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

We were seated with a great view of the docks, where you could see all the ferry boats delivering new visitors to the island. The French onion soup was OUTSTANDING!

The table service was excellent and other than Jackson coming back a little quick for the check, it was a fabulous dining experience.

The white fish sandwich…read morewas a disappointment, the focaccia was cold and I feel it would've been better toasted, the fish itself didn't look fresh or appealing really and lacked in flavor overall. The side dish with that was a carrot slaw of some kind with a ton of raisins, not crazy about that, dry bland and too sweet for the dish in my opinion. The Greek salad was fantastic, jam packed with fresh lettuce veggies and very filling. The mocktail was refreshing. The patio here is fantastic and the aesthetic is adorable every preppy girls dream for indoor and outdoor dining.

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.

Our server was excellent- very thoughtful and attentive. We shared the soup of the day (chicken and wild rice) and fresh whitefish chowder. The chicken soup reminded me of a soup you have when you have a cold and make some fresh soup at home. The chowder did not have much of a fish flavor. Our entire table devoured the whipped goat cheese with pepper jam and the fried green beans, however, there were mixed reviews on the beef pastie. All in all we really enjoyed our meal here; it was the perfect casual stop for us on our trip.

It's been awhile since we've experienced some food like this, shout out to our tour guide for the recommendation because yall we stuffed our face with goodness. 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. And don't even get me started on their in house Crème brûlée - typically not my favorite dessert but oh man this was perfect.

So we were staying on the property and my wife was not really into the place (I should have gone…read morewith her intuition). We arrived early and were greeted pleasantly and were told to have a seat in the lounge so we did the restaurant was less than 1/4 full. We were handed 3 menus one was an appetizer menu. After waiting for some time and standing at the bar we were told we could only order drinks. So we went with it. At 7:28 I went back to the host stand where I where I waited for about 5 minutes finally the hostess reappeared and had no idea. So she seated us in the nose bleed section instead of offering us one of the really nice views. Then the real fun started... nothing for my 8 year old son. We were told we can't do anything for kids the suggestion was crab legs (wow). So he ordered a "Chianti signature Caesar" thinking it's pretty hard to mess up a Caesar Salad (was I wrong). It was dried out and the very bottom of the Roman almost at the base, if not the base. The dressing lacked flavor. On top of that the waiter never asked my son what he wanted to drink. My wife had the beet salad and she said it was good. When seated the waiter told us about the chef parring and I was kinda excited to try a few different things. When I went to order the chef's paring I was told the whole table had to do so. Even though I was told everything was fresh and prepared in house. The waiter pointed to the menu and it was presented differently from the menu which seemed a little sketchy especially for $125 per person. So to be clear if your whole table orders the chef's tasting you're good. If not, no bueno. The main courses were good. The sea bass was really good. The dry aged steak was well seasoned and even though I like things a little more rare some spots were purple. My son got the wagyu which was ordered medium and was closer to rare. The potatoes were amazing and so was the sauce. All and all 1/2 the servers were good and came to check on us. The main courses beef and sea bass and beet salad were pretty tasty and good. Prices aren't terrible for a tourist trap. The GM kept checking on us. In the end we got 2 desserts the apple and the opera cake both were outstanding. The had a piano player was excellent and made for a nice ambience. I think there were some really new people that weren't really sure on what to do or about customer service. The Bartender seemed very frustrated, almost like it was his first night. The hostess was completely lost and in over her head. For a high-end restaurant and very few customers this place should've ran like a well oiled sewing machine.

A minor complaint: the dining room is VAST with high ceilings and a mezzanine of circulation from the main hotel, so a lot of people pass by and look down on the dining area, creating a less than intimate feel for a fine dining meal.

The required dress code makes it an elevated experience, and the staff are all so attentive and on top of things. We opted for the dining package that includes breakfast and dinner, so we enjoyed several meals here. Each night features a different menu for the dinner: red, green, or yellow. The dinners are five courses and you are encouraged to choose an item for each course, but you don't have to (many of the kids in our party only ordered appetizers and mains). On the first night, I had shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, herb-crusted prime rib, and the German chocolate cake. The prime rib was my favorite although it was a bit too salty. The second night I opted for the butter poached lobster roll, tuscan sausage and kale soup, little gem Caesar, crab crusted walleye, and the famous pecan ball for dessert. My favorite was the lobster roll - it was a small portion, but so delicious and the lobster was perfectly cooked. Overall, the dinner food was all good to very good. Seasoned pretty well, cooked nicely, and super impressive with the mass quantities of food that they put out every single day. The dinners took two hours, but I never felt that the pacing was off and things moved along well. We also dined here for breakfast twice - they have a breakfast buffet as well as an a la carte menu which is included. I enjoyed the egg white bowl for breakfast one morning, and then the buffet the next day. I do wish there were some kind of vegetables/veggie dishes on the breakfast buffet but that's just me.
