“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the wonderful chance to visit The Cove Lakeside Bistro and wow — what an experience! From the moment you walk in, those wall-to-wall windows and the lake view just take your breath away. The menu is completely scratch-made, with options for vegan, gluten-free, or any allergy accommodations you might need. The Lobster Cobb and the coconut-crusted cod and chips are definite must-haves. Whether it’s a date night, special occasion, or just a casual dinner with an unbeatable view, The Cove delivers every time. Highly recommend signing up for Millennium Rewards too — you don’t want to miss their specials and events!“

“Has always been a solid option, however my wife and I were in for dinner at 8pm last Tuesday and the service and food was sub par at best. There was Zero hustle in the restaurant, claimed they were busy but the patio was maybe 3/4 full, and we were one of 4 tables inside. The vibe was completely off. Multiple servers staring at each other, while it took tables 10+ minutes to be acknowledged and have the server come to the table. Had a view of the kitchen, and there was zero hustle there either. It seemed like no one wanted to be there. Food was not good and almost inedible. We didn’t even bother complaining. If this were my first time there, I would never go back. However I know that it’s not normal. We were highly disappointed.“

“My father and I went here waiting for his glasses to ge made at Eyemart Express.
We came here to have breakfast and it was delicious. I had a farmer's omelete with delicious creamy country gravy smothered on top. And my father had a combo of some sort. 2 eggs. Pancake, meat of choice and he loved it so much.
The waitress we had bless her soul. She was so nice. I dont know her name but the day we went she was in a cute hocus pocus sweater and jeans. With her hair pulled back.
She was the nicest and attentive.
P.s. antique kitchen is the perfect name for this place“

Roasted Corn Salad

“Awesome place to grab a bite after a round of golf. Also, in case you didn't know, the grill room at the moors is open to the general public. However, the golf course is still private. The best times to visit the grill room if you don't want to be around a bunch of golfers is Wednesdays and Fridays as Tuesdays and Thursdays are leauge nights for the mens golf leauge. I would suggest making a reservation on either Wednesday or Friday a few days in advance. Also, Wednesdays are why cook Wednesdays and you get 30% off your bill. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for something different to try in portage michigan.“

As soon as we walked in manager and 2 staff immediately left to the kitchen with no acknowledgment. 5 min later hostess came to us and said there was a wait in the kitchen of 5-10 min and would not seat us! There were several open tables so why not at least seat us?“

“Everything about our experience was 5 star except their completely lame priority seating concept. Who ever came up with that should be shot. If I make a reservation with a restaurant for a specific time then I expect them to honor that time and not tell me it's a 45 minute wait because I really didn't make a reservation (which I did), they said they really don't except reservations just priority seating. That's BS, then why are they on Open Table?“
