In Suttons Bay, Jim Milliman's Hattie's Restaurant spells haute cuisine. For 10 years, it's been known as one of northwest Michigan's finest eateries which regularly features all sorts of game dishes and the best in local produce and fish.
Women take to new and interesting flavors much quicker than men.
Freshness is the key at this popular restaurant which Milliman named for his grandmother. She had the great gift of bringing great food out of an empty cupboard - or so it seemed to me. Hattie's is located on Suttons Bay's main street which is lined with gift shops, a florist, grocery store and other interesting boutiques designed to tempt locals and tourists alike. And since a thoroughfare, rather than water, is our scenic ambience, we emphasize food quality. And it only makes sense to use fresh, indigenous products like cherries.
