Karl's Cuisine, Winery and Brewery

Pleasantly surprised. Great food, although portions were on the smaller side. Highly recommend their rueben, and the whitefish spread was delicious. Tried a few beers, all very good. Didn't try the higher higher ABV varieties as they were out of those. We also got a wine sampler. The wines were decent but not exceptional. Cozy setting, and our server was very attentive. Prices were reasonable.

The food seems to be prepared. It is the first time I've had a Greek salad with potato salad in the center. I ordered the Whitefish Pizza it was quite tasty, with a bit of spice. We also had the Greek pizza and that was good with a lot of feta on it. I also ordered a wine flight. The wine was a little on the weak side but then I have found that most wines in Traverse City seem to be a little weak and lacking in body.

Delicious smoked whitefish dip!! Entrees we ordered the blueberry glazed chicken, beef pasty and panko parmesan crusted white fish. Fish and chicken were excellent (pasty was ok) and the portions were very generous. Blueberry cider was not very nice.

Awesome location where you can watch freighters pass through the locks. Service was friendly and knowledgeable with good recommendations. Had a glass of the pale ale which was crisp and fresh. Boyne the pulled pork Stromboli special and pasty were delicious, good portions, and reasonably priced. Dining room and bathrooms were very clean. Highly recommended.

The staff here is AHHMAZING if you have children accompanying you on your visit. Morgan our server was super engaging and filled with information about their menu and took the time to chat with us. Petula probably saved the moment for our dinner. While we were just about to have our toddler take a walk outside from throwing something across the table, she came over to introduce toddler busy activities. It was perfection. William was super awesome as well, playing and interacting with our son while he roared and well, yelled like a dinosaur and William played along. Not to mention, the beer is perfectly priced and delicious and while we all enjoyed our meal, I will just say my whitefish skillet was slightly dry but the sauce saved it. A visit worth going! Karl and Paula... Shout out to your staff, because they deserve it. We visit 8/7/19 at 7pm.

Been here a few times with mixed experiences... with a group it's a little less enjoyable as the space is small, but a group up to 6 is doable. If it's you and a friend or another couple, sitting at the bar is great. It's a bit on the pricey side but really good locally sourced food. The service is excellent. Decent selection of beer on tap, and make sure you take a look at the dessert tray - their creme brulee is great

We loved this place!!! The food was spectacular - fresh and local. The upper deck provided terrific views of the locks and the sunset.

Super good food! We ordered ahead and picked-up for takeout. The dining room was pretty full when we came. The takeout hostess was really communicative and even called us back about out order. Would definitely get the whitefish skillet again (but they were out so I had haddock instead)
