Great New Local Restaurant - Aberdines

My husband, Tom and I recently had the pleasure of attending the VIP event at the new Aberdines restaurant, located cooperatively with El Camino just off Henry Street on Broadway in Muskegon. Keep in mind...it was game #2 of the Red Wings playoff series and although an AVID hockey fan, Tom did not hesitate missing the first period and a half of the game in order to check out a new restaurant. This lack of hesitation was further confirmed by the excellent quality of the food we received. And I quote: "this is the most tender prime rib I have ever had" I heard him say. At any rate, I encourage everyone to check it out. Great atmosphere, great food and a very friendly staff. Another top quality locally-owned restaurant in Muskegon...YEA!!!

Support another new member of the Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce by attending their official ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26th.
