Scenic View Restaurant and Bar

Lovely spot that I remember from my youth (when it wasn't a lovely spot) and well worth going out of your way to reach.

The food was terrific.  Very innovative and unusual, not just burgers and fries.  Fresh ingredients and wonderful sauces.  Good beer and wine list and very nice staff.

But, it's the view everyone comes for and when seated outside, everyone has a perfect view, overlooking the lake.  Now that I've been again, I'll make the Scenic View the spot to seek out whenever we come to Indiana for our family visit.

As my birth mother would say,
"If you cannot say anything nice, do not say anything."

I shall write, though, that the view is as advertised - just stunning and the most scenic spot north of Monroe Lake, Indiana.

With better management techniques and higher quality hot coffee, the potential of this restaurant may be limitless.  I am hoping that the extended family will take action sooner than later. It definately is "sacred ground."

Am so disappointed in this place--I really want to love it but the food and drinks last night were really bad.  The place has great potential so I hope the owner and chef read the comments in Yelp and turn the place around.  

It's a wonderful little restaurant that we keep trying because we want it to succeed, but at least 3/4 of the time I'm sorry that we came.  Last night the service was slow and inattentive; that was irritating but bearable because we were there to relax on the patio.  But my medium rare Angus burger was so dry that I kept drowning it in ketchup, my nicely crunchy fries were too peppery to eat and my Mojito was so bad I couldn't drink it (and I am NOT a picky drinker).

I'm a sucker for the atmosphere, the patio, the view, and the drive, but may have to give up on this place soon.
