Reviews for Slate in Traverse City, MI
This was our 1st visit to TC and we happened upon this place and checked out the menu that was posted in the window. The wife... had a taste for Bruschetta and it was on the menu so we went in. The hostess asked us if we had a reservation, which we didn't,but seated us right away. The Bruschetta WAS AWESOME!! We also got the Tomato Caprese which was even slightly better than theBruschetta! The baguette was served warm and with dipping sauce but was $3.00 extra. My wife had Fettuccine Alfredo withgrilled chicken and thought it was really good especially if you like your Alfredo sauce thick! Much thicker than mostplaces. I had an Italian Susage dish with penne pasta, marinara and backed cheese on it. I can't remember the exact name if thedish, sorry. It was good however the sausage was ground up like hamburger so it had a lot of sausage in it so it had a verystrong sausage taste to it. I prefer my sausage in chuck's but I cant hold that against them. Very good food, service wasfantastic and prices were a in line with a tourist destination restaurant. We recommend it and think you will enjoy it. Read more
The first time I went here, it was great. After coming back a few times over a year, and with this most recent experience on... 2-26-2020, I am disappointed. The service has gotten slower and slower...we waited 38 minutes for our appetizer, and our dinnerwas cold. My water glass sat empty for 15 minutes. The wine glasses were never cleared from our table either, even though wesaid no wine. Not acceptable at these prices. Read more
On a Friday night we waited about an hour for a table, which wasn't bad and they text us when it was ready so we could walk... around downtown. The food was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend going here. The Surf and Turf is a fillet mignonon a cheese and crab risotto and honestly was some of the best risotto I've ever had. I tried everyone else's dishes and not onewas bad. Prices are reasonable for what you get. We will for sure go again! Read more
I was really wanting some good pasta. This place does the job and is kinda the only one in TC walking distance that I could... find. There was a 35 min wait. There’s no bread. The pasta is not bad but it just could be better for the price. I woulddefinitely try it if I were you but exploring other options wouldn’t be bad either. Staff was awesome! Drinks were good too.

Food is excellent! Our server was very nice and attentive. Our food came out relatively quickly and the atmosphere felt upscale... but not too much. Loved it! Prices however were not proportionate to the size if the dish you get. Read more
Came here for dinner for my bachelor party. We made a reservation but there was still plenty of open seating despite it being... Saturday night - which is surprising because the food was great! Eddie was our server and was informative and fun. I got thesurf and turf and paired with a red wine as recommended by our server. The food is pricy but definitely worth it for a specialoccasion.

Really enjoyed our dinner here. We called a head for reservations since it was a Friday night. Got a nice quiet booth in the... back. My pasta was really good and the service was friendly and fast. Peanut butter pie for dessert was such a yummy treat. Read more
