Water's Edge Restaurant

David Chmielewski

We stopped here on our way to Green Bay from Milwaukee. We arrived at 6:30 on a Saturday evening with reservations made on the road. We each had a mixed drink, blended perfectly. The food was very good and imaginative. I had salmon with a sweet chili glaze. My wife had a fried lake perch plate. Both came with excellent young green beans sauteed to a perfect soft snap to the bite without the toughness of the bigger beans. They were made from fresh, recently picked beans. We didn't have dessert but left satisfied. We have been here before, just passing through to someplace else. We've decided that it is worth the 45 minute trip to make the Water's Edge restaurant at the Lighthouse Inn our journey's destination. Try it. I think you'll agree.

Always a wonderful experience here. Beautiful view of the lake from every seat, great food, friendly staff. Shout out to Cathy, our favorite server! 😍

My business associate and I came into the restaurant about 40 minutes before closing time on the recommendation of the person who checked us into our hotel rooms. She said, "It's THE place for fresh perch." Well, we both ordered the perch and we were both disappointed. The cornmeal coated filets were dry and crunchy, but not in a good way. I'm sure if we'd come earlier, we would have gotten better results. On the plus side, the service was friendly and fast. One very nice touch was the freshly grated cheese on the salad. The coated fries were pretty great.

The service felt like it was a little slow. The waitress didn't arrive until about 10-15 minutes until after we arrived. Although they were short staffed, Hannah's bubbly personality protruded through and earnestness made for a better experience. Warm bread with herbs was good, however it wasn't crispy by any means, it felt like it was heated up in the microwave Salmon cakes were good and the lemon and dill sauce really brought out the flavor. The Malibu coconut shrimp was a little on the sweet side. Short Rib melt was flavorful, ended up getting some caramelized onions on the side in addition to the onion jam, however that was a mistake on my part. It raised the amount of grease in the food. Homemade baked alaska dessert was pretty good, and the presentation was amazing. When paired with the scenery outside the window it looked great. Overall I'd say 4/5 stars.
