The bar tender (Ashley) was also amazing and uses recipes she's collected from all over the years from other restaurants and the drinks were fabulous! Marcella, one of the owners, took us on a tour of the whole place where they have a boutique, an art gallery (where you can watch the artist at work), AND a speak easy theater with live performers. This place was truly magical and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone coming to Mackinaw looking for a beautiful and charming restaurant to spend your day or evening. Please also check out the boutique since Marcella designs all the jewelry and it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you again for such an amazing and memorable experience! We did truly feel like royalty:)

It's not pretentious, as you are greeted by the a member of their friendly staff as you enter. There are multiple facets to this venue, so it makes your visit exciting. I wont share any "spoiler's" so when you visit you can experience all the niceties personally. Food is fresh and menu changes occur seasonally. Tonite we only had appetizers but they were both very good. We had the Baked Brie, a puff pastry filled with creamy Brie and a jam dressing. It included a very tasty fruit and nut cracker, sliced apples and Carmel corn nuggets. Great combination of sweet and savory! We also had the Shrimp Cocktail. You get 8 very nice size shrimp, which were nicely chilled (nothing worse than warm shrimp) and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and meaty, good flavor. The staff is great. Riley did a great job taking care of us. We were also greeted by the owner John, who was visiting and talking with every table of guests. This IMO is a sign of a establishment that wants to insure their patrons are happy and enjoying their experience. We would definitely recommend giving them a try when in Cheboygan or the area.

When we arrived, there were a couple of people inside but we chose outside (shaded) seating since it was such a nice day. The deck, which is partially covered, overlooks the Cheboygan River. Apparently there is an award winning chef creating the delectable entrees. The menu included a nice selection of appetizers and ala carts/side items, burgers, salads, baskets, desserts, pastas, etc were on the dinner entree side and available after 4pm. Too bad...the mushroom pasta sounded delightful!! My husband and I both chose fish & skinny fries. What are "skinny fries"? They are the perfect size and crispness!! They are what fries were made to be!! I ate every single delicious one!! The fish was lightly beer battered Alaskan cod and it was just what my stomach needed to tame the serious case of hangries!! I'm not sure if the best part was the first bite or the wonderful smell as it was being brought to our table! (I'm saying this because almost all my life I've lived in KS, the allergy capital of the US, and have never been able to smell things like food until we moved to MI)!! Hubby and I agreed, we will be back for a date night dinner even though this is a 30 min drive for us! Also it's a dress up or casual dress place. We really enjoyed it!

It arrived without the customary cheese curds, but the gravy was right. The cheese was cheesy, which is important. Overall, a good dish and one I would eat again. We opted to share the Canadian Perch platter with a baked potato. For $2.00 extra dollars (for a shared plate) we were each given our own potato. The fish was crispy, flavorful, and filling. The tartar sauce...chef's kiss. The right amount of tang, and it was homemade. Was tempting to just drink the rest of it. Staff were all friendly and the atmosphere was casual.
