RyeBelles Restaurant & Bar in Michigan

"I wish there was a 1/2 point on the rating scale. It would be a 4.5 overall for me. Came here today, Saturday, at 4:30 pm so it wasn’t busy yet (it got quite busy after dinner). Hostess was very friendly and so was our server. I believe his name’s Christian. Everything was good, with the exception of the appetizer, Calamari breading was light enough, but it was too salty, and the calamari itself was a tad overcooked. Pretty much every where we go, I try to order calamari because I really miss a proper Italian calamari such as the ones we had when we lived in Italy. Unfortunately, it is very rare to find a perfectly cooked calamari. The calamari here is also unique and a welcome change to the usual as it had fried lemon slices, red and green bell peppers, and banana peppers. It came with a dipping sauce, but I still prefer just a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. I had the Walleye and it was very good, moist, flaky, and seasoned to my liking. The only downside is the numerous fish bone throughout the filet, so BEWARE of that when ordering. Moreover, the rice pilaf that it came with was a little too wet from what I’m used to. Otherwise, it tasted good. Their vegetable of the day was sautéed green beans, which was nice and crunchy. My husband had the Beef Stroganoff and he really liked it. I had a little taste of the pasta as it looked perfectly cooked. I wasn’t wrong. He also had the Beets Salad before his main entree. It was delicious, but the quantity was quite a lot, especially if you order a main course. He couldn’t even eat half of it! We brought our very picky young child with us. She didn’t want anything from the kids menu. She wanted only sautéed shrimp and French fries. So, we special-requested 4 sautéed tiger shrimps for her. They were happy to accommodate that request. They were bouncy and crunchy—-perfectly cooked!! Overall, I would happily come back to this place and maybe try something else from the menu next time. I read some of the reviews on here who rave about the rooftop view. I wish today wasn’t so cold and windy to sit up there. We will definitely come back and try the rooftop next time!"

"Wheelchair friendly! They have an elevator! Food was delicious! Shrimp scampi yum!!!! Firecracker shrimp——- so goooood!!! Our server was Alex who was extremely pleasant!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!"

"Our Waitress Katie, the food and atmosphere was just amazing. Came here with my wife, family Kelly and Eric for dinner on 9.27.25. Can't go wrong with the restaurant."

"We came on a Friday evening in September and had to wait about 40 minutes to be seated. While we waited, we had a couple drinks in the open air deck while listening to live music. There was plenty of room to sit in this area although it did start filling up during our wait. We were seated in the tables closest to the view of Lake Michigan, which was absolutely outstanding. The menu options were solid and I had the walleye, which was delicious. It was definitely a great atmosphere and the waitress was consistent and attentive."

"The food was delicious! We all had pasta dishes. The reason I gave them 4 stars for food is I feel $27 for pasta is a lot. No salad with that cost either. Alex was an attentive kind server. We enjoyed out dining experience very much. We sat upstairs, we see the lake and the trick or treaters too! Lovely evening"

"Great atmosphere and can see the lake from rooftop! Tried the perch, panko shrimp, and cheeseburger. All were good, but not a fan of the chips or the coleslaw."

"Nice place, decent atmosphere, clean. Friendly staff. We really wanted to sit rooftop, but the wait was very long. So we went back to the dining room and were told that they were booked as well, but there were spots at the bar, so we chose to sit there. The bar tender was nice and extremely hard working. The bar was full, and she hustled to make sure everyone had drinks and their food, and she never looked flustered. Got to give her props. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. We ordered the Cajun pasta, the cheeseburger, and a steak sandwich. No ome had any complaints. Next time we head back to Michigan, we will try and see if we can get a rooftop spot!."

"This place was great find! Outside eating was to die for although the inside vibe was great too! They also had live rooftop music in another area of the restaurant. Only appetizers and drinks could be ordered on this side but the view at night was so great! Amazing food and the service was beyond fantastic! Alex was our waiter and he took excellent care of us! We will definitely visit this place again!"
