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:)

This was our second visit to Queen's Head Wine Pub. This is a very unique venue with an upscale,…read morewarm, lounge type feel accented by the nice furnishings, appointment's and decor. 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.

Just a couple short flight of stairs until you're in the cupola with great views. The space is airy and bright, and service was on point.

We also ordered the whitefish dip to share, which was one of the best whitefish dips I've had. It wasn't super smoky, so it might be more palatable to people who haven't had it before. I loved the addition of the giardiniera. Overall a very lovely experience. Do I need to go back, no, but I'm glad we got to check it out.

And the glass of wine (Rose) I had was just lovely too. Sadly we didn't discover this outside our hotel until the very last night or we would have been regulars all week. Next time!

I was hoping my third visit to Pour (and my husband's first visit) would be as amazing as my first two experiences... Sadly, it was not. It started out okay... I made a reservation on Open Table, we showed up on time, got seated, ordered drinks, etc... We had some drinks, ordered food, and then our server came back to let us know that they were completely out of sushi for the evening. Considering I spoke up the TIger Roll, and the rest of the menu is a bit limited, this definitely put a wrench in our evening. We made the best of it, had a variety of other food including poke nachos, oysters, salad, a burger, bulgogi, etc... but we couldn't get over the fact that they ran out of sushi. Oh well... Ambiance was still pleasant and the company was great. I would return but can't bring myself to keep that five star rating after that experience... Hopefully next time will bump it back up, whenever that may be!

The place is very family friendly and I really appreciated that they had a changing table in the bathroom and a playground outside (and toys inside like blocks)! The outside is beautiful with a little lake and views of the vineyard. However, we were not impressed with the wine at all. It was sub par. I really wanted a sweet wine and the one we got was not sweet enough. The other wines we tried in the flight, were also meh. And this is just a personal dislike but it was a 90 degree day and it was so hot inside (she offered to turn on the AC and even turned the fans on but she said it would take awhile to cool down. I was surprised the AC wasn't on already and there wasn't that much of a breeze to make outside enjoyable).

Came here with my mom and girlfriend for Memorial Day dinner, and unfortunately it was a…read moredisappointing experience from start to finish. The menu felt completely unfocused -- cowboy sliders, ramen, poke bowls, tortellini, brisket sandwiches -- it honestly seemed like whoever designed it couldn't decide what kind of restaurant they wanted this place to be. We ordered the street corn dip as an appetizer, my mom and girlfriend both got the tortellini, and I ordered the brisket sandwich. The service was extremely slow, with about a 30 minute wait for food, and to make matters worse, the appetizer came out at the exact same time as the entrees. The street corn dip had clearly been sitting out for a while because it had developed a film on top and was cold by the time it reached the table. The tortellini was also cold and lacked flavor according to both my mom and girlfriend. As for my "brisket sandwich," I was pretty confused to see lettuce and pickles on it. Has whoever created this menu ever actually had southern-style brisket? On top of that, the brisket itself was incredibly dry -- more like chewing jerky than barbecue. By the time I finished, my jaw honestly felt strained from chewing it. To the waitress's credit, she apologized and took $10 off the bill, which was appreciated. Still, between the slow service, cold food, and disappointing entrees, this just isn't a place we'll be returning to.

If all the food is this good, they will be around for a very long time. Very clean too, with a friendly and helpful staff. It is a bit loud, so keep that in mind if you're coming for the live music. Not as loud otherwise. Wish I tried more, but I will on our next trip here, promise. Another place worth the trip over the bridge!
