At first I was hoping this was the pizza joint I was looking for and was disappointed after being sat down only to realize I was at the bistro. I was a tad annoyed because I stood at the hostess table while 3-4 employees looked at me and didn't acknowledge me, typically I would leave but I had already walked all the way there. Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken entree I ordered with fingerling potatoes. It was so good yall, I didn't leave one crumb on my plate. The flavors were fantastic. read more

Enjoyed our time here. A little less busy than the spots close to the main strip. We were seated with no wait for lunch at about 1pm on a busy July Saturday. Our server was happy and talkative. Food came out quickly and was one of the best charcuterie boards, as well as hummus plates, I've ever had. Not overpriced. Lots of patio seating with ample shade from the umbrellas. Obviously great views of the water and the bikes going by on the street. Overall great experience! read more

While traveling the Upper Peninsula we took the ferry from St Ignace to Mackinac Island. Restaurants near downtown and the ferry terminal were packed so we walked more out of the crowds and found this gem. Got seated outside very quickly, excellent ambiance, and a fantastic and efficient server, Kamesha. Delicious Ahi Tuna and Chicken Cesar salads, super wine & beer and just an all around perfect, relaxing lunch. Thank you Kamesha for your exceptional service and recommendations. read more

Great location along the water, quiet and off the beaten path. Dogs allowed on the lower patio. Lovely at night to sit by the fire, and one of the night was live singing. The service is extremely friendly and quick. What tops it off- the food is really good!! We are here a few times with our group since we had dogs (and there are limited options with dogs) and it was all great! The white fish is THE BEST! Truffle fries on point. 5 latter humus - yes please! Burger really good, shrimp cooked perfectly tossed in a vinaigrette. After we got a drink to go and sat in the white chairs along the pebble beach. read more

Play a round of 18-hole mini-golf with your family and then go have a yummy lunch at Bistro on the Green! After my family played all 18-holes, we were thankful to have a fast place to get food within steps of finishing our golf game! My husband had the whitefish sandwich on a lobster roll with a side salad. Our daughter had chicken and fries. I had a burger with fries. The fries are delicious because they're actually Parmesan cheese fries but it's subtle enough that it's not overdone. The service we had with Kirstie was wonderful and she was very attentive! Definitely recommend- this was a fun lunch/game! read more

Overall, you're paying a higher price for the beautiful views and amazing atmosphere. Bistro on the Greens was perfect for my family of 5 who wanted food because we were starving, but wanted to stay away from the hoards of crowds. After walking and biking in a full day of heat, Bistro on the Greens won our dinner options simply because it was off the main road. We were seated immediately and had a table underneath an umbrella with a beautiful view of the lake. The breeze was refreshing and overall a great feel after a long day. When not looking at the lake, or sunset, you can watch ppl play putt putt ($15 btw). Overall, the food was ok. Mildly limited menu. It wasn't disappointing, just kind of basic. If you don't want to pay huge dinner prices I recommend the burger, which was large and came with chips, perfect if youre super hungry. The chips are delicious and are kettle chips that are very lightly salted. two at our table got the whitefish, which was just fine but not outstanding. The downside to this location is the speed of service. It took a while for us to get waters and it took a very long time for our food. We weren't in rush but we were hungry and we had to wait a long time. read more

Came here for happy hour 8-10pm--they have 50% off all apps and 1$ off draft beers! We had great views of the water, service, and live music. The food was really good (we loved the truffle fries and mussels!). And the deck was doggo friendly! We had a great time! read more

Great place to stop if you've visiting Mackinac Island! It's sits looking over a putting green and the beautiful lake. The vibe from a far pulled us in to have lunch here! It was quite the busy holiday weekend so the place was packed. We had a large group, eight of us, so we put our name in on the waitlist and grabbed some cocktails at the bar. I very much enjoyed my Watermelon Elderflower Cooler (vodka, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, fresh lime, and watermelon)! We had a doggy with us, who unfortunately wasn't allowed near the bar, but was certainly welcomed to join us when we were sat at our table. Our server was honestly the best. So happy, talkative, attentive and helpful. Being from Turkey, he had returned to the island for another summer of work. Six stars for him! I ended up ordering the Garden Sandwich, which was cilantro-jalapeno hummus spread, lettuce, marinated tomato, red onion, red pepper, feta cheese, and bean sprouts in a pita fold. It was delicious! Everyone's food came out quickly, and all seemed to enjoy their meals. I'll have to return back to sample some more of their fresh signature cocktails! read more

This place is ok. On the positive side, it is an amazing location. Beautiful views and frankly worth a visit based on that alone. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating! Kids eat free if staying at mission point. The food is just ok. My wife requested a burger medium. It came well done and was dry. I ordered the steak (medium rare) and frites because I was craving beef, and it was the first day of our vacation. The steak was grisly and chewing. I'm not going to blame the chef because it clearly says flat iron steak. That cut comes from the chuck with fatty membranes running through it. I don't think I would have ordered it if I payed attention to the cut. If that cut is your thing, maybe you would enjoy. On the bright side, fries were crispy. I thought the calamari was great with a nice dipping sauce. Crisp. Not too much breading. It was the best bite of the meal. My daughters enjoyed their chicken strips and cheeseburger. Again, the staff and view make this place. Our server was great, and all employees work hard to be friendly. I probably need to go back and try something else. I would not order the steak. I would definitely recommend for enjoying the view with adult drinks and appetizers. read more

Great food I had a gyro and my husband had a white fish sandwich. Both delicious. The service was top-notch Oleen what is our server and she was delightful. Told us a little bit about the restaurant and the history and was charming. The ambience was incredible. My husband who never says much about Settings said he felt like he was in a picture. It was so beautiful. I would definitely recommend this to anybody visiting the island. read more

The place has the potential for so much more. They have a patio area overlooking a mini golf course and a lawn area where people were flying kites. It is very scenic and a great place to grab some drinks, but only drinks. The drinks menu is twice the size of the food menu and there isn't much to eat there. Knocking one star for the lack of food choices, truffle fries were great though! read more

The views here are breathtaking but the food was mediocre. We were staying at Mission Point, and were told kids under 12 eat free. What they forget to tell you, is that they eat free but only from the kid menu, the portion sizes on that menu are good for five year olds. My eleven year old boy ended up ordering another adult entree. We both opted for burgers with a side salad. The burgers were ok, the salad came drenched in some kind of sweet vinegary dressing. The "salad" is just lettuce. We did enjoy interacting with our servers, most of them are from Jamaica and bring a fun fresh vibe to their jobs. I totally agree with another yelper here, it's a great place for a drink ...maybe even an appetizer but there are better places for a meal on the island. read more

After an evening stroll around the town of Mackinac, we found ourselves rather thirsty and saw this unassuming little patio bistro serving cocktails. Keeping up with the theme of the island, we got the lilac lemon drop martini and falling in lilac cocktail. Both drinks were well strong and fragrant. They also had half off appetizers from 8pm to 10 pm, so why not indulge! We got the hummus platter and the mussels marinieres. The hummus had great variety and flavor. The only qualm I have is that it is lacking in more pita bread. 6 little pieces is def not enough to lap it all up. My personal favorite was the mussels! They were perfect amounts of fresh and briney. Just the right amount of umami with a creamy finish. The best part was the lil bit of soup left over after the mussels perfect for lapping up. With the gorgeous views, great service, and good drinks, what more can you ask for? Now I was not able to try the mains so for now, the stars will stay a 4. read more

Bistro On the Green - Cauliflower Frito - New American Near Me - Mackinac Island, Michigan

This is one of those restaurants in which you know where you're paying for the view and only the view. Therefore there's no urge to increase the quality of the food. Our server, Jana, was great, but then she had this weird assistant, who seemed to butt into our service. It didn't make sense who this second waitress was or why Jana even needed an assistant. The second lady seemed overbearing. My table was full of burger orders that were overcooked. Those were some expensive overcooked burgers that weren't even made correctly. Mine had bacon, and others didn't despite it being ordered. +$14 burger +$5 egg +$2 bacon The whitefish fish sandwich was well done, the sauce was delicious, but the ingredient to bread ratio was ridic. The top of the ciabatta bread was the same size as the rest of the sandwich. I just ate it open faced. My phone died, so no pictures. Only fries that's were lacking in volume. Alcohol was decent. Everyone else got beer, but I got the hibiscus lemonade cocktail. All the simple syrup was at the bottom. Tdlr: since I'm such a foodie, this was one of the worst $65 meals ever. read more

The highlight of our dining here was the drinks, the views and our friendly and entertaining server. Sadly, it was not the food. I ordered the lobster roll and the bread was cold and the lobster was very fishy tasting and smelling. I prefer a toasted roll. My husband's burger was much better. For the price we paid for three sandwiches and three drinks, it could have tasted better. But the views are spectacular and I enjoyed a lavender lemonade hibiscus cocktail. Pet friendly seating is a nice option on the lower deck area. read more

The location and atmosphere is beautiful and I'd say one of the nicest on the island. The lavender drink was delicious and so was the vegetable curry! The burger came out a little bloody and the salad was dry and a little bland, but that was quickly fixed by our waitress. read more

We went on the 4th of July and were seated very quickly. The view was very nice and the music was good too, overall great atmosphere. However I got the chicken ceasar salad and it was very bad. The dressing was off and the chicken was extremely dry. It reminded me of reheated frozen grilled chicken. I also ordered a margarita and it tasted like straight tequila, so I ordered a lakeshore lemonade and it was also extremely strong. Our waiter also did a poor job of attending to us, by only coming by 3 times the entire time, our drinks ran empty multiple times. I wouldn't eat here again. read more

Great outdoor dining overlooking the putting course. Expensive, but yummy food with friendly servers from around the world.

Had a wonderful time here on a sunny afternoon on the island. Five highlights come to mind: First--We had our puppy with us who (unbeknownst to us prior to this trip) barks like a wild dog at horses so most eateries weren't a good fit for us given the number of horses that would go by. Luckily the Bistro, with it's patio seating by the water, afforded us a lovely view down a slope where he couldn't quite see the ponies passing by. Two? Great cocktails. I had a summery, fruity, light bevvy recommended by our waitress and it was perfect on a warm day. Three? The awesome waitress. I wish I could remember her name but she was amazing. A very friendly Jamaican woman who chatted about all things music with my reggae and soul music loving boyfriend. Very helpful (she charged our dead phones for us in the back too) and had great menu suggestions. Even brought our pup a bowl of water. Four-- the food. Not earth shattering but very good small plates for sharing for a late lunch/early dinner. We split the heirloom tomato salad, the Michigan greens salad, truffle fries, pan seared trout, and the pulled pork sandwich and it was all quite good. Plates aren't huge and we were starving after a 9 mile bike ride around the island so this was a perfect amount of food. Five--the view. Did I mention the lovely view of the water? Also, it's right on the edge of their mini golf course so the grass/view around was also fun and lovingly manicured. All in all a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, indeed. Pro tip: an outdoor restaurant only so not open during inclement weather or cooler seasons. read more

Gorgeous location. Food is good. Kids eat free if staying at mission point. The putting course is great!

This pace was beautiful and tranquil the food was tasteful and we'll presented the staff was wonderful and very polite as well. The selection was a little thin for my taste but over all a very well maintained establishment it was not overly priced as some people have said the portions could be a little more. But it is a bistro which means in between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. This place gets 4 stars from me on quality cleanliness and over all great environment the restrooms are very clean as well. I would have given 5 but lack of selection is what caused that loss. read more

This was a cute little spot near our hotel grounds at Mission Point. We were seated very quickly and the server had a great vibe. She took the kids orders first which I understand because they knew what they wanted, but their food came out super quick and ours came out so late that the kids were already done eating so we had to figure out how to entertain them so we could eat our food. The food tasted great, was made fresh and the drinks were also good. Overall I'd definitely come back here since the food was good and the ambiance was gorgeous but I'd definitely ask them to bring out all our food together next time. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Bistro on the Green. The food was very good, the scenery was great, but the real star of the evening was the server - Freya.

Honestly, you're not here for the food - you're here for the view. The view of the lake, the green, the garden, the ponds, the people, etc. It's gorgeous here. The food is ok to good but if this place were in a strip mall somewhere you wouldn't be here. And that's ok - you're on an island in northern Lake Huron, a fairly remotely place. Focus on the strengths of the location and not the weaknesses. read more

Worth it just for the atmosphere!!! It's away from all the hustle and bustle of the main street stuff and just so peaceful. We snagged lunch here and it was lovely. I had the Salmon plate which I devoured happily and my husband had the Buffalo Burger.

Other than that it was great service and honestly just the atmosphere makes it so nice. Great view! read more
