AMAZING! A must-try restaurant on Mackinac Island! I admit, it is a little pricey,but the food, the atmosphere,and the views are totally worth every penny! We went there for lunch and sat on a patio/deck. The views were spectacular, plus our kids were able to run around on the beach, which was an extra bonus. The cocktails we ordered were so good! We knew we were in for a treat, but the food truly hit the mark! The shrimp and asparagus salad was refreshingly yummy, the steak sandwich, as well as the whitefish sandwich were really tasty. We absolutely loved their french fries (one of the best I've had!), their sauces (horseradish, tartar), and their flourless almond and orange cake. So good! If you're looking for a great place to relax by the water while having a beautifully presented meal, try the Carriage House, and you will not be disappointed!
Sat at the bar (didn’t have a reservation this time) and enjoyed lively interactions with the well traveled bar tenders and locals. The quality of light and color that come in through the patio windows makes this place feel like everything great about being on Mackinac Island! French onion soup and asparagus salad were the perfect light lunch I needed to fuel another pedal up the Grand hill.
Beautiful meal. My dad and brother orders the duck potstickers to start while my mom and I ordered the seasonal salad which was a brie and micro-greens salad with a cherry vinaigrette and pistachios (delicious, flavors balanced very well and I plan to recreate this at home). My brother and I shared the pork chop entree and one of the seafood specials (which was served with a lobster tail, lobster cake, and a flaky white fish in a roasted pepper sauce). Both dishes were exquisite and was a great portion size, we were happy that we chose to split so we could try both! My dad insisted on ordering dessert and chose the almond cake which was an almond sponge cake layered with mascarpone, the hint of citrus made for a delightful end to a meal. Our server was also very knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night.
