Martell's - Kalamazoo

We've been having our high school reunion meetings there, every couple months for years. Love this place, always looking forward to going!!

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the service was impeccable! However, the food wasn’t that remarkable. Pasta was a bit spicy for being on a kids menu. Then the cheese ravioli was very dry and was supposed to be in a pesto sauce but it was almost as if it was rolled in herbs instead. Ordered the Pork Milanese and the initial order came out raw, which was very off putting, as you could imagine. It was actually ******.The staff was very apologetic and it was immediately taken off the bill and a replacement was given to us for free.However, as you could probably imagine, we didn’t want to eat any more pork. The soups and salad were good. Bathrooms were accessible and I did not check for a large print menu. Lots of space to navigate a wheel chair or a cane. Kid-friendliness: Sauce for pasta is spicy.

Disappointed no fish of the day.Nice joke, "They didn 't catch any "Only 3 Jumbo shrimp with pasta dish.Eggs Benedict was superb.

Driving into the establishment is a delight! As it is surrounded by a lot of scenic areas to walk around, sit outside, and watch the water!I like the seating how it overlooks the water and the bar area is cozy.We got the MUSHROOM TOAST- it was quite flavorless but the bread that came with it was yummy!The SMOKED BRISKET RAVIOLI had a wonderful sauce and it came with 6 so it was perfect for our table.The WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE was the winner of the appetizers! The entire table loved it.I got the ARUGULA salad with salmon on top and the grilled salmon filet was perfect! Flavorful and didn’t even need the side of lemon.We ordered the WEDGE salad and it was okay.The SUMMER BERRY SALAD had a great dressing and you cannot go wrong with it!The MUSHROOM SOUP was pretty similar to the mushroom toast just more soupy, but delicious!The biggest portions were CAPELLINI with about 4 shrimp on top, and the HALF ROASTED CHICKEN.Now the half chicken had fantastic flavor with a lot of vegetables under it. I will order it again sometime!For dessert, we got CANNOLI which was pretty big, and the CHOCOLATE TORTE which was gobbled up so quickly I wasn’t even able to sneak a bite!The snickerdoodle martini was an exact replica of a snickerdoodle.All in all, we had a great time. It was Mother’s Day at 5 pm so naturally the staff were pretty whooped by the time we got in. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed ourselves. Parking: Great area to drop people off in the front

Beautiful location, my beef was tender and so savory. They were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions. Very good waiters.
