Borrowed Time

Although the portions are small, the flavor really packs a punch. Our favorites were the Brie tart, the broccoli lo mein, and the bison picadillo. This seared ahi tuna was delicious. The crabcake was good, but $20 is a hefty price to pay for one crabcake. The fall pasta was probably our least favorite because of the whipped ricotta, which was a bit pungent and overpowered the other flavors. Service is excellent. The environment is quaint and colorful. Overall, I recommend dining here.

Best meal I've had in years. Pernil and Summer Salad. Perfect service from Robert. His timing and anticipation of guest needs was on point. He is great at reading individual guest needs. He provided personalized and detailed recommendations to people who he could tell wanted that, and customized service for others like myself who didn't need as much interaction.

We happened to be in the area and decided to drop in for dinner. Everything on the menu is offered via share plate experience (which is one of our favorite ways to dine). We started out with the deviled eggs and the mushroom toast and I got a refreshing cocktail “Spanish G&T”. Then we ordered the Lamb Lollipops, the Crab Cake, and also the Skirt Steak. Everything was SO GOOD! My cocktail was refreshing and botanical and who doesn’t love a gorgeous purplish-pink cocktail? We then finished up with a Smoked Tiramisu. Every dish was flavor-forward and every single bite had us reaching for more! My husband said that the skirt steak was the best he’s ever had… perfect texture and flavor. You can tell that every dish was created with skill and intention with flavor in mind. We can’t wait to come back here again!

Our first time here! We really enjoyed the shareable plates because it gave us a chance to sample a variety. We had the brussel sprouts, lobster gnocchi (our fave of the evening), bison meatballs, and pork belly. Of course we saved room for dessert too, for which we ordered an apple cake with peanut butter frosting. Staff was very friendly and attentive, and overall a great experience!

Wonderful experience! The food was so well thought out, presented, and tasted superb. I do have a soft spot for tapas (small plates) style restaurants because the conversation at the table comes so easily when you’re sharing the same bites of food. This restaurant did all of their dishes exceptionally well. Our favorites were the mushroom larb, roasted beets, and the olive cake with blueberries. Their menu sounds like it changes frequently so put this on your list to come back again and again. I know I will! Also, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the restrooms were clean.

This is truly a gem in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. We were in town for a friends reunion trip and made a reservation for a Saturday lunch, but unfortunately had to cancel due to a medical emergency. The Borrowed Time staff very kindly offered to move our reservation to lunch the next day, which we happily accepted. The staff and service at Borrowed Time was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered one of everything on the menu, as well as several of the specialty cocktails, and everything exceeded our expectations. Although the menu is seasonal and changes, some of my favorite items from our meal were the mushroom larb and the pork belly. If you're looking for a restaurant, don't miss Borrowed Time - it was the best restaurant meal we had during our trip!

The food was phenomenal. The Lamb and the seared tuna special blew our minds. Everything else was great as well. Our server was just awesome-She had great recommendations and and I'm pretty sure she was holding down just about every other table on the patio✊ -My wife loved the wine and they actually had a good na beer! Can't wait to go back.
