Excellent perch!

We were looking for a local restaurant with fresh lake perch. VI Grill did not disappoint! One of the best perch dinners we have experienced. Will be back when we are again in the area to try some other tempting menu items.

We ate here because it was the number two rated place on trip advisor. So, I feel sorry for the people of Sutton’s Bay if this is their best. It was average and everything was okay, but just okay. Nothing had great flavor. Some sauces...More
