We had a wonderful dinner last night at Trovato! Our server,Tom was outstanding along with his assistants and other staff. This was our second time dining there this summer season and both times were great. We were a party of eight and everybody loved their meal. The asparagus soup was the best we’ve ever had. We wanted to take a gallon home with us. The oysters and shrimp cocktail ceviche appetizers were fresh and delicious. The entrées we all had were rigatoni Bolognese, halibut, chicken piccata, veal chop marsala, vegan pasta of the day . We all had great meals! It was such a beautiful setting on the Maple River. We can’t wait to go back

My experience at Trovato was absolutely wonderful again! Being off the beaten path, Trovato is by far my favorite restaurant in Northern Michigan. I plan my day around dining there, as I live over an hour away. Chef Dean is so creative and it's a guarantee to have the most amazing meal and dining experience. The setting overlooking the Maple River makes every occasion special. The live music on the patio is a nice touch too, but I would recommend drinks outside and dining inside. 5 stars, but more if I could do that:)

The service was sub-optimal. Theytook my fork away after the salad.when entree was delivered, did not know who got what. Too noisy for my taste. All in all, it was a good but not great experience.

The food was Amazing! The service was outstanding! The only sort of unpleasant part was our table. We were in the corner in the bar area, very small table for 3 people made it hard to not feel smooshed in. It felt like an afterthought even though I had made a reservation a week in advance. We would have loved to sit in the main dining room.
