Take in Amazing Scenery in One-of-a-Kind Surroundings
Our dining room and covered terrace welcome diners in every season. From both areas, you can enjoy sweeping views of Little Traverse Bay beyond our meticulously landscaped grounds. We welcome parties of up to 8 guests on the terrace (adults only) and groups up to 12 in the dining room. In the summer, you might enjoy a fully alfresco dining experience on our garden patio featuring red wrought iron bistro tables. No matter where you choose to enjoy your meal, we want you to feel special throughout your dining experience. If there’s anything we can do to improve the experience, just ask us! We’re happy to offer extras for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events.

Mo and Patty Rave are the current owners of 1911 Restaurant and the Terrace Inn. They are passionate about preserving the unique legacy of the space that’s operated almost continually over the past 100+ years. However, they also bring their own modern vision with a staff boasting more than 75 years of combined industry experience.
With the creative touch of Chef Andy, 1911 Restaurant offers an amazing menu that changes with the seasons. Sourcing ingredients from local farms, fisheries, and bakeries—including Coveyou Scenic Farm Market, Bear Creek Organic Farms, Fustini’s Olive Oil, Dutch Oven Bakery, and Murdick’s Homemade Fudge & Ice Cream—our menu offers something to please any palate. We create everything from scratch and cook every dish to order. In addition, we’re pleased to cater to vegetarian and gluten-free diners. Many diners visit us seeking our freshly caught Hardwood Planked Whitefish, but you can’t go wrong with any entrée from our menu.
Find Your Perfect Dining Experience at 1911 Restaurant
Reservations are highly recommended for dinner service, especially during the summer season. However, you might join us for Happy Hour or cocktails and appetizers by the lobby fireplace or on our garden patio for a more casual experience on short notice. For an immersive dinner that will take you on a culinary journey, select our three-course Prix Fixe menu. This affordable yet elegant dining experience will let you enjoy the best flavors from our kitchen without having to choose from our extensive menu of tantalizing options.
