Mackinac Island is well-known for being one of Michigan’s finer gems. However, it can be difficult to decide where to stay and what to do when coming to the Island.

Fortunately, there is one resort that takes care of all your wants and needs. Mission Point Resort is located on the ‘sunrise’ side of Mackinac Island.

Dining at Mission Point Mackinac

Chianti

Chianti offers a more formal dining experience. This Mission Point restaurant on Mackinac Island specializes in Italian cuisine but also serves unique items such as wild boar.

Aside from their expansive dinner menu, Chianti also has a full brunch menu. The whitefish served with the smoked whitefish hash is freshly caught right in the Straights of Mackinac and the surrounding areas.

You guys, you must try the smoked whitefish hash. It is to die for.

Bistro on the Greens

Bistro on the Greens is another restaurant on Mission Point’s property. It is adjacent to an 18-hole putting course. Bistro on the Greens offers stunning views of Lake Huron, Round Island Lighthouse, and all the horse and bicycle traffic streaming around the island.

This bistro truly encompasses the traditional Mackinac Island feel.

Boxwood Coffee Shop & Cafe

Boxwood Coffee Shop & Cafe is the perfect place to stop when you’re on the go. They offer delicious coffee, snacks, and pre-made sandwiches. They even have beer and wine to go – perfect for a sunny afternoon on Mission Point’s Great Lawn.

Best Drinks at Mission Point Restaurants

All of the restaurants within Mission Point serve alcohol. However, there are two specific places that truly hone in on the craft.

Reserve

Reserve is a new tasting room inside the resort that just opened this year. Mission Point Resort makes their own Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Blanc de Blancs.

Reserve also offers an amazing selection of fine meats and cheeses to create the perfect charcuterie board. Delicious chocolate morsels and truffles are available as well.

Library Bar

Mission Point has an expansive library, complete with multiple fireplaces and cozy seating. Adjacent to the library is a bar with the most extraordinary cocktails. This bar has everything from fruity, seasonal drinks to traditional cocktails.

Trust me – get the Manhatten and sit by the fire; you’ll feel a pleasant warmth inside and out.
