Restaurants & Wine Bars???

Still looking for great restaurant ideas, so far I have Everyday People Cafe for dinner and Pumpernickel%26#39;s for breakfast and lunch.

There appear to be 2 winery owned tasting rooms, Fenn ?? and Taber; has anyone been to these and do they serve any wines in addition to their own? Any wine bars in Saugatuck?

Michigan liquor laws are a bit conservative. Winery tasting rooms can only sample their own wines and wine shops aren%26#39;t allowed to sample at all.

There are 10-15 wineries within an hour%26#39;s drive of Saugatuck, it%26#39;s fun to tour around. Award winning Reislings and other whites do best but the reds are coming along. Tabor Hill winery has an excellent restaurant too.

No wine bars in the area but great selections can be found at Everyday People, Marro%26#39;s, Clearbrook and Butch%26#39;s in Holland.

Other restaurants to consider, Ida Red%26#39;s for breakfast or lunch....Journeyman in Fennville (recently recognized by Gourmet magazine)...Phil%26#39;s in downtown Saugatuck has good food and a great vibe.

Regarding the Journeyman restaurant. Last year , 2007, I was pretty delighted by its faire...wonderful, delicious, truly excellent food..But alas...it has lost its magic..

Recently they opened a new wine bar and extended the restaurant and the food we ate the last time we were there was not good. They had skimped on the amount of meat on the pizzas, and I ordered over medium eggs for the brunch, but they came back so uncooked that even the whites werent cooked. It was awful. The sourdough toast was burned and the eggs were almost raw. For the price, which is exorbitant, the food isnt worth it. I wont be going there again. I know that the economy is in the toilet right now, but that is no excuse to skimp on the food, especially for such high prices. I will go to Grasscup restaurant near Holland if I need a night out. The food there is always prepared with care.
