    Love love LOVE this place! The staff were amazing and so attentive to us. The food was amazing and so flavorful. I will for sure come back here next year when we stay at the hotel!

    We had the most amazing time at the 1852 grill room during our stay on Mackinac. The service was excellent as well as the food! We enjoyed the appetizer, entree, and dessert we had. The view was also beautiful of the lake/harbor. We would definitely return.

    We had a very nice dinner at this beautiful restaurant. The seating offers great views out the large windows of the historic hotel. Our food was very good, though the side dishes were a bit tepid. Service was spotty. Our server would simply disappear. Our initial drinks took a long time to come. We were well through our appetizers before our cocktails showed up. Overall, a good meal but we left with a hit-and-miss impression.

    We had breakfast and dinner at this restaurant. I'd recommend this place. It was spendy but so worth it. You could tell that the price was what you were paying for. Breakfast was good. The avocado toast and fruit plate (I didn't take a picture of) was more money than it should've been. The service was so attentive and friendly. Overall highly recommend if you're staying at the island house hotel.

    Perfect choice for a special occasion!The view is spectacular, the food is delicious with colorful presentation, and the wait staff is attentive and prompt without smothering you. I ordered the ahi tuna appetizer, fresh gazpacho, and key lime pie. The piano bar was a nice touch. The tab (including wine) was $150 for two which was a pleasant surprise.

    Had a wonderful dinner at 1852 Grill last Sunday. We were part of a small tour group, and they seated us close together, tho not at one table, which was OK since we were still getting to know each other. Waiters were very attentive Started with a wonderful martini and my rife had a glass of Chardonnay, delicious! House salad was next, nice and fresh, also delicious. For our mains, I had their Prime Rib rare, an excellent cut of meat, perfectly pink to my liking. Served with a side of delicious mashed potatoes. My wife had their freshly caught whitefish from Lake Huron, light breading served with a side of asparagus. Absolutely delicious! We finished with sampling of their deserts along with expresso. Fantastic meal, wonderful setting, highly recommend!

    Of all the places we ate at on Mackinac Island, this was hands down my favorite! First of all, the atmosphere and view were incredibly beautiful. We also had a very friendly and polite waitress. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled shrimp, corn, watermelon, and burrata with lemon basil vinaigrette: it was very light, refreshing, and delicious. The flavors complemented each other very well. My dad and brother really enjoyed the beef tartare they ordered. It had many components that worked well together. Entrees: - Macadamia crusted Chilean sea bass with pineapple salsa and Parmesan risotto: it had a delicious, nutty, buttery crust on the outside of the fish. The fish was cooked perfectly and flaked apart. It was a huge portion! - Dover sole: served with a nutty brown butter with green beans on top of hash browns. It too was delicious and cooked perfectly. - Walleye: tasted very fresh and flavorful. - Seafood linguine with clam sauce: it was filled with fresh seafood and a rich clam sauce. My mom really enjoyed it, but found it to be a little salty. Dessert: we got the ice cream cookie sandwich to share, which looked incredible. Unfortunately, I did find it to be overly sweet. I don't think I'd order it again. Yes, this place is pricy. But if you're on the island, this is a must visit!

    This is a must-do for an excellent dining experience at Mackinac Island. The wine list and dining choices were wonderful and we really enjoyed the fresh fish. The pianist was exceptional and we saw that he played by ear with no music sheets. The views were also enjoyable and scenic and the chairs outside made for a more relaxing time.

The wait was about 15-20 minutes - so much better of a wait time! I like the theme and vibe of the place - the play on bikes and name of the restaurant is perfect. Decor is bike themed but not overly done. Rustic and laid back. Our waitress was excellent - very friendly and attentive. All staff were wearing masks. Good drink menu in addition to food. A lot of small plate options but the portion sizes of the small plates could feed at least 2-4 people. I went with sweet potato fries and steak tender bites - delicious! The dipping sauces for the fries had three different options - sweet/savory, loved trying each one. The sweet potato fries were not mushy and had a good crunch. The steak was cooked to perfection - I asked for medium and I got medium! Everyone seemed happy with their food. Restrooms were downstairs. Nice dining option in the city - only con there was no outdoor seating. Picking up on social media - looks like this place used to be Huron St. Pub & Grill not sure if it was a re-branding or new owners. Either way, I hope Broken Spoke is here to stay on the island!

He even wished my mom a happy Mother's Day before taking our order, which was a nice touch. We started with the Street Corn Nachos as an appetizer, then ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, both with fries on the side (an additional $4 each). This was an excellent place to bring my mom since she's vegetarian, and the restaurant had plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. The food was excellent, especially the nachos -- the queso was amazing. The restaurant also gives you a lot of customization options, like swapping chips for fries for an extra $4 or adding protein to the nachos for an additional charge. That said, while the nachos were really good, they were still $18 without any protein, which honestly felt overpriced for chips, cheese, and vegetables. We came during lunch service, and overall the food, service, and view made for a great experience. However, it is definitely on the expensive side. Most entrees seemed to range from around $20-30. Still, if you're willing to spend a little more for quality food, generous portions, and a great atmosphere, it's definitely worth visiting.

I had to look at my photos in order to remember our meal. That's not to say it was bad. Not at all! Just that the only thing I remember is that the prices are slightly higher than I think they should be. (Although, that seems to be the case at every restaurant on Mackinac Island. They have you trapped, and they know it.) We started with the smoked whitefish dip, which is a popular thing in this part of Michigan. It came piping hot with melted cheese on it, and served with crispy pita chips and crostini. I'm glad I tried it! I love me a good meatloaf sandwich, so when I saw meatloaf sliders in the menu, I had to get them. These sliders are made with pretzel buns, which are not my favorite because I feel like they're never soft enough. A nice white bun would have been so much better. I got a side Caesar salad, and it was fine. We also ordered a chicken tenders basket, the Low Carb Platter (just a cheeseburger without a bun and a side of cottage cheese), and a kids' cheeseburger. They do have a kids menu here -- just ask. Millie's gets very busy! We had to wait almost 30 minutes for a table. But it's centrally located in the middle of downtown Mackinac, so I wouldn't expect anything less.

This bar is at the top of the Grand Hotel. You do have to take two sets of stairs to get to it. I didn't see an elevator that would get there all the way up there. But if you're able, get there. There are two levels to this bar so maybe the first level is attainable with accessibility and then the top level might not be. Check ahead. This bar is absolutely gorgeous!!! There is a large or dare I say "grand" Chihuly glass chandelier hanging from the center from the upper section to the lower section, so it can be seen from both floors of this small but beautiful bar. We walked into the lower level first and the bartender immediately turned to us with a great big smile and welcomed us to the bar and asked if we wanted anything to drink. The wallpaper on this bar is light and beautiful and big windows look out over the ground towards Lake Huron. I was mesmerized immediately. Then we went upstairs to the upper level and there are 180° views of equally big clean windows at a beautiful sunny day outside was just breathtaking. We sat at a table and a server came over quickly and offered us cocktails and welcomed us to the bar. The service was kind of like being at Disney with impeccable service. I had the Machiatto Martini, and my aunt had a glass of rosé. The macchiato martini had Van Gogh double espresso vodka, Dorda sea salt, caramel, Dorda double chocolate, Frangelico, Amaretto, and Baileys. It was visually, stimulating and delicate and sweet and rich, as expected. I may try to make these at home - ha ha!! The views were spectacular and there was light acoustic guitar music playing on speakers, but not too loud and just a nice place to be in the moment at this magical hotel and have a cocktail either to end the day or end your time at the hotel. I'll never forget it.
