- KKellyVIPGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •27 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 16, 2024Cocktails, appetizers, salads, and entrees were all top notch. Our server, Heidi, was fabulous! I initially ordered a cocktail that wasn’t to my liking. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, I just made a poor choice. Heidi insisted on replacing it with my favorite drink. Really above and beyond. Can’t wait to return!More infoSpring & PorterPrice: Expensive• Global, International• Petoskey•4.8
- CChristianNorthern Michigan / Upper Peninsula •2 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 18, 2024Wonderful! We had an outstanding server, Nashoba, who paced out our meal perfectly. The French soup was amazing and I would absolutely order the filet again. A great bonus is the pianist in the main dining room. Will absolutely be returning the next time we’re on the island!More infoCarriage House at Hotel IroquoisPrice: Expensive• American• Mackinac Island•4.7
- MWMichaelWVIPAustria •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 19, 2023Everything is first rate including the well prepared food options, the professional wait staff, the lovely room and that fantastic view through those gigantic plate glass windows onto the state park marina and the harbor and lake beyond. We have visited the Island House Hotel several times over the years and have always had only the best of dining experiences at the 1852 Grill Room.More info1852 Grill RoomPrice: Expensive• American• Mackinac Island•4.6
- BSBarbaraSChicago / Illinois •15 reviews4.0Dined on Sep 7, 2022Great ribs and brisket as were the accompanying beans and cornbread. Server was very good - appropriately attentive and personable. We ate on the outside patio. No island scenery to speak of, but it was just fine if you’re in the mood for BBQ.More infoIce House BBQPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Mackinac Island•4.3
