Mission Point Resort Dining

0


Mission Point Resort is proud to offer farm-to-ferry dining at six unique restaurants and eateries, all of which are open to the public and available to both guests and visitors of the property.

Chianti is a destination for foodies and wine lovers, offering an elevated dinner experience with a prix fixe menu. Round Island Kitchen is the heart of Mission Point and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night. Bistro on the Greens embodies the liveliness of island living, best known for craft cocktails and mocktails and a Mediterranean-inspired menu.

Mission Point is also home to Boxwood Coffeeshop & Cafe, Strait UP Coffee and Lily’s Lemonade which offer a variety of to-go food and beverage options.

Guests of Mission Point under age 12 also eat free at Round Island Kitchen and Bistro on the Greens!

Many people ask “How does Mission Point get fresh produce and ingredients?”

The location on an island in the Straits of Mackinac does present some unique logistical challenges in securing regular deliveries of goods and resources to the resort, which must be delivered either by ferry or flight before a horse-drawn dray delivery. So, with a lot of plan-ning and communication between mainland farms, transportation providers and the culinary team, fresh produce, dairy, and other products make their way from farm to ferry and onto guests’ plates within a matter of days from being picked.
