Court Yard Ristorante & Olde Roost Lounge

You must be kidding..the "garden fresh salad" was at best mediocre.Not crisp,warm and just plain bland. Do not order halibut or whitefish. One in our party had the halibut,watery,tasteless,just like frozen fish. My entree ,the almond crusted whitefish came in a ball with a crabmeat filling. Not even any whitefish,not even one half of one filet. Meals were extremely over priced!Will never eat there again!

Ate here for dinner on a weekend trip to Alpena - Picked the restaurant based off the Yelp rating and it didnt disappoint.   Good salads, asparagus flatbread was tasty, i went with pizza which was good and my wife enjoyed her chicken salad.  We were pleasantly surprised be the total on the bill.  If we lived there, we would be back for sure.  Only recommendation would be put more signage on the outside.  We drove past it a couple times and almost gave up looking.

If you're a foodie and you find yourself in Alpena, MI...this is it!  Fantastic chef with an interesting menu.  Good fresh (and many local!) ingredients, quality fish, and interesting and inventive dishes.

The atmosphere is stellar as long as you sit in the 'old part' (if they try and sit you up in the 'new room with a view' ask to be seated elsewhere).  

The bar is an amazing spot to hang out (it's been around since the 1940s) and it screams atmosphere.  

We go here everytime we  hit Alpena now and consider it the only place to get 'real food' anywhere within 50 miles.
