Excellent food, but service was slow. While they were busy, to wait over 10 minutes to even be acknowledged at the table is to long. Additionally a salad was brought at the same time as the entree and when this was mentioned we were simply told, ‘we are busy’. I do have to say the food was outstanding, but to not be greeted or advised from the beginning their would be delays, is simply poor service.

Gorgeous but cool evening. Had to wait 35 minutes to be seated from our reservation. Asked about shutting the window upstairs and was told probably no it so we moved to a table away from the wind. Then the window was shut for the next table that sat there. Oh well. Still live Notos at Bil Mar.

Severely understaffed. Never delivered our appetizer. Took 1:30 to get food. Never checked back for drinks. Most of the food was very good. Deserts were the best. Great view, but too loud to talk. If you want just to hang at the bar, it would be fun. Dinner is a no go. Maybe would be better during the week. Too bad. I was really hoping this could be a go to.

One of our favorite, go to restaurants in Grand Haven. Right on the beach with beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Food is always great there. Wife had the fillet and it was prepared perfectly. I had the Shrimp and Scallop pasta. My 2nd time, and it did not disappoint. We polished it off by sharing their Chocolate Hazelnut Tart and coffee. Just enough to finish a great afternoon of food and fun with friends. Highly recommend spending time at Noto's!

We had a party of six at 5 pm on Saturday, May 7. It was the first time for all of us at Noto's at the BilMar. The restaurant is beautiful and so is the view of Lake Michigan. The only complaint would be that the sun shone brightly (and warmly) on us during our meal. At least two in our party were uncomfortable because of that. It would be nice if some type of curtain or screen was available to blunt the sun. Otherwise, it was quite excellent.

Anniversary put that in reservation it was not acknowledged Asked waitress about wine selection and she knew nothing about wine. So she asked bar tender and the wine I wanted was exactly what I wanted but they were out unless I wanted to order a bottle and they normally sell by the glass? If you have a bottle your not out??? Food was good presentation was excellent but pricy. Waitress was good other than never filled water. Every glass empty on table had to ask.

We come here quite often and last night it was very busy which was good. Our server, however did not pay hardly any attention to us at all. Someone else brought our order which was wrong. She never came back to our table to check on us so I went up to the bar to ask for condiments. She was just standing by the bar. She told us she had only been there 5 days. I would think they would at least train new staff to check to see if the order came to the table correct. I asked for sweet potato fries and got regular and my fiance' never got steak sauce because she didn't come . I am hoping it is just a one time thing. Generally Noto's is a great place to eat and watch the waves on Lake Michigan

I wish I could tell you more about the food but we never got a chance to enjoy it. We drove 45 minutes one-way to enjoy a nice dinner on the Lakeshore only to find out that they had seriously over booked reservations for the evening. Even though we arrived on time (7:30pm) we were told it would probably be another hour for a table. So we went somewhere else and not sure if we will come back.

Came in from out of town. Made a reservation a week in advance because a year earlier we were told we needed a reservation. Got confirmation the day of reservation. Go in and was told they overbooked and they can’t give me a time when my table will be ready. I didn’t even want to give it 1 star, we tried twice at this restaurant and both times unsuccessful. Will never try again. Very disappointed

We chose Bil Mar for the view. Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait 45 minutes for our table due to overbooking. Most of the food was great, but the pizza tasted and looked like it had been sitting out of the oven for a while. Our server was very friendly.

Restaurant was very busy, loud and appeared to be short staffed. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time. Once seated our server was prompt, friendly and did a great job. Overall it was a great experience. Worst part was the noise level. It was very hard to carry on a conversation without yelling.
