  We stayed at the Red Lion Motor Lodge and this appeared to be the closest restaurant. I never really saw a sign showing "22 Vines & Wines"; It's just a big building that looks like a barn was incorporated with a welcoming porch.  Very nice looking, with a parking lot that has a huge WINE TASTING sign, and a few other signs, but none that show you the name of the restaurant.
  
  Nice, wooden accomodations on the inside.  Beer cooler with a decent selection of Michigan beers in sixers.  I didn't ask if these were to go or not.  Around 6-8 taps of beer as well. I got two Shorts beers that were served in a frosted mug.  I was shocked by this, as Michigan's craft beer culture is usually way ahead in this regard. The mugs were not full pints.
  
  Interesting combination of Thai food and pizza.  Our table had both, and they were able to adjust the curry dish to be vegan.  I had the Pad Thai, which was different than other Pad Thai I've had.  The noodles were thicker, kind of like egg noodles.  It was still delicious.  I went for medium; that had a nice level of spice, but I probably could have gotten the hot version and been a little happier. I just had it with the chicken, not shrimp.
  
  Pizza looked good and fed one adult and a fourteen-year old child.  The entire pizza was consumed on site.

  Terrible experience. We called ahead to ensure vegan options and were told "everything on the menu can be made vegan". Once we were there we were told that only one curry could, the rest had fish sauce. We had 4 young kids and asked for any non-spicy noodles with veggies and tofu and no fish sauce. They brought out a tiny plate of completely plain noodles (well after the adult meals arrived) for all 4 kids and told us we could add our own veggies and tofu (but didn't bring us either?!?) They eventually added tofu and veggies (no sauce) but it was far too little for 4 kids and people left to find food to make at home.
  The waitstaff and manager did not have a desire to make things right and seemed to blame us for our super uncomplicated "special order".
  On a side note, the veg and non/veg orders were not good. The green curry had giant chunks of ginger and lemon grass that needed to be spit out. The flavor was fine, but it was executed poorly.
  Would avoid this place.

  If I impress upon you nothing else in this world, it would be to get the Thai Coconut Seafood Soup here -- and to split with a friend.
  
  Huge mussels, fresh seafood, tangy coconut broth. Sublime.
  
  The Green Thai Curry Chicken is also quite wonderful, as are the Spring Rolls -- but nothing beats that seafood soup by a mile. So, so good.
  
  Pro-tip: if you go at 3:30 (right when they open for dinner) you'll likely be treated to the freshest fare of the evening as they get the kitching going. This was accidental in timing as we'd forgotten to eat lunch in TC -- but quite a nice bonus.
  
  SEAFOOD SOUP. A must.

  T-H-E best pad thai! This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Traverse City area. The owner, Rich, is always working behind the bar and waiting on tables and his wife, Salve, cooks the food! She is from the Philippines and makes some of the best authentic pad thai I've found. I also love her spring rolls, flat bread pizzas, and fish tacos. Yes, an interesting mix of food, but they are all great! You can also pick up Michigan wine in the deli/store that is attached.

  The Thai here was wonderful! For it offering both Thai and pizza, this place delivers. Their fish tacos were excellent and their soup and curry was just as good! Their spice runs on the mild side but that is no reason to discredit them. Their pizza even is cornmeal crusted. Very delicious. If this area is close by I highly recommend it!
