For years, we were known fondly as Bowers Harbor Inn. In spring 2010, we officially reopened as Mission Table at Bowers Harbor Inn. We still hold true to the basic ideology that made us one of Michigan’s most highly regarded culinary destinations for decades, but have focused and renewed our vows to our valued patrons:
With an awareness of our place in the community of the Old Mission Peninsula and Northern Michigan, we — the owners, chef and staff — take our inspiration from the land and waters that surround us
Our menu will feature the best ingredients available from local farms and fishermen, using the freshest products, honoring the seasons and supporting the agricultural economy of the region. These foods will be used in ways both innovative and traditional to bring out their unique essences. Garnish and presentation will always be secondary to flavor and quality
Wine, beer and spirits will be focused on local growers, brewers, vintners and distillers. Our wine list will reflect our unique and fortunate place in the heart of Northern Michigan wine country
Service will reflect the generosity of the land and the casual cheerfulness of the local people. Our service staff will be chosen for their passion to serve others, and will remember that gathering at the table with family and friends is a central human experience. We believe that, rather than being separate from kitchen operations, service is the final part in the natural sequence from farm to harvest to kitchen to table
The atmosphere will be warm and inviting, a place where our guests relax and feel welcome. A meal might include a breeze off the bay, a great sunset or a glowing fireplace, but it will always be a genuine Old Mission experience
With our recent substantial renovation — and the addition of other facilities at the complex — we’ve reinvented ourselves and recreated the pure epicurean experience.

Situated on beautiful Old Mission Peninsula in Northwestern Michigan, surrounded by the crystal clear blue waters of Lake Michigan, and in the midst of orchards, vineyards, and farmland, the Old Mission Tavern provides a beautiful relaxing dining experience in an inspirational setting.
In the finest tradition of old world European taverns, the “art gallery” restaurant promises both a culinary and visual feast. Wonderful cuisine with prime rib, fresh fish and seafood, lamb, steaks, chicken, duckling, pastas and signature soups and salads plus a weekly pierogie special make the Old Mission Tavern restaurant a habit with locals and a priority for visitors. The Tavern has provided a warm welcome for travelers for over twenty-five years.
Sundays feature a famous country style chicken dinner special. The Thursday night pierogies are made by Verna Bartnick and are a particular delight.
The Tavern’s main dining room with a woodburning stove and bar, leads to the “garden room”, brightened with many windows and surrounded by original artwork. In the Bella Galleria itself there is a banquet facility in which private parties can dine in the midst of the artwork.
