Even though it was Mother's Day weekend, our reservation was honored immediately. This is a very popular place, so it was busy, especially the bar scene. It was also prom night, so there were many young people having dinner. We enjoyed our spring rolls appetizers, which were crunchy, & not the least bit greasy. The kitchen was kind enough to... More

Ambience, food, service - all incredible. Not the cheapest place in town, but the best epicurean destination. We often have 3 or 4 small plates because we can't choose just one or two for our entrees. It is out special occasion restaurant, and we look for and even make up occasions so we can go. Recommend without reservation, but you... More

My friends and I were in TC last weekend, we heard great things about Red Ginger and decided to try it out. We were very impressed. It has a fancy look to it, but you can still wear jeans there and not feel out of place. They also have a nice bar which looked like it had a lot of... More

Had dinner with our family on a Saturday night @ Red Ginger. My 1st observation is that this is where the beautiful people go to eat in Traverse City (which was a little concerning). Our reservation was quickly honored & we were seated within minutes of arriving. Throughout the meal the attention we got from the wait staff was ideal,... More

We were seated by the window with a nice view of the bay. Waiter was attentive--we lacked nothing. Even the bus boy was very nice and gave us instructions on how to use the chopsticks for sushi. The food and atmosphere was excellent! This was a very fun experience as we tried sushi for the first time along with some... More

My husband and I consider ourselves "foodies" and this place did not disappoint. We were impressed with the style of service; very attentive and knowledgeable staff. We tried a variety of items from small plates. main course (tuna shashimi), to sushi, desserts and wine. It was a bit noisy, but not intolerable, it gave the room an energetic feel. Our... More

Great restaurant. Nice location right in downtown Traverse City. Great service. I had the red dragon martini – very good. We had a larger group (13 people) and ordered Sushi for the group it was well prepared and excellent. Can’t wait to go again!
