The food and atmosphere were delicious. We like booths and were seated in one of those round ones at the back. The decor was pretty with colored lights for the holidays. I felt a little cramped in the booth but my husband, who’s taller, was fine. My Mediterranean Pasta was delicious, but unfortunately, most of the artichoke pieces were too tough or sharp. If it wasn’t for that, it would have been a favorite. I ordered it with shrimp, which were perfect. My husband liked his Michigan trout, mashed potatoes and salad. We shared a triple chocolate cheesecake that was worth every calorie. Yum. Their desserts are made there from scratch, I believe.

One of my absolute favorite places to walk and visit. I call it heaven on Earth. Every season is beautiful here. We’ve loved Shakespeare in the Arb over the years, the magnificent peony garden in June, and so many other activities over the years. The Heathdale is my personal favorite spot. It’s incredible to have woods, prairies, trails, the river amid the hustle and bustle of campus to feed the soul.
