After a day of race training at The Highlands with our ski team, we stopped in at Southwoods and were impressed by the amazing staff. Despite the odd layout of the place, the waitress took great care of our large group on a busy Saturday night. The whitefish dish, though slightly under seasoned, was quite good and the place is perfect for relaxing with friends over a good meal and some beers.

hahaha...that's what people do at a bar, get drunk! Being a bartender, I figured you'da known that. Get a life, get off your high horse and realize the world doesn't revolve around you and let OTHER people have fun! lmfao dumbass

11/05/2009 - disturbed and disgusted
While trying to eat our dinner on Wednesday night, 11/05/09, at around 7 p.m., there were 3 VERY visibly drunk and obnoxious patrons in the bar area. The "F"-Bomb was dropped very loudly I can't tell you how many times, along with other crude swear words. There were several tables in this "smoking area" trying to eat what was really a very nice meal. After the manager walked out 3 times and viewed them, and he KNEW how drunk that they were, the bartender, (who is obviously NOT TAM Certified), proceeded to serve one of the drunk men ANOTHER BUDWEISER!!! I was shocked and amazed! Being a bartender, myself, not only is this the most stupid thing I have ever seen a bartender do in my life........but, HEY..........IT"S ILLEGAL!!!! I was so pissed that I had the bartender box up my food, and we left. I cannot believe that this bartender did not call a cab for those 3 people, who obviously couldn't get up off their bar stool, let alone form a proper sentence without slurring their words. Why is this acceptable behavior? Is the manager and the bartender aware of the fact that according to Michigan Law, THEY and THE ESTABLISHMENT are liable if anything happens to not only innocent people, but to the drunks themselves? Do they both realize that they could not only lose their jobs, but also face jail time and a hefty fine for over serving these people and not calling a cab for them?????????? Apparently, you have to be ignorant and/or turn a blind eye in this small town in order to keep your job!!! Just one more fine example of "it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know"! Very, very sad. This is NOT the first time we have experienced this kind of behavior.
