I can tell you with complete honesty that the overwhelming majority of those 25 years the food was consistently good. However around 22/23 the menu and food quality went to a new level. Seriously it is mind blowing especially when you factor in the price. Very reasonable prices. The service is great , the atmosphere is definitely on par or slightly above average but the food quality to value ratio is off the charts. Their BLT is legit! And if you're lucky enough to catch their salmon topped summer salad, I'd be shocked if it doesn't roll your eyes back! Try a few things here and I promise you will find something you enjoy.

This is our first visit here. When we arrived the hostess asked us if we had reservations as all…read morethe tables were reserved. We had no idea that was even an option here, let alone a requirement for this evening. She invited us to sit at the bar since we were there to see the band playing later this evening. Service is very friendly and helpful!!! Our server was helpful in suggesting meals and was available to refill our drinks as needed. Other servers were just as friendly to us, even though they were not serving us. We played a dice game while waiting for the band to start. A gentleman asked us about the game, so we showed him how to play. We did not know this at the time, but this gentleman turned out to be the owner, Travis. His friendliness and kindness is very likely why the rest of the staff is kind and friendly!! The food is good! I ordered the chicken pesto. My companion ordered chicken bowl (a chicken sandwich without the bread). We also enjoyed the buffalo cauliflower bites appetizer. The other patrons were around middle-aged, which we liked, as we are in the same age group. It was not a bunch of rowdy "kids", We originally came here to see the band, which was very good! But we'll be back for the food (and another band?) one day soon.

The only reason I don't take them to 3 stars is the time of year, the end of March, which is not high season.

In the future, Westmain, please confine your large groups to a weeknight.

Would love to go back and try an actual dinner. Salmon/ prime rib-etc Good food- A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Really good portions.

The meals I've had here in the past have been okay. This time it was a disaster. The server, from…read morethe time we were seated until we left, was angry and surly. Not sure what set her off but she shouldn't have been working with customers. Two friends ordered mushroom/swiss hamburgers. Another ordered the BLT with another ordering the soup and grilled cheese. I ordered the cod sandwich with no bread. The hamburgers were good as was the BLT. The cod was like trying to chew on an old steak; dry and tough. The was a first for me on a fish product. The grilled cheese wasn't - the cheese slices were still cold with barely a char on the bread. Throughout the meal the server complained about Louie, the cook. I'm adding my complaint to hers. That was one of the worst meals I've had in a restaurant.

The server was cheerful and accommodating. She had a t-shirt with "Sunny" on it, and she was just that. My favorite has always been the shrimp basket so I ordered it. Husband wanted the Rueben sandwich as he had seen it on the menu online. No Reuben - the "full" menu wouldn't be available until 3 or 4 days down the road. So he ordered the shrimp basket as well. The shrimp basket has always had shrimp with the tail on. What we were served was questionable "popcorn" shrimp with very little shrimp flavor to them. The very small cole slaw was overdressed. The 2 stars are for the server, not the food. So disappointing.

We've taken the boat and have drove up over an hour one way and consider ourselves, " regulars". Over the weekend, we decided to venture up early and get there around 5 o'clock before it got busy, the first thing I noticed was a lot of the staple menu items were missing. The things that we had grown to love were gone off of the menu. I realize Food is now at an all-time high. The Jamaican chicken wings, poblano peppers, and several other appetizers that probably help put them above most other restaurants were no longer on their menu that we always ordered when we came. The drinks, the service are always phenomenal! Everyone is so nice there, what I always find impressive is the owners (the new owners as well) are always working right alongside their staff. My go to item is the coconut shrimp, which is the best I have ever had anywhere! My husband had the steak "Oscar" I ended up getting the smash reds and the brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts were charred to the point where there was hardly any and dry, I was quite surprised at how very little was left of them under the leafy green, I didn't even eat them And the smash reds were dry and crumbly because of lack of moisture. No! I did not tell my waitress, I didn't want to complain lol (they started getting very busy) I just ended up boxing the food and taking it home (and yet yes, I'm posting a review) lol gheesh We did have to ask for dinner bread, which I thought came with the meal? They should per my suggestion automatically bring that out, If it's already being made in the back, and it's an item that they can provide, especially if people are dining on steaks and seafood, I guess maybe it should be an automatic to bring dinner bread.. I noticed that people next to us ordered prime rib both of them, and they too, had to ask for dinner bread. ( by the way, it was wonderful.)!! The only problem my husband had, was that the butter for the bread and the potato, came in the real tiny little individual packets.... He's a big guy and he could barely open the packets to get the butter out and it was a mess on the table., and he had tons of butter packets all over the place to butter the potato and the bread, etc. I almost wonder if it wouldn't be more cost-efficient just to put butter in a small ramekin like they do the sour cream like any other nice restaurant that you go to? This is only to say that I've noticed some small changes that could be fixed, to improve the dining experience, not to say Channel marker has went down downhill?!? Because it hasn't! We love this place that's why we make it a two hour round-trip to come here, we love the location, the people, and the selection on the menu, was just a little surprised at some of the things that had been taken off that's all. That's why we will return, and that's why we didn't really say anything while we were there as to not cause a problem. I'm not even sure if this review will make a difference. Or if the owners will take note. Everyone wants this restaurant to succeed always, the dining options on Wawasee Lake are outstanding! I include the Channel marker in that lineup! I just don't know if it was an off night in the kitchen, or dinner service was getting off to a rough start, and it got better towards the evening! The cost of our meal was great!

She almost spilled the drinks on most of us. The prices are very reasonable, the service was below average. Because the prices were very reasonable, we will give this place another chance hoping the next time the food won't be over cooked and the waitress will not be as clumsy.
