"Vernales Restaurant is an upscale sports bar, chop house, & wine cellar with everything you can imagine, from pastas and salads to fantastic desserts, incredible service, and beautiful open air dining. Dining here proved to be a lovely experience. We elected to dine outside under the beautiful summer sun, and we enjoyed a gentle breeze and the fresh air that draws people from around the world to Northern Michigan. Our waitress was a lovely lady who had a smile that lit up the entire patio. She helped me select something that was gluten free, and took special care to help us find suitable meals for our preferences and dietary needs." - Annie Fairfax
