Walt'z Fish Shak

Spectacular, is the first word that comes to mind when I think about our meal at Walt'z recently.

I asked a real estate friend in the area for a suggestion on where to take the family for a "locals" place. You know, the kind of place most locals and few tourists know about? Cyndee Haydon pointed us to Walt'z and we were *not* disappointed!

Chalkboard menu, with the fish that Walt has purchased earlier in the day, is what you'll order from. And when the catches of the day are gone, they get crossed off the menu. When all the fish is gone, Walt'z closes shop.

No fries. No chicken strips. No burgers. The only serve seafood that is as fresh and flavorful as I have ever experienced.

Other reviewers are correct: get there as early as you can (they open at 5 pm and are closed Mondays).

The only trouble you will have, will be eating seafood anywhere else until you can return to Walt'z.

Recently returned from a trip to St. Pete's Beach. I was fortunate enough to catch up with the local beach real estate experts, Cyndee and Jack. I was interested in learning about the beach homes for sale, what the market was like and where the deals are located.

When you need a local beach real estate expert, be sure to make your first call to Cyndee and Jack Haydon. You will not be disappointed.

In my years as a Belle Tire customer, I have never had bad service. I have also never had a reason to really tout their service, until recently.

My left rear tire, installed last year by Belle Tire, had recently begun a slow leak. It would not get flat, but it would slowly lose air over a two week period whereby I would then need to inflate the tire. I took my car in this past week, explained what was happening and Belle took a gander at it for me.

30 minutes later, my name was called, they handed me the keys to my car and said that they had removed a bolt from the tire and patched the hole. When I asked about the bill, the sales manager told me that this was their pleasure to fix and there would be no charge!

A pleasant surprise during the holiday season, for sure.

Detroit Zoo

As has been pointed out, plan accordingly when hitting the zoo. Yes, wagons, coolers and something to drink are nearly necessities if you are bringing youngsters.

My tip is that if you are planning on coming to the Detroit Zoo more than once a year, get the annual membership. We went in late October to visit the zoo. It was $40 for our family of four to enter. As we were making our way in, the ticket seller mentioned that for an additional $30, we could have an annual membership and return as many times as we like.

So, even if you return just one more time, you are up $10 on the deal!

Highlights for this family include the River Otter House, Polar Bears, and Butterfly House.

Oh... and bring a camera!

Dropped in recently for a pint with some friends.  Friendly staff, awesome beer.  Had the Amber Glare and Punkin Pie.  Both were spectacular. Highly recommend trying out Liberty if you are up for some craft brewed beer.

Excellent addition to the M22 stretch between Traverse City and Suttons Bay. Right next to Scott's Harbor Grill, this cafe does coffee and bite sized foods well.

The awesomeness comes in that you can get locally crafted beers and wines too. Couple that with a great menu of food that is cooked next door (Scott's Harbor Grill), some wifi access and you have the makings of a great second office, should you need one whilst in the TC area.

FYI - I had the Balia Caprese breakfast sandwich. Fresh mozzarella, tomato, red onion, basil pesto and balsamic glace on top of two eggs in an Asiago Ciabatta bun. Perfect start to a blue sky, sunny Fourth of July.

I will definitely be back.

    Stepped off the plane and headed up the Leelanau Penninsula along M-22.  Scott's seemed to be a great spot to stop for a bite and a drink.  

    I ordered the chicken & black bean burrito with an oberon.  The chicken could not have been more tender and juicy.  Service was friendly, attentive and quick with refills.

    I'd recommend Scott's Harbor Grill for a good meal with a great view of the marina and West Bay.

Best cafe on Leelanau Peninsula, hands down!  Recently in the Suttons Bay area for an anniversary, we stopped in for a late breakfast.  

The Egg Nog pancakes, while they were as huge as your head, they were scrumptious!  I highly recommend The Thompson; two scrambled eggs, jalepenos, tomatoes, peppers, and black forest ham covered with cheese.  If your order includes toast, you must try the sourdough!

We'll be back to the 45th Parallel; the Latitude of Unparalleled Taste.

Recently, our company had a social gathering at the Rock Bar & Grill.  Without spilling the beans on our company's social gathering, let's just say a good time was had by all.  The highlight of the evening, though, was the hospitality and specifically the menu provided the Rock Bar & Grill.  Really, when was the last time you went into your local bar and grill and had great Mexican food?

Tacos with freshly shredded lettuce, chopped ripe tomatoes and wonderfully seasoned ground beef.  The quesadillas were piping hot, oozing with cheese.  And a nacho platter that was great from beginning to end.  In fact, the nachos backup the Rock's description:

"Our cheddar-jack cheese blend is carefully put THROUGHOUT the chips, so that from the first bite to the last, you get an ooey, gooey treat."

Yeah, I'll be back.  Good stuff here at the Rock!

Atmosphere and service have been great over the years.  I've often referred to "The Hotel" as a family friendly sports bar, even though it is so much more than that!

I recommend the pizza without hesitation.  The large pepperoni is a great pie to nosh upon.  The pie is served piping hot, with oozing cheese and and the right amount of spice and tang in the pizza sauce.

Trendy coffee shop the way it should be!  Tasty, fresh coffee and they also server Moomer's ice cream.

Across the street from the West Bay, this shop offers a great location to have a conversation over coffee, tea or ice cream.  The wi-fi access doesn't hurt the mobile office worker either.

Heads up though. Refills are a buck if you spend a long time there working and are looking for more than one cuppa.
