When it comes to planning the perfect date night or celebrating a special moment with someone you love, atmosphere matters just as much as the food. At The Tasting Room in Traverse City, we’ve created a space designed for connection—elevated, intimate, and unforgettable.
Whether you’re sharing a bottle of wine on our riverside garden patio or savoring a candlelit dinner in our dining room, every detail is crafted to enhance the romance.
What Makes The Tasting Room a Romantic Favorite?
Riverside Ambiance
Nestled along the Boardman River, our garden patio offers a serene, flower-filled setting with the gentle sound of water in the background. It’s a quiet escape in the heart of downtown—perfect for slow conversations and lingering meals.
Cozy, Elegant Interiors
Inside, the lighting is soft, the seating is intimate, and the service is polished without being intrusive. Our romantic dining room and fireplace-lit Riverside Room set the tone
for anniversaries, proposals, or simply a beautiful evening out.
Curated Wines & Cocktails
From bold reds to sparkling rosés, our sommelier-selected wine list offers something special for every toast. Our craft cocktail menu—like the tableside “Genie in a Bottle”—adds a bit of magic to your evening.
Chef-Driven Cuisine
Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, from our signature steaks and fresh seafood to seasonal features like the Baja Grouper or hand-rolled pastas. Dietary preferences,
including gluten-free, are seamlessly accommodated.
Designed for Grown-Up Moments
While we welcome guests of all ages, The Tasting Room is designed with adults in mind. We do not offer a children’s menu or high chairs, allowing for a peaceful, uninterrupted dining experience—perfect for couples and celebrations.
