Restaurants near Little Traverse Historical Museum

I’m sure when I make reservations through OT that I will get a poor table location. What gives? First table a six top for two people, right inside the door! It was a cold blustery night in Northern Michigan. So this table guaranteed food getting cold quickly, which I despise. Second table a duce right next to the bathrooms 😕. I could tell we weren’t going to win. Our waiter was very good however with timing, explanations, follow-up, even a little humor and respected our requests. We have eaten here before when attending a function at t(e Great Lakes Center for the Arts, and in the past the chefs menu items seem to over spice it up. Which we don’t like spices with a lot of heat so it was a little difficult to pick something without putting something on the side or leaving it off our meal choice. Which can be difficult in the kitchen. So with all this said our choices were both very good. I had the Cashew Halibut 8oz with Caribbean spiced cashews on the side, and my husband had the Wague Hamburger. The odd thing is that prices are fairly steep, and “nothing comes with the entree”. So we ordered a Nomads Caesar Salad (which could have fed us and the table next to us), however it was very good for $20. I would have preferred a smaller size salad and a vegetable added to my meal even it it was four long green beans. My husband’s hamburger was huge. A double smash with lots of pepper bacon, and a sunnyside up egg served open faced also served by itself not even a pickle😉. Both meals were too big for us to finish, and we ended up taking some home. Which I would rather not because it’s unusual for restaurant food to be as good the second time around. Knowing what we now know when we try Nomads again we will order one entree and a salad to share. I do recommend Nomads even though the choices are few, a little steep and remember it’s not a la carte it’s just different.

Food, wine and service were fabulous. Special shout outs for Heidi our server and the great bottle of amarone!

Quiet ambiance (winter evening with the fireplace), service attentive and food delicious. Wonderful evening.

Dawn was out server and she made sure our evening was wonderful!

The food is always excellent at Pour. The oysters, varied sushi options and poke tuna nachos are incredible appetizers. The vegetarian and meat lovers entrees are both delicious and healthy. The sophisticated wine options pair beautifully. The staff is attentive and friendly!
