Good questions.
The stuff people usually ask before or after their first visit.
Do you take reservations?
Yes, we accept reservations and recommend them for weekend evenings and larger parties. You can reserve a table through our website or by calling the restaurant directly. Walk-ins are always welcome and we do our best to seat everyone, but a reservation guarantees your spot.
Is the patio open year-round?
The patio is seasonal and typically open from May through October, depending on weather. It's the best seat in Suttons Bay when the weather cooperates — steps from the water with views you won't find anywhere else in town.
Is the patio heated or covered?
The patio has partial coverage and heating for cooler evenings. On a chilly night in northern Michigan, you'll still be comfortable. We'll let you know about conditions when you arrive or when you make your reservation.
Do you have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
Yes, we have options for both. Our menu includes dishes that are naturally gluten-free and several vegetarian plates. Your server can walk you through what works for your dietary needs — just ask. We take allergies seriously.
Can I book a private event?
Absolutely. Cantina TwentyTwo offers semi-private dining, full buyouts, and bar-top group reservations. Whether it's a birthday, rehearsal dinner, or corporate gathering, we'll work with you to make it happen. Visit our Private Events page or reach out directly to get started.
What nights have programming?
We currently run Bourbon Wednesday, Tequila Thursday, and Industry Sunday every week. Each night has its own specials and personality. Check our Events page for the latest weekly schedule and any one-off events coming up.
Is there happy hour?
Yes. Happy hour runs on select days with featured pricing on cocktails, beer, and bar snacks. Check the menu page or ask your server for the current happy hour schedule and what's on special.
Can I order online?
Yes, online ordering is available through our website. Click the Order Online button in the navigation to place a pickup order through our Toast ordering system. The full menu is available for online orders during regular hours.
Are kids welcome?
Yes, kids are welcome at Cantina TwentyTwo. We're a full-service restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere that works for families, especially earlier in the evening. The menu has options that work for younger guests, and the patio is a great spot for families.
Where do I park?
There is street parking available along the main road in Suttons Bay, and a public lot within walking distance of the restaurant. During peak summer weekends, arriving a few minutes early helps. We're a small town — nothing is far.
