Susans Sawyer — Restaurant in Chikaming Township

Susan’s is challenging to write a review about because the descriptions of the service, the food, and the excellent environment are going to read as inflated. They aren’t. We have had a dozen lovely meals here- always with excellent service, great drinks, and delightful food.

Excellent fine dining experience- a true gem, not to be missed! For starters, the food is spectacular- inventive and prepared with extraordinary attention to detail. The menu items have been chosen with care to maintain excellence rather than trying to offer too much. The ambience is unlike anything else in harbor country.

The tables are spaced for intimate dining experiences and the staff is attentive and thoughtful. The owner personally visited every table while we were there and rolled up her sleeves to host and bus tables too! Best restaurant in the area-do whatever you can...
