    Our first trip to Mackinac and we chose well for dinner. We had a late reservation so once seated we were informed the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes so we had to quickly put in our order. We quickly decided what we wanted and were so happy with our selection. My husband had the lamb chop special and it was fall off the bone good. My chopped salad was perfect. We enjoyed a nice Syrah and had a table near the front window with a gorgeous view of the lake and marina. Highly recommend!

    The food is very good. I think better than Ruth Chris. The music was a nice touch and he is very talented. Service, William, spot on. Highly recommend.
