I will say, we had the most enjoyable time while in Charlevoix for Venetian Fest this year. Our "go-to" at night was Vue and we will continue to come every time we are up that way. I have to give a HUGE shout out to Val, who was just on top of everything at all given times. As I said, we were in numerous times throughout the week and when she was there, you never had to wait for anything and she had every answer right away. I asked if she was the owner, and she said no, but to see how someone truly loves their job and goes above and beyond, it's very refreshing. **Side note: we were there Friday night and the woman working (I think Nicky or Micky), she could take a training session from Val on how to properly conduct herself. She had no answers to anything, said they were out of most items, and truly treated us like we were nobody's. Guess I should have rolled in with my Gucci or Prada, then I would have gotten her attention and talked nicely to. You never know who's who, and don't judge a book by the cover. When you are on Vacay, you don't need to look the Corporate part... You do that Monday thru Friday....

I ordered the hummus and veggie platter with the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond select flight. The hummus had a really good flavor, and I liked the pita and crackers, but I gave a lower rating because the veggie selection was just ok, and they were also out of the graze cup/plate, which would have gone better with a wine tasting. The Francis Ford Coppola Diamond select flight was a great, light summer wine tasting trio, and they provided a generous pour. I would definitely go here again for wine tasting in a relaxing outdoor...
   Read moreWe loved the Vue Wine Bar. It has been on our bucket list for a while. Our Aussiedoodle was allowed on the patio. Luck had it that the ferry was heading out shortly after we sat down. Saw the bridge open up. Our server was very knowledgeable of all the menu items. My wife got a flight of wines included was champagne. The bartender mixed up a delightful bourbon drink which included local honey and lemon. It was so good. Then we ordered crackers with Spinach dip for a snack before we crossed the street to have lunch. Our server was very friendly, she even remembered the Bull Frog Candle factory that closed 14 years ago. Thanks for an...
