Was Margaret McColl at Howard's Grotto a mag?
Enjoying lunchtime, my first time visiting this cozy lounge. Ample portions of fresh fried fish chips. The bowl of clam chowder was delicious as well. The service was excellent. A very welcoming atmosphere. Very pleased with everything and everyone working there as well. If you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy your meal, come and check out Highlands bar grill.

We had our holiday party there tonight and everything was perfect. Not one complaint from a group is pretty good! The fish was the hit of the night and the desserts were scrumptious. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
Our hostess/waitress was one of the best in Lake County. The atmosphere has all new artwork in the dining area, which is nice. Although there were two that had 1 eye, they were both looking at us. Little weird. The food was terrible. I ordered scallops in lemon and butter, vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy. The other 2 people with me ordered bacon wrapped filet mignon, salad with Italian dressing, vegetables, and chopped red potatoes. The Italian dressing was oil and watered down vinegar, no spices. Even the waitress went and tasted the dressing on her own accord when she saw they weren't eating it and came to our table to tell us she didn't like the dressing and offered to get something else. Our vegetables were sliced steamed carrots with no seasoning. The same goes for the red potatoes. The filets were charred marked and raw on the inside and tough. My mashed potatoes were a giant ice cream scoop of potatoes with a very thick brown sauce poured down one side. The presentation of all our food reminded me of a cafeteria style meal food just tossed on a plate. The appetizers were good chicken wings and potato skins. The drinks from the bar were good. One of us asked to speak with the manager about the food, and the manager listened but didn't seem to care. We all want every restaurant in Lake County to be great. Even good would be ok. When this restaurant was Howard's Grotto, the food was consistently good or decent. I will never go back to this restaurant for food again. Fast food is more appealing. I might go there to the bar side for a drink, maybe. To the owner, please get someone in there who can make good food and who knows how to plate the food. To the cook, taste the food before you decide to put it on the menu. We paid over $200 for the 3 of us, including 2 drinks each for 2 of us. I didn't want to pay for the food, but the waitress was so incredible that we just paid it. We won't go back, though.
