anyone travelling through the Charlevoix, Mi area.

I believe in being honest and offering help where I can. Now, in no way, shape or form is this a negative review, just a few observations as i see them. For having THE premier spot for being the best restaurant in town, a couple of things just fell a little flat for me. Walking in, it looked a little dated, not untidy, dirty or unkept, just complacent. You can tell it's been here for a while. I ordered the Shrimp Pappardelle, and added the sautéed morel mushrooms. It was a good dish, the pasta was very tender, but not over done, the shrimp were good sized and cooked perfectly and the roasted tomatoes were excellent. But for a small $38 plate of pasta, three shrimp was a disappointment. Now, maybe it's because I live on the gulf coast where 6 shrimp is the minimum, and maybe I'm just spo

The atmosphere and service here can’t be beat. A lovely place to have a meal and watch the boats pass under the bridge. Drinks were delicious (limoncello gin fizz and a strawberry wine spritz). Both were refreshing and not sweet- perfect. Our salads (Caesar and house) were fresh and the homemade Caesar dressing was great. My husband enjoyed the prime rib and although my whitefish was a bit dry and overcooked it was still an enjoyable meal overall. We would definitely go back.

5:30 reservations for 2 Valentine’s Day. After a very brief wait in the bar, we were seated. Nice 4-top near the window. Server was a bit abrupt approaching our table, asking if we were ready to order. Took our order for Whitefish dish and Sea Bass Valentine’s Day special. I was ready for another drink, but wasn’t asked if I’d like one before dinner was presented to us. My wife was served my shrimp appetizer which was only fair in taste. Then, she was served my salad which was room temperature, not cold. My Sea Bass was not fully cooked, it was translucent. Server was very busy and did not check back. Desert was server without my wife being asked if she’d like a desert as well, so she didn’t order one. Overall, service wasn’t what we expected. Food was fair. Carpeting was nice. But, I lik

The restaurant has a great view from the patio. The menu offered variety and the food was delicious. We and our teenager daughters enjoyed it! One daughter left her D&D dice behind. When we returned the staff searched high and low and they were found. We highly recommend this place.
