Manor on Glen Lake gets new chef

From staff reports

Ronald Leroy Bialy returned in mid-April to Glen Arbor to be new head chef at the Manor on Glen Lake, 32 years after he worked at Le Bear restaurant (which is now Le Bear Resort). This spring the Manor has new floors, new amenities, and an enhanced American bistro-style menu that focuses on ribs, steaks, specialty potatoes, salads and homemade dressings. Bialy has worked in the past for Harrington’s By the Bay and Sorrellina in Traverse City and the former Jack’s Glen Lake Inn in Burdickville. He began visiting this area as a Cub Scout at Camp Greilickville 56 years ago.

Bialy doesn’t think Glen Arbor has changed much in that time. “It still has that wonderful, peaceful country feel that I remembered when I first came up here. The Manor shows a piece of America with its turn-of-the-century building. It’s like seeing a beautiful red barn and remembering it your whole life. It has kept its elegance through all these years.”
