    We’ve been to Mackinac island over 50 times in 60 years The food and service has only improved. 1852 prides itself on the best location food and cocktails. Well deserved. We had the perch and whitefish. Both superb. Serving staff is well trained and gracious and from all over the world. The old fashioneds are addictive. Highly recommended.

    Everything from our Honeymoon booth to the exceptional service by Kathleen to the appetizer and dinner were the best we had on the island (and yes we had several great meals this was by far the best all the way around). We will always be back
