The restaurant was very relaxing and a nice of change of scenery from the business of Mackinac island. The red peas soup was very flavorful and hearty. It was perfect for the cold day we had. The smoked fish dip was delicious and we ate the entire bowl which was huge. The jerk chicken I recommend getting the sauce on the side. The sauce is delicious but very spicy. It works better if you dip the chicken in it instead of having it lathered all over the chicken. The rum flight was tasty but we had to drink slowly as it was very strong. Overall highly recommend

The fries were also golden perfection. My partner and I ended up eating the whole plate. This is the item to order if you come here - easily 5/5. Beware very popular with no reservations - recommend arriving promptly at 5:00 to put your name in or you'll have to wait.

The patty was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and somehow she still managed to have room for dessert. Kids are magical like that. My husband and I both ordered the pan-fried whitefish because, come on... you're on Mackinac Island. You have to. The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly cooked with a light, crispy crust that let the flavor of the whitefish shine. Exactly what we were hoping for. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels like the perfect place to recharge before heading back out to explore the island. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're visiting Mackinac, don't overthink it. Order the whitefish, steal a fry from whoever you're eating with (it's vacation, calories are on island time), and enjoy a great meal.

We ordered the white fish and the steak to share. We added the 2nd filet of fish and it was a great mistake because it was so delicious, a mistake because it was SO MUCH FOOD. It was crusted in pistachio and served with Parmesan whipped mashed potatoes- oh my goodness so good. The steak - oh my gawd the steak. So tender so juicy so perfectly cooked and seasoned we were having eyes rolling moments more often than one should have while eating a steak. Unbelievable. Slow clap.

The cottage fries (home fries) were pretty perfect though! *AVOCADO TOAST (sourdough, radish, goat cheese, tomato, lemon evoo, everything bagel spice) - the sourdough here is really lovely. thick pieces but not cut-your-mouth-craggy. I enjoyed it! But it is a pretty basic avo toast. *PUMPKIN PANCAKES - I asked if I could order just ONE and they let me!! The syrup came out piping hot, which was amaazzing. It was the perfect fall bite. We were in and out in ~20-25 minutes - just in time to board the carriage! I wish we had more time to enjoy the wonderful view. Next time!

I was worried there would be a long wait, as it's a small spot, but Nate and I could grab a seat at the bar right away for a late lunch. The bartender was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her. I got a featured sangria with pear vodka which was delicious and refreshing. Their taps were out of order, but they have plenty of canned and bottled options. The fish and chips came with two large filets and plenty of fries. I even liked the coleslaw, which I normally don't really love. The batter was a bit thick for my taste but the fish was flaky and not dry. Nate got the waldorf salad, which was huge and had tons of toppings and a nice portion of grilled chicken. The space is quite small so I don't think this place would be great if you have a stroller or anyone in a wheelchair. I'm glad we checked it out and would come back - some of the other dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked great, like the fried mac and cheese and the Reuben!
