Marie Bunker, the food and beverage manager at the inn told the Detroit Free Press that their decision to switch to outdoor dining has been a success so far.

"We changed our concept in the wake of COVID. We went from fine dining to something more casual, which has been a hit with locals and guests. People feel comfortable. They relax with breathtaking panoramic views.."

Not only will food on the lawn be available, but live music and yard games as well. They have lawn chess, bocce ball, giant Jenga and so much more. To read more on the story, visit the Detroit Free Press website.
