Morel's Bistro

Great bottle of wine for a decent price. The salmon was wild caught (yay) and the mushroom risotto was delish. The service was excellent. We ditched the kids for the night and were not disappointed!  The owner was super nice and knew his wine suggestions and we had a great bottle of Migration Pinot nior. We will be back sans kids.

A great place with great food. The sautéed calamari appetizer was unique and delicious. The wild mushroom soup, is not cream based, but pure delicious and loaded with mushrooms, also not over salted like so many are. For the main entree my wife had the morel and leek stuffed walleye, awesome, I had the special sirloin steak topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions with a sprinkle of blue cheese. Again, delicious and cooked to medium rare perfection. It's obvious this chef knows his stuff. Our waitress was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu.

The only "con" about Morels, and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it's location. It's really not far from Boyne City, Walloon Lake, or Boyne Falls, but its just a little too far off the beaten path. Views out the windows show the residential neighborhood and logging operation across the road. That, and the gravel parking area really distract from what a fine restaurant it really is. My recommendation is to overlook the cons and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. This was my first visit and I will definitely be back.

Morel's Bistro is a fine example of modern fine dining in a casually elegant setting.  Each of the items we ordered were perfect!  The mushroom soup was in a clear broth and was loaded with a variety of mushrooms.  Our server, Rachel, was awesome and so helpful in describing menu items.  The whitefish was cooked to perfection and was presented so beautifully.  We will definitely put Morel's Bistro on our "to do" list whenever we are in the Boyne City area!!!  Awesome experience!!
