Breathtaking view from the patio overlooking Hudson lake.

Monroe's Crossing "The Old Casino".The history of the Hudson Lake Casino (the historic Blue Lantern) goes back to its construction in 1914 by William and Avella Smith. The Smith's had previously built a hotel which was located across the street from the casino in 1885, The summer of 1926 was a memorable one as the Casino was leased by the Smith's to Jean Goldkette of the Jean Goldkette Orchestra who renamed it the Blue Lantern and brought some of the most famous jazz musicians of the time to Hudson Lake. Frequently special events such as these, bands of all kinds are showcased and enjoyed to this day hosted now by the new owners Rich and Leslie Monroe.Always new craft beers and delicious specials.The owners as well as the staff are always accommodating to the customer!As well as always have something entertaining for your time at Monroe's Crossing .They offer catering, reservations(nothing is to small) for any kind of special events. Ballroom rental is a option, as well as their beautiful Lakeview room . Definitely a place worth making it a regular"go-to" for quality, beauty, and outstanding service!

Dance hall with stage and beautiful lighting. They history in this place is amazing!

Very unique venue with a lot of history. Owners are great hosts and very friendly. Staff is friendly and on the ball. They have an excellent menu including some tasty fish dinners. Multiple micros on tap. Beer is cold and served right. Mixed drinks and wine. The views of Hudson Lake are outstanding. They also host events such as concerts and local bands. Monroe's Crossing is a real gem and a must try!

The view is amazing! So happy I chose this venue. It was beyond perfect in every way.

Located right along an inland lake, when sitting on the back deck or in the bar area you have beautiful views of Hudson Lake.

Two of us stopped in for a quick bloody and some breakfast. While I understand that Bloody Mary's…read moreare a bit pricey, but $16 and $17 ( for spicy) a piece seems a bit steep. (About a 12oz serving) To be fair, there was a pickle, celery stalk and a mini slider of pimento cheese sandwich, but that was it. Very bland and basic mix. Just not good for the price. As for the meal, after seeing the prices, we decided to split a "deconstructed French toast" plate. It was 3-4 slices of French toast, cut sideways and a slight drizzle of frosting. It did come with a nice handful of fresh fruit, but there again, not really worth almost $20. The server was great. Very responsive and friendly. If you're into the hip, trendy coffee shop style place and budget really isn't the issue, then you'll probably have fun with some friends for a meal out. But if you're an every day Joe, looking for a hearty meal, I now understand why the breakfast joint down the street had a line outside.

This review is for the pantry and store and not the kitchen. A very cool store filled with so…read moremany items to peruse. It is located in a former dime store. They sell wine ,beer, and a variety of whiskey items in the back of store bar shop. They have a large variety of kitchen items, bakery items, jams, preserves. You could spend hours browsing. There is not a lot in Three Oaks, but this was an interesting spot to stop in .

Whenever I travel for work or leisure, I hunt for truly unique restaurants. After an hour of…read moredigging online, Roselily caught my eye. The photos looked incredible, and the stellar reviews confirmed it wasn't just good lighting. I was sold--even if Waze had other ideas! After my GPS took me on a scenic tour of South Bend, I almost gave up. I called the restaurant, and the staff graciously guided me in. From the outside, the brick building looks like a standard office, but once you step inside, you realize you've stumbled upon a total hidden gem. It feels like a beautiful secret. Upon entering, the entire staff welcomed me so warmly that I felt like I was catching up with old friends. I walked past the elegant bar and chose a seat in the dining room. The ambiance is romantic, relaxing, beautifully decorated, and quaint--yet completely comfortable if you are dining alone. I opted for the tasting menu, which is served as a total surprise. For a true foodie, this is pure heaven. I didn't dislike a single dish. In fact, each plate brought so much joy that I caught myself closing my eyes just to savor the flavors and the atmosphere. As I told the staff on my way out: "The food was so good, it makes you want to cry!" (Happy tears, of course!). If you're a local who hasn't been, GO. If you're traveling for work, GO. If you have a special occasion, GO. Life is short--take the road trip to South Bend just for Roselily. The menu changes so I'll be back every chance I get! My only actual complaint? The owner wasn't there for me to beg him to open a second location in Lexington, KY!

We dined at Roselily last night and I can say without hesitation this was one of the best dining…read moreexperiences I have ever had. We did the six-course chef's tasting with wine pairings and every single course delivered. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and incredibly well-balanced, and the wine pairings elevated everything even further. You can tell there is real thought and precision behind every detail--from the menu to the pacing of the meal. And the ambiance was a total vibe! But what truly made the experience stand out was the service. The team struck that rare balance of being both highly professional and genuinely warm. Nothing felt scripted. It felt personal. When they learned we were close to graduating from our MBA program, they surprised us with a menu signed by the entire staff, filled with handwritten notes of encouragement. One simply said, "Follow your dreams." That moment will stick with me forever: core memory unlocked. This is the kind of detail you do not forget. This is not just a great restaurant--it is a full experience. I would absolutely put Roselily at Michelin-star level. If you appreciate thoughtful, elevated dining with exceptional service, this place is worth going out of your way for. We will be back for sure!
