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.

Oh my goodness, the Christmas prime rib at this restaurant is amazing! We both had the double cut and the flavor was excellent. It was incredibly tender and I really hope this restaurant stays open. Fun fact: you could have used a butter knife to cut through the prime rib. This is the only restaurant around that serves a decent dinner. We also tried the deep fried shrimp, but usually we stick to the double cut prime rib. They have a full bar, salad bar, and serve lunch and dinner. It's the best prime rib in Lake County, except for my wife Annitta's, who used to work at Lakeshore Inn for fourteen years and learned the cook's secret prime rib recipe. I have never tasted better prime rib, and I have tried a lot.

The food is decent, but the service is outstanding. The staff at this restaurant are some of the friendliest people I have encountered since moving to Lake County. It's hard to choose the nicest among them, as everyone I have met here has been kind and welcoming.
