Lake Street Cafe

Very solid American bistro with new twists on old favorites.

Hard not to find something that you will enjoy on the food and or the drink menus.

In the summer the indoor seating is loud and stifling; ask for a table outside. :)

Watch out!  We paid $2.00 per Diet Pepsi that was 80%+ ice and were asked multiple times if we wanted refills, yet were never told each refill was another $2.00.  That is just a rip-off.  Also, both my son and I got sick after eating the food here, beware this restaurant.

Great place to stop for drinks in Elkhart.  Always busy in summer (expected) but nice to stop in during winter too when it is less hoping with people.    

Very laid back and casual vibe.  Absolutely love the decor.  The old school city signs add a unique touch.    

Wide wine list and beer selection.  Plus for the generous pours.  Staff is knowledgable and always friendly.  

Must say I recently tried the food and was kinda disappointed.  Cuban quesadilla starter was decent but nothing mind blowing.  Prosciutto panini and burger for entrees were lackluster.  Panini's toppings were off (roasted red pepper on prosciutto with basil and mozzarella?  yuck) and burger was overcooked and dry.  Fries were tasty though - perfectly cooked and delicious.  

Will obviously be back but might just reserve this place for drinks only now.
