Food scene

The atmosphere here is unique--part book library, gift shop, coffee house, with live music in the evenings. But, come for the food! Many vegan and vegetarian offerings to go with nearly every kind of coffee and tea beverage.

We love shawarma but it's hard to find authentic around town. There's a few places, some with great atmosphere, but the food falls short. Cedar Sub & Salad is a former sub shop and decorated accordingly but so far this has been the best middle eastern for quality and taste. We get ours to go, and walk south to the waterfront and eat ours in the park along the water.

This is our go-to sushi/sashimi place with a huge assortment. My husband can't do shellfish but there's plenty of fish and vegetarian options. Lobster and steak is very good! We have a friend from Japan and this is where eats. The hibachi grill is great for groups because the seating area wraps around each individual grills. Your personal chef cooks it right at your table, showing off his culinary skills.

Very basic & casual decor but this is authentic Thai food. Try the fried tofu appetizer or the shrimp & chicken rolls. All the curries are wonderful. The hotness rating is different from Mexican food. Mild is like Mexican medium. Medium is like Mexican hot. Our son normally likes ghost pepper chilis and habernero (hotness that might give us an ulcer) and found Medium+ to his liking.

Not sure if they still have the Jalapeño Margaritas on the bar menu, but if so definitely try one! Reservations preferred, and pickup available but no delivery...this is not fast food takeout but quality dining.

Not far past the Gratiot County Public Beach is the day use beach for Lakeport which is much nicer sandy beach. You'll know you're at the right place when you see the pedestrian bridge cross over top the highway. There's extra overflow parking and picnic pavilions & grills on the west side of the road. On the beach side there's also more picnic areas/grills, restrooms, change rooms. Gratiot County Park is nice, but this one, in our opinion is nicer. Dogs are not allowed on either of the beaches, or really any beaches in Michigan.

This is a nice sandy beach and there's a lighthouse museum, restrooms and concession. Water is fast moving here as it's where the lake first begins to empty into the river so we don't recommend swimming here but dipping your legs in is refreshing! This park hosts a lot of events like Art Shows, BBQ, fundraisers, sand castle competitions--there's always something going on. No dogs allowed on the beach, or any beaches in Michigan sadly.

Look for the takeout menu in the drawer of the living room cabinet. They not only deliver takeout, but some groceries, wine and beer! Cut-off time for alcohol orders is 1 a.m. but you can go there yourself. No alcohol sales after 2 a.m. but they are open until 3 a.m. Must order their panzerotti which they call "Stromboli", the fried perch is also very good!
