Exquisite French Fine Dining Experience in Ellsworth, MI

The Rowe Inn in Ellsworth, MI is dedicated to providing every guest with a superior fine dining experience and amazing service. We touch people through our passion for the food and wine we serve.

Albert “Wes” Westhoven, our proprietor, began our journey in 1972 when he purchased a quaint family diner. He then introduced simple concepts: the ambiance of a French country inn, fresh local ingredients, French techniques, and casual dining.

Our meals are prepared with the freshest locally produced ingredients when possible. This includes Michigan’s morel mushrooms whenever they are available.

We also take pride in our collection of fine wines. You may purchase a bottle at your dinner table or take one with you as a retail sale.

We are open Tuesday-Sunday from 5:00p-9:00p and reservations are recommended.

Las Maracas is excited to bring their Mexican food and flare to the East Jordan restaurant scene!

And you can enjoy your favorite domestic beers and Mexican cervezas along with your authentic Mexican food!
