If there’s one thing every Michigander can agree on, it’s that our state is absurdly beautiful. From our sparkling inland lakes to our pristine beachfronts to our seemingly endless fall foliage, there’s something here in Michigan for everyone. While these views alone are magical, is there anything more wonderful than enjoying the splendor of Michigan while indulging in an equally spectacular meal? There’s one restaurant here in the Great Lakes State that serves up amazing food with an awe-inspiring view, and you’ll want to visit.

Aerie Restaurant & Lounge is located within the Grand Traverse Resort, which can be found at 100 Grand Traverse Village Boulevard in Acme.
