Not only is the Riverside Inn becoming well known for its fantastic menu, often featuring local farm-to-table foods, but they also have a fabulous bar featuring many Michigan beers, local wines, and spirits. They are situated right on the Leland River, so eat on the deck if there is room. Reservations strongly recommended!
