The Best Romantic dinner by the lake in Harbor Springs, Michigan

Located at 102 East Bay Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan, Stafford's Pier Restaurant is a tribute to the town's maritime heritage. Built on original pilings over the harbor, the restaurant offers waterfront dining with stunning views of the historic yacht basin. Visitors can enjoy a variety of fresh seafood, Great Lakes fish, steaks, and classic Northern Michigan dishes in the main dining room. The Pointer Room at Stafford's Pier Restaurant extends out towards the yacht basin, providing guests with an eclectic menu and spectacular water views. The room was once a boat house for the Harbor Point Association's water taxi, adding to its unique charm. The Pointer Boat, docked at the restaurant during the summer, offers tours through the harbor after a complete restoration.
