My favorite restaurant in Michigan. Stop here any time you can. Everything on the menu is top notch, service is outstanding and consistent. You fit in well dining in a suit and just as well sipping a cocktail in shorts and t-shirt. The White Horse is the mark that all restaurants should be measured by.

Second time there. Wife loved the salmon. My chicken pot pie was okay but was sadly lacking in any meaningful flavor. Others dishes also fell into the good-but-not-great category. Service was fantastic. So were the desserts - creme brulees and bread pudding. The lackluster pot pie will not stop us from returning to try something else.

We went there today with our church group of about 23 people. The waitstaff was awesome. Food was excellent. The restaurant was clean, bathroom was very clean. Loved the faucet and hand dryer all in one. It was shaped like an airplane, the nose was where the water came out and the wings dried your hands.

Wonderful food. Beautiful atmosphere. Slightly high prices, but big portions so it evens out. Get the creme brulee! Crabcakes are really good too. If you have a group, rent an igloo and eat outside in winter. Super cool! Definitely worth the drive.

This is our favorite place to go for dinner. Even though we live in Rochester where there a so many options we prefer the laid back relaxing environment at the WhiteHorse. I would love to see a few changes in the menu. I think there is room for improvement. I order the same thing all the time because when I try something different it usually is not great. I think the fish tacos are a great example. How about some grilled Mahi fish tacos instead of basically fish sticks in a shell. I took the time to write the review because we LOVE coming just would like a few more options including maybe Gluten Free dishes so we could bring some people who require that.

The place is beautiful, no doubt about it. I had dinner here with friends after hearing the food had improved since the last time I had been there. The bad - I'm sorry to say, it has not improved much. The best thing about our meal was the drinks and the mashed potatoes. The waitress we had was also disappointing. She seemed like she was constantly rushing us to leave (not sure why, it wasn't busy). The food and hospitality just was not what I would have liked for a bill close to $200.00. The good - Of our dessert choices, the bread pudding was on point. My take away - Enjoy drinks and dessert while taking in the beauty. Otherwise, the meal isn't worth the price in my own opinion.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant for a holiday party with a group of about 30 coworkers. The restaurant itself had fantastic decor and around Christmas it looks great. Drinks were good and the food was great! I highly recommend the ribeye with brussel sprouts which is what I had. Friendly staff.

Had lunch in the igloo...that was fun the family enjoyed a great deal..food is hot or miss. I had the chicken pot pie..not very special, very little filling of chicken ,carrots and peas. Not even a pie crust, just a hard cracker topping. Others enjoyed the buffalo meat loaf. My wife enjoyed her salmon, kind of surprised they didn't include salad with the salmon dinner or the chicken pot pie...that was not really a pie.

The place sure is different from what it used to be. I guess it's better. More upscale. Pretty popular with the equestrian crowd, but I'm only a horse-husband. Can't say I was ever disappointed going there.

I have heard many great things about the White Horse inn...it did not disappoint. I could not stop taking in the beauty of the place! It is gorgeous! I had lamb cheeks with homemade gnocchi and snap peas. It was so delicious! Probably the most crispy peas I've ever eaten. They were perfect. My husband had the Hungarian goloush which he also really enjoyed. We will definitely be back

Had the pulled pork on an onion bun for lunch. It came with homemade potato chips and a pickle. Very tasty but would use a different bun. I had to cut my sandwich up to eat it since the bottom bun was so soggy. My husband had the blackened chicken Caesar wrap. It was quite big! It too came with homemade potato chips and pickle. He said it was very good but he didn’t care much for the chips. He said next time he’s ordering the fries.We ate out on the patio. We sat very close to the main road which surprisingly for a small town is pretty busy. So because of this it was hard to hear other talk because of noisy vehicles going at stop light. They social distance everyone and there are a lot of tables spread beyond the patio even. The bathrooms were clean and it looks to me like the touch less faucets and blowers were put in since the pandemic. All in all we will definitely be returning to this restaurant!

Kelly and her fantastic staff allowed us to use this beautiful facility for an intimate gathering for a wedding ceremony. Following the ceremony, our family and friends enjoyed a fantastic lunch. Our wait staff was extremely attentive. I can’t say enough about how wonderful of an experience we had. Every little detail was above and beyond our expectations, making our special day carefree and perfect!

My wife and I visited the White Horse Inn on a busy Friday night for a birthday party. Our group was rather large (30). There were several other large parties that night too. The service was great. They had two servers working our half of the table. For an appetizer, we had the crab cakes and they were delicious. For our meal I had the walleye and my wife had the prime rib. Both meals we excellent. Everyone on our end of the table was very happy with the service and the meals. I wish we lived closer as we would definitely be back.

Beautifully remodeled and decorated. This is one of the higher end restaurants in the area so prices may seem higher than one is used to but the food is good and it makes for a romantic night out as a couple. Make sure to check out the mural on the wall painted by a french artist and be sure to wander upstairs and peek down at the specially laid wood floor

Loved this place. First, the building was very scenic and historic being built in the late 1800s as a hotel and restaurant. It was renovated in 2014 and some of the old building was saved. Very cool. Shout out to Craig for the cool ghost stories about the original family seen haunting the restaurant regularly. Second, the food was fantastic. Great menu and great drink choices for a restaurant in a quaint town. Also visit the White Horse Inn general store across the street when you're done eating.
