Chianti is the culinary creation and signature experience of Mission Point Resort, and is the brainchild of Executive Chef Keith Schockling. Bringing an upscale - yet affordable - Italian restaurant to Mackinac Island, Chianti celebrates the diverse foods of Italy with dishes such as Steak Pizzaiola from the northern regions to thin crust flatbreads from Naples and meatballs (Polpetti) from Sicily. Round Island Bar and Grill is the most versatile of our restaurants located right off the lobby. Serving lunch and dinner daily, the restaurant even stays open late into the evening for the night owls. The restaurant features ten HDTVs throughout the restaurant for an all new family friendly sports bar atmosphere. A combination of family food, popular favorites, and signature drinks, the unique decor and view of the straits in the restaurant give a true Mackinac Island experience. Bistro on The Greens serves a tapas-style menu - unique worldly dishes that are perfect for ordering a few dishes and sharing. Overlooking The Greens of Mackinac, Bistro on The Greens features outdoor seating with views of both Round Island Lighthouse, Lake Huron, and the passing ships. Lakeside Marketplace is the resort's casual counter-service restaurant. Featuring popular menu items such as pizzas, calzones, salads, and sandwiches, Lakeside Marketplace is the perfect place to grab a quick bite or to take a meal outside and enjoy the Lake Huron breezes overlooking Mission Point's expansive lawn. Lakeside Marketplace is also the resorts' very own coffee shop, with a full menu of coffee creations - and even serves hand-scooped, locally made ice cream. Picnic baskets can also be ordered for either family or romantic picnics on our lawn! The deli also offers a selection of items for purchase including candies, gift items, and wine.
Chianti has an amazing martini list as well as a vast wine list. The bartender will bring you drinks as you sit in our lobby and enjoy the atmosphere! Round Island Bar & Grill and Bistro on the Greens have amazing views for ships passing by.
