Together With The V’Randa

Meet Your Go-to Waterfront Date Night Spot With $100 Dinner for 2

If a full-course meal with a side of immaculate waterfront views sounds like your kinda vibe, then The V’Randa inside Beaver Island State Park just became your next dinner date spot. It’s giving dreamy sunsets, craft drinks, and live music every weekend. And their $100 Dinner for Two deal? Absolutely worth it. You get drinks, apps, salads, entrees and dessert for two people. If you’re not doing date night here, you’re not doing it right.

Whether you’re planning a romantic night out or just need an excuse to wear something cute, The V’Randa is the move. Pro tip: Their weekly specials (hello Prime & Wine Wednesdays) make it easy to turn any night into date night.
