What is the Most Charming Restaurant in Michigan?

One of the most charming restaurants in America is right here in Michigan, and the top pick for LoveFood is just minutes from Flint. The Fed in Clarkston is an absolute gem that delivers a delightful mix of history and modern elegance. Housed in the former Jossman State Bank built at the turn of the century, this bistro maintains its historical roots with a stunning vault dining room, original architecture, chic decor not to mention a fabulous menu. Here's what LoveFood had to say;

"The Fed, housed in a former bank building, is a modern, super-cool restaurant with plenty of charm. The interiors feature rustic hanging lights, cozy armchairs, furry throws, open shelving, and colorful rugs. There are even two private dining rooms within the old bank vaults. The menu changes constantly, with popular past items including tempura tuna rolls and red snapper ceviche. There's live music every Friday and Saturday night."

 

The Fed was not only Michigan's top pick but also ranked #42 for the country on the list.

Whether it’s the ambiance, the rich history, or the thoughtful details that set the tone, these dining spots invite you to savor not just the food, but the entire experience. Be sure to make the short drive to Main Street in Clarkston for an exquisite dining experience at The Fed.
