Best Restaurants for Groups in Bay City

We haven’t been to this location since it was Pieces of Eight back in the 80!s. Harbor House is such a great reimagining of the space. The decore and layout is elegant and energetic with the open kitchen concept well executed. Service was above and beyond, with the kitchen and staff offering to make a perfectly executed off-menu item (shrimp alfredo) for my daughter on a busy Saturday night. I asked for a menu change as well, and they happily agreed. The food was all A+, with all 6 people greatly enjoying their meals and wine selections.

Service and attention toward diners was exceptional. Very comfortable and warm atmosphere to enjoy a high end dinner. Menu offered many terrific options and portions were sizeable, and tasted even better.

We had a friends dinner with 6 of us last night at North Star American Bistro, and it was lovely. The service was prompt, friendly and attentive but not hovering. All six of us enjoyed our meals. They were delicious and beautifully presented. I gave them 1 less star on value, because it was a little expensive, but all restaurants are now days. And it was a full house, so it was a little loud, but still possible to carry on a nice conversation without shouting. All in all a good experience, and we will go again.

This was our first time at Cafe Manna and it was amazing because of the delicious food and service. My wife had a salad, crab cakes, chocolate with strawberry sauce, and a hot ginger tea. I had a bowl of chili, crab cakes, chocolate with a strawberry sauce with a hibiscus ice tea. The chili was so good that I bought a bowl to take home as a take out. We plan on coming back to Cafe Manna.

Great beers, good food and unique set up. Worth the drive. Bar staff were slow to acknowledge and serve but overall, really good.
