Nice staff, good food, will go back.
This restaurant was really good. I would go here again. A nice surprise in food for sure. We got seated quickly as we went there early.

The food/drinks were amazing and same goes to the service! Definitely recommend getting a 5 or 7 course meal your first time. It was a very chill vibe like you're at a family members house for dinner. We will definitely be back! Thanks for the

How delightful! Our group did the 5-course meal with wine pairings - every bite, and sip, was delicious. Service was exceptional. The dining room was charming. Perfect evening from start to finish!
We enjoyed a spectacular dinner last week at Cooks House.
The food, cocktails, service and ambiance were terrific. This is our fourth summer in the Traverse City area and this was by far the best restaurant we have frequented thus far. One of the owners took it upon himself to comp us some sparkling wine,

Such an amazing experience from start to finish - the service, the food, the cocktails and wine pairings. I truly felt like a guest of honor with the attention to detail and attentiveness the entire restaurant gave our group, but I don't doubt t
The service is as fantastic as the food.
Truly a wonderful dining experience with creative and unique dishes that taste fantastic. The starters and deserts were out of this world. My only regret is that I wasn't hungry enough for the tasting menu. You won't go wrong with anything
Worth Every Penny! Unique Experience.
We are foodie folks and I made a reservation here as soon as I knew we were planning a trip to Traverse City. There just happened to be one at 9pm on the Thursday we would be there. In the meantime, while watching the James Beard Awards, I noticed th

Everything was exquisite.
Delicious is an understatement. We went a la cart as we don't eat much. Although they have a rotating menu, the lake trout and New York strip were divine. The strip was accompanied by something similar to a chinichurrie sauce, and the lake trout

Wow! Describing this place as amazing feels like an understatement. I've had tasting menus, but from start to finish this menu was perfection. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. Its a but tight in there, but definitely worth it.

Fabulous food and service that was just as fabulous! We created our own tasting menu because we wanted one of everything on the menu (we didn't quite make it through!). Everything was exquisite, even charred asparagus taken over the top with
Disappointed
The service was top notch; my husband's walleye was stellar; but, my beef belly was almost inedible --way too much fat to meat. The prices were extreme, as expected. I was totally disappointed as I'd wanted to eat here for yrs.
Great time with mostly amazing food
Visited August 1. My wife and I had the 5 course tasting with wine pairing. It was plenty of food for us. The food was mostly amazing! First course was cold tomato soup. I hate tomato soup but still tried it. Didn’t enjoy, but I just don’t lik
Amazing highly recommend
OMG THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! Alex, Lauren, and Dylan rocked it. What a great experience. We did the 7 course with wine and it was well worth it! Beautiful, delicious, tasty, and so highly recommended!!!
Anyone not giving them five stars is a fool
I grew up in this town but left in 1985. I’ve lived in California since and have eaten at a lot of great restaurants including the Laundry, Chez Panisse, Slanted Door and Mr Chows to name a few. This without a doubt rank's right there. I hones
Gone down hill!
Went for 30th anniversary, 6/26/23. This spot used to be great however since son took the chef role the food is terrible-served a potato chip with a piece of dill pickle to top-their complimentary appetizer. Had a beef entree, couldn’t eat all an
Another great dining experience... with an unexpected surprise
Simply put... this is the best restaurant in or near Traverse City. Had perfectly crisp pork belly on this visit, the 3rd or 4th. Arrived 10 minutes early for a 5:30 reservation to a warm greeting and choice of tables. Sitting at the table just belo

Connect with users posting reservations for The Cooks’ House Traverse City
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Cooks’ House Traverse City. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Cooks’ House Traverse City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Cooks’ House Traverse City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at The Cooks’ House Traverse City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Cooks’ House Traverse City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
