    As always everything was outstanding. My out-of-town guest loved the area, the food and the lovely view down to the river and covered bridge. I had requested Maya for our service and she was excellent. Thank you for allowing me choose her. Our only negative (hence 4 stars) was the noise level. A table not too far away was so noisy we had to almost yell to hear each other. Of course, the louder others become the louder everything becomes. That is absolutely my only complaint.

    Wow! Talk about a hidden gem. We happened on Trovato while perusing Open Table for a nice place to eat near Mackinaw City. We were amazed as we turned into the at the beauty of Hidden River Golf & Casting Club. Once inside, the facility was just as beautiful, overlooking the Hidden River and the 18th green. The food was amazing, Chef Dean’s specials were spectacular. And the desert options were incredible. We will make a point to visit every time we are in the area.

    Beautiful setting and very good food overall. Unfortunately like so many other places in this part of Michigan, this restaurant is facing staffing issues - which impacted the food (not warm) and speed of service. We also got mosquito bitten and suggested that they install some candles or find some other ways to minimize the inconvenience. But overall, this place has a lot of potential. I’d go back.

    Staff were exceptional, greeting, wait staff and management. They all worked very well together to insure we had a wonderful dinning experience. The food was excellent, timing of the courses brought to the table and the presentation were well thought out. The ambience and the view of the river…. Exquisite!! We will be back and will share our experience with friends.

    Creative and delicious menu options. Would love to see local fresh fish offered instead of shrimp, scallops and Branzino. Expensive, so definitely a special occasion night out.
