Gilchrist Farm

We so enjoyed our afternoon lunch here. Such a great farm to table experience and the staff was so helpful! We loved the wine, took a few bottles home, and oh that celery salad. YUM. Will look forward to recreating. Oops and the Rhubarb Ice Cream stole my heart!

Amazing dinner. Beautiful space. I love a simple menu. Everything was seasoned perfectly. You could feel the service was stretched to its limits though. The lady hosting was serving all the tables too and she did a great job managing a whole restaurant. SO to her

As a local, we’ve enjoyed both brunch and lunch here. This was our first visit for restaurant week and each option was outstanding. We enjoyed the wine pairings that went with each option. Highly recommend this hidden gem with its unique farm to table flavors.

Gilchrist Farm is incredible. Fantastic food, impeccable service, in a beautiful space. The staff was incredibly welcoming friendly and professional, making the meal feel special yet unpretentious.

Fantastic! Farm to table restaurant - contemporary dishes. Cozy and intimate space, friendly staff. The dessert (chocolate mouse was to die for)

I came here for dinner during a girls weekend & all of our food was delicious! We all had a wine flight, a delicious cheese plate, & I had the burger for my entree. It was, hands down, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! It was juicy, but not greasy & I finished it all! The only part of our meal that was disappointing was the chocolate cake. It was too dry for our liking. Overall, great service & delicious food.

We stopped in to try the desserts🍨 as it was on the main street, and we needed energy after 🛍. Wow, we know where we are going back to. The sorbet was unique in flavor with an exceptional flavor, and the cheese cake and plum tart had the European look and taste. It looked so good when served, I forgot to take the pictures. We started eating before I realized it. So you are seeing only a portion of the plates. I would recommend a visit.

What a great spot for lunch and a delicious glass (or tasting flight) of wine. So glad they created this awesome spot, and their patio is great on a nice sunny day in Suttons Bay! The people that work there are super friendly and helpful. The food, wow! Very high quality and very delicious. We had the burrata salad and winter daal, so good. 😋

We recently visited Gilchrist Farms for the first time to have brunch. We were super impressed with the beautiful dining rooms, excellent service and absolutely delicious food. I used to have a favorite brunch spot we visited whenever we came up to visit the Traverse city area, but Gilchrist Farms blew that restaurant away. I love that they take reservations, so you don't have to wait around to get a table. Their menu may not be huge, but everything on it looks amazing. My husband & I shared the fried chicken biscuit and the farm plate and we loved them both. My only complaint is that they don't offer brunch more days, so we can eat their more often. Next time we are in town, we'll try their lunch or dinner as well!

My foodie friend and I have our faves, but we enjoy trying new places, too. This place was new to us. My friend tried the pork on chips. I had the chive pancakes. Pricey, but decent portions (sharing sized) and farm to table quality. It's quite nice inside. Service- good, good.

Food is really good and the owners strive to go above and beyond to make your farm to table experience excellent !

1st experience was fine great fish chowder. Second experience, sadly, was not so good. The sourdough bread "toast" with fetta and brown butter was good, although more like a pancake than any crostini "toast". Italian recipe used for mafaldine had so much pepper and peppercorn it was all we tasted. The "lasagna" was not really an Italian dish, it was cumin based, hardly an Italian herb and one certainly not used for "lasagna" and, again way to much cumin, more like Indian cuisine meets pasta noodles, the pasta was not at all what would be expected. I like spicy food, my wife not as much, however we weren't going for spicy, we were both going for Italian. Advertise the "lasagna" instead as some type of Indian dish, and practice making a better mafaldine, in general don't over spice. Also food was overpriced.

We went here on a Monday evening and it was great! The meals are all made from scratch. I enjoyed a nice Chardonnay Mule, and the dinner was a pasta dish. Also had some special popcorn I cannot recall the name of. Recommended!

We dined in for their Sunday Brunch and it was lights out. Their beignets were off the charts and had a few sauces that were great. Their breakfast sandwich was the best I've had maybe in my entire life. Their eggs are good quality, probably from a local farm. I can't wait to try lunch or dinner.

I've been twice for dinner, both a few months apart so I was able to experience totally different seasonal menus. Every dish has been delicious and the wines are fantastic as well!!! I will continue coming back and recommending to anyone in the area!

Jen and Justin have done a fantastic job with the menu here, you MUST try the burger. It's undescribable, just get it and enjoy! The wine is delicious too and I always try their fun wine cocktails.

Food is excellent. We had the potatoes that were cheesy and wonderful. The pasta was homemade and very nicely prepared with a light tomato sauce. Sounds basic but it wasn't. Also wonderful. We also had the chive pancake and the grilled cheese. Both were great. Nice char on the artisan bread and rackets cheese. Yum. The wine flight was great too. We left with four bottles! Lastly, Erin was a great server. Friendly, attentive and informative. What more could we ask for? All around great food, wine and service. 10/10.

Food and wine were excellent. Unfortunately all meals didn't arrive at the same time and three of us were almost done with our meals when the fourth individual was served. Definitely need to work on that aspect of their service.
