Delicious food in a beautiful, quiet location. We ate on the patio and were quite comfortable. A little more than what we would typically spend on dinner, but a wonderful experience overall.

When I booked the reservation I did not imagine our hostess would try and cram us in the most awkward and tiny table at the restaurant. I couldn’t even get my leg into the chair. After a while we were moved to another area but the entire situation put a damper on what was to be a lovely evening. Our waitress was great, food was decent and having to need to move tables only one of the two of us could see the view. We come up to Mackinac Island every year and had not eaten at the Carriage House yet, we will continue to stick to eating at the Woods instead.

Food was very good but not exceptional. Service was 3* . Dinner was served in an appropriate time but Dessert was delayed to arrive but good. There were 6 of us… 2 bottles of wine, 4 cocktails, 2 shared desserts. Just over $1000. Had better food for the amount spent.

Wonderful food and service as well as atmosphere. Only criticism was when we arrived, the hostess (young woman) could have been more inviting and cordial. She was young and might need to be coached by management to realize that the first appearances and greetings make all the difference!

Reserved this weeks in advance to be told that a table for two next to us but on the rail and better view was reserved. We had entire meal and left without that same table ever being used, in fact they cleared the table setting as we were paying bill. Food was ok but overpriced, service was great. I had lamb chop special which was over cooked and my wife had the scallops off the menu which were fantastic. Portions were surprisingly large for such a high end restaurant- usually we prefer quality over quantity but this place had a bit of both.

We eat at Carriage House whenever we visit Mackinaw Island.The food is always spectacular and the dining room is lovely, overlooking the water. The reason for only 4 stars is that for the first time, I felt a little rushed during my meal. Our server, Carter, gave us no information about the menu items, other than to say that my drink choice was his favorite! There was not a second between our salad course and main entree. He put my entree in front of me as he whisked my salad plate away. And then he reached for my entree plate while I was still eating. The timing was definitely off that night.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Carriage House at Hotel Iroquois over Labor Day weekend and we enjoyed it very much. He had swordfish and I had scallops and both dishes were perfectly prepared and seasoned. We also shared dessert, a cream puff stuffed with ice cream and topped with hot fudge sauce. Our server was Finley and he was great. Knowledgeable about the food and drinks, attentive but not intrusive and professional and yet personable. We highly recommend both Carriage House and Finley!

Over the past decade I’ve spent over two months of time on Mackinac. Without a doubt the Carriage House has provided and continues to provide the best food and the best fine dining experience on the island. Diners, please respect this. Sweatshirts and sweatpants, tshirts and jeans, and the like are not appropriate at dinner.

At the Carriage House we had an EXCELLENT waiter, Carter! He was one of the best waiters we’ve had in recent years and we’re world travelers. The only exception for a five star experience was the hostess but I didn’t note her name. Small, young woman who was very curt and rather unfriendly. I realize good help is difficult to find these days, but she needs more training and a better disposition!!!

Recommended days earlier by fellow tourist, so we decided to give it a try. Beautiful view if you sit outside, however, we opted for indoors with the piano music. Service was outstanding, knowledgeable and just the right amount of follow-up.

Finley did a great job with our table, and handled our cutting-up with aplomb. The food was delicious. This was our first meal here in about three years, and we can't wait for the next one. The Bartender Justin? was a lot of fun during our short wait for a table.

Loved the piano music. Excellent French 75 cocktail. Scallops and risotto were excellent. Loved the beet salad . The angel hair pasta with seafood was delicious, but could do without the calamari (in my opinion). For desert the peanut butter pie and grasshopper topped off the night.
