Beautiful view of the Mackinaw bridge from the top floor. Piano music, but expensive cocktails.

We’ve visited this place yearly and have always had great experiences—until this visit. I am visibly pregnant and ordered a non-alcoholic lemonade. After my first sip, I immediately knew something was wrong. The server then admitted she had accidentally given me a Limoncello alcoholic beverage.
This is not a small mistake—it could have serious health implications. While the server was apologetic and discreet about it, there was no attempt to offer any form of compensation or acknowledgment beyond the brief apology. For something this serious, I expected management to step in, address the issue directly, and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Unfortunately, this left me feeling not only disappointed, but also deeply concerned about the safeguards in place to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Great place to have drinks at the top of the grand hotel. You can visit the bar if you are not a guest, but in order to walk through the lobby you need to be wearing a suit jacket. The bartender was very friendly and made delicious drinks. Our favorite was the Mackinac Sunset.

The drinks were ok and the service was fine. But come here for the view. It's excellent and whatever you're drinking it'll taste better with the site of the Mighty Mac over the horizon of the lake.

Fantastic location for cocktails or drinks, small bites and the best sunset view. We went to the second floor of the bar and had plenty of seating, great hostess, an outstanding view of the MacKinac Bridge and Sunset, and yummy cheese and meat board.

Popped in for a quick drink and an app. Excellent service from Edelweiss. Food and beverage were very good. As for the price, it's the Grand, what did you expect?

Not usually the type to leave a review, let alone a bad one. However my family and I sat there for probably 20 minutes and never had anyone even greet the table. Even if it was busy and they even said something like “I will be right with you” or anything along those lines would’ve been much better than being constantly walk past nor acknowledged. As someone who works in the food service industry it’s very disappointing because it looks like a beautiful atmosphere just really poor service.
Good but SUPER EXPENSIVE
