    Chianti Restaurant at Mission Point
    Kathleen T.

    This is our first trip to Macinac, staying at Mission Point. We made reservations in advance of our visit, knowing that we'd like a nice, slow paced dinner after a long trip to get there. This was a great choice! The price is not for the faint of heart-it's fixed price , I believe $125, for four courses and dessert. This doesn't include beverages. There is a pairing of wines available, which some of us chose. It was nice to have a taste of a carefully chosen companion wine to the food . Service is excellent, great pianist in the background. This is definitely a quality, not quantity restaurant, aimed at delighting the senses-great view. 'Mission' Accomplished;) Oh, and the ingredients are as locally sourced as possible-another bonus!

    Excellent dinner with wonderful service! The staff was very attentive and made excellent recommendations for dinner. We did their 2023 5 course meal with wine pairings. The entire meal was a treat! This is another reason to come to Mackinac Island just to eat here!! Thank you!

    Apple desert. Amazing!

    Amazing food and service. There was even a Piano player in the restaurant. Perfect for a romantic date.

    The best dinner on the island. Prepare to spend some time and relax while you enjoy your 5 course meal. Service is outstanding! Ask for Romaine or Clever- best waiters around! Great wine pairing available too!

    Dessert - Earl Grey ice cream and flourless chocolate cake

    Lovely experience. We came in on a very rainy evening celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary and happened to be lucky enough to get a table! We had a divine meal of 4 courses and it was so nice to be able to try so many dishes and flavors. The meal started with an amuse bouche, which was very interesting- liver with a candied blueberry. It tasted really good but I didn't love the aftertaste of the liver. We started with the scallops, which were amazing and also beef carpaccio, which came with pine nuts and shaved Parmesan. We then had Caesar salads, which were enjoyable but not amazing. Next was a pasta course- I did the duck confit gnocchi and my wife had the squid ink pasta- very nice. Both delicious. The clams in the squid ink pasta were expertly cooked! We had venison and whitefish for our main course. The whitefish was nicely cooked with a tasty cream sauce, but the star was the venison! It was so tender and flavorful, the parsnip purée was rich and sweet- I would eat that every day of my life forever if I could! For dessert we did the flourless chocolate cake with earl grey ice cream? Which sounds like an odd pairing but it was super delicious. We also had a lemon meringue tart which was also quite good and refreshing after the chocolate. 10 really enjoyable courses. You could tell the chef put a ton of effort and thought into the way the meal was prepared. The service was also impeccable. Although it was an expensive meal, I can't recommend it enough!

    PURE MAGIC. My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner, and we were so charmed. We chose to add the first tier (read: cheapest) wine pairing, we were doubtful but willing to try and it added so much to the experience. Every course was outstanding, but my husband's lobster bisque as his second course choice bears special mention, as did the rabbit gnocchi which we both chose for the third course- it was actually mind blowing. The closest thing to a religious experience I could have with food, it was that incredible. The rabbit was shredded and coated in an amazingly flavorful sauce, the gnocchi was perfection in both texture and flavor. The wine pairing was equally strong- on its own I didn't love it, but paired with that course it was incredible! My husband got the prosciutto wrapped veal as his fourth course, I got the prime beef tenderloin. We were afraid anything would be disappointing following that gnocchi, but both dishes and their wine pairings amazingly held up and continued the excellence. For dessert he had the apple pie, I got the chocolate torte (pictured). Both were rich and amazing and incredible, and their dessert wine pairings were the perfect complement. The apple pie had the perfect balance of apple and cinnamon and white chocolate with a rich shortbread base, and the presentation couldn't be beat. The torte was rich chocolate heaven- it somehow paired perfectly with the meringue it was served with, not too dark or bitter compared to it. Our waiter, Basil, also deserves special mention, for both his impeccable serving and his beautiful voice- he serenaded us for our anniversary, and we were lucky enough to hear him serenade a fellow patron for her birthday as well. He has won talent competitions with that voice, and you can tell! Our sommelier, Nenad, was so knowledgeable and friendly as well, he really helped us to appreciate our wine pairings and he genuinely enjoyed doing so. It showed! They both took the already wonderful meal over the top to make it pure magic- we were walking back to our B&B discussing how amazing the night was. It's the most money we've ever spent on food and it was worth every penny. Thank you, Chianti

    We had the most spectacular wedding anniversary meal here a few weeks ago! It was our first time at Mission Point (and on the island, in general) so we were anxiously anticipating our meal at Chianti! The meal was off to a great start when we were brought complimentary glasses of prosecco and fresh bread with balsamic vinegar and oil for dipping! But if we thought that was yummy, we had no idea how amazing dinner was going to be! I ordered the scallops with tomato risotto and grilled asparagus. Oh. My. Heart. This was the best meal I have ever had. Hands down. The scallops were seared to perfection and the risotto was the stuff of dreams. My husband ordered the bone in ribeye with confit potatoes and grilled asparagus. His was equally as heavenly and delectable!! Side note: I could easily eat a truck load of those potatoes. DROOL. We finished dinner with the creme brûlée with strawberrries. The perfect ending to the perfect meal!

    We were on Mackinaw Island for a weekend and were trying to get to the best 10 places during our short visit. Pink Pony fit our taste just fine which is all American fine dining experience. We were now looking for something more intimate, romantic aka Italian. Chianti is walkable from downtown and def was an option we were willing to check out. They serve dinner 5-9. We walked to the hotel bar for drinks first. The resort gallery has many fireplaces and a decent book collection to chat and read as you sip onto your cocktails. Interiors are warm vintage. We got to the dining room around 7. Live piano music, charming lakeview of the sun kissing the glittering fresh water and intimate ambience- couldnt ask for more! We ordered a bottle of Pinot. I had their whitefish and hubby got himself the traditional chicken lasagna. The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth. I would rate it close to a 4/5. The chicken was flavorful but somewhat dry- could def use some more sauce - prob more like a 3/5. The service is top notch. Extremely courteous staff. Overall- if you are looking for a romantic dinner, this is it! Def coming back!!

    I picked this location on a whim for my 5 year anniversary because it was in the edge of the island, had waterfront views, a nice menu and they took reservations. I cannot express what a marvelous choice we made. The view from the table where we sat outside was phenomenal of the lake. Although it's a bit further out of the way from most of the other spots, it's well worth the walk, even if it is a bit confusing to get to once you make it to mission point - for reference we stayed at the grand hotel. It was an easy walk but did take some time. We were greeted with complimentary prosecco after being seated, which was a nice treat! We ordered the minestrone soup, and zuppa toscana - both delicious, although I preferred the minestrone. Each had a glass of the mission point Pinot Noir (wow!) and then for entrees we ordered the sated whitefish, and eggplant Parmesan (paparadelle w/bolognese instead of spaghetti/marinara). Everything we had was absolutely delicious!Portions were quite generous and we had plenty to take home, plus Basil, our server even sang for the table! Lovely meal, lovely evening/experience - highly recommend!

    Very, very impressive food for an island in the middle of northern Lake Huron. The mussels appetizer was delicious and very large. And, unlike a lot of mussel dishes, they were not over-cooked. The grilled bone marrow appetizer was very tasty. Yes, it's fatty, but you only live once. Crab cakes, prime ribeye, bolognese pasta, rack of lamb, raviolis, etc. were all exquisitely prepared and presented and delicious. The tiramisu dessert finished the night off the perfect way. If at all possible, sit outside in a table that overlooks the lake. It's hard to beat that.

    Made a reservation with the concierge. There are tables available outside, so if the weather is nice perhaps you can request. Dress code is from biz casual to casual. Appetizer: Brussel sprouts and potato leek soup Main: white fish with risotto Service was especially good by our server Marvin I found the overall experience with service, food, view and atmosphere to be quite nice and deserves five stars. Perhaps you might also enjoy. Note: no room for dessert...

    Made reservations ahead and glad we did it was very busy. The restaurant is located inside the Mission Point resort. We took the horse taxi since it was raining. We were seated promptly and served a complimentary glass of champagne. Our waiters were very attentive but not overly. The menu only has three pasta dishes which I thought was odd for an Italian restaurant. We ordered the Caesar salad and sumner chopped salad and for main dishes we ordered the chicken parmigiana which was probably the best I ever had. My husband ordered the scallops and side of greens which he said was great. We ordered the hazelnut chocolate cake which was just ok. It tasted like refrigerator and not fresh. Overall, food was good.

He even wished my mom a happy Mother's Day before taking our order, which was a nice touch. We started with the Street Corn Nachos as an appetizer, then ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, both with fries on the side (an additional $4 each). This was an excellent place to bring my mom since she's vegetarian, and the restaurant had plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. The food was excellent, especially the nachos -- the queso was amazing. The restaurant also gives you a lot of customization options, like swapping chips for fries for an extra $4 or adding protein to the nachos for an additional charge. That said, while the nachos were really good, they were still $18 without any protein, which honestly felt overpriced for chips, cheese, and vegetables. We came during lunch service, and overall the food, service, and view made for a great experience. However, it is definitely on the expensive side. Most entrees seemed to range from around $20-30. Still, if you're willing to spend a little more for quality food, generous portions, and a great atmosphere, it's definitely worth visiting.

I had to look at my photos in order to remember our meal. That's not to say it was bad. Not at all! Just that the only thing I remember is that the prices are slightly higher than I think they should be. (Although, that seems to be the case at every restaurant on Mackinac Island. They have you trapped, and they know it.) We started with the smoked whitefish dip, which is a popular thing in this part of Michigan. It came piping hot with melted cheese on it, and served with crispy pita chips and crostini. I'm glad I tried it! I love me a good meatloaf sandwich, so when I saw meatloaf sliders in the menu, I had to get them. These sliders are made with pretzel buns, which are not my favorite because I feel like they're never soft enough. A nice white bun would have been so much better. I got a side Caesar salad, and it was fine. We also ordered a chicken tenders basket, the Low Carb Platter (just a cheeseburger without a bun and a side of cottage cheese), and a kids' cheeseburger. They do have a kids menu here -- just ask. Millie's gets very busy! We had to wait almost 30 minutes for a table. But it's centrally located in the middle of downtown Mackinac, so I wouldn't expect anything less.

If I were to go there again, I would definitely get the pasty, hands down.

They have a decent selection of signature cocktails to choose from. Portion sizes were generous and easily shareable between two persons (sensing a trend here in Michigan). I enjoyed the Crab Louie salad and the sweet potato fries. In summary, the seating arrangements could've been better, but the food and drink made up for it.
