At first glance, it looks quite nice, but then you closely, and things are amiss. The food was…read morefine, standard banquet fare, but I found it quite unsettling that the mens bathroom is located in the main banquet hall. The womens is accessible in the front foyer, like all places, but the mens restroom door is right next to the bar. Egh, that took a star off for me. And the poor servers, to access the bar, they have to shimmy under the bar at an access point, no direct door to the bar, so people kept having to move out of the way when someone at the bar needed something from the kitchen. The place was fine enough, but they had a 100 head minimum for a Sunday shower?! Thanks, but no thanks.

The night before our event, everyone on staff pitched in to help us set up. Nicole even went out of her way to find us table numbers that went along with our theme. During the event, the bartender, Kenny, along with the servers, were polite and efficient. Regretfully, I did not take any pictures of the food. My favorite dish was the Swedish meatballs, though the meatballs in the Asian plum sauce were great, as well. The chicken marsala had a prominent wine flavor. I also sampled the chicken piccata. I typically prefer piccata, but enjoyed the marsala more. The mostaccioli was tasty, and the pesto drizzle on top was a nice touch. The mashed potatoes and green beans were also delicious. While the food was definitely a highlight, more than anything, Noah, Nicole, James, and the entire staff were a pleasure to work with. If you have a big event coming up, I highly recommend Lakeland Manor.

I was just interested in the historical marker and the building itself. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to walk the grounds around the building to view the lake as a keen eye can see across to Canada from here. The marker reads, "Russell A. Alger, Jr., (1873-1930) son of Michigan's Governor Russell Alger, built this Italian Renaissance style mansion in 1910. Alger was one of the founders of the Packard Motor Car Company, Charles A. Platt of New York designed this elaborate structure, and Ellen Shipman of New York landscaped the grounds. The home, situated on Lake St. Clair, was referred to as "The Moorings." Alger lived here until his death in 1930. From 1936 to 1948, the house was used by the Detroit Institute of Arts as a branch museum. In 1949 it was deeded to the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association in memory of those who served and died in our nation's wars and for facilitating the educational, cultural and civic needs of the community." It also mentions that it was erected in 1983 by the Michigan History Division. Russell A. Alger, Sr. was a Civil War general who served as the 20th Governor of Michigan from 1885 to 1887, US Senator and eventually, US Secretary of War under President William McKinley from 1897 to 1899. He was replaced during the Spanish-American War. The original home is still here and has had an auditorium added in 1962 and art wings added in 1977 and 1993. The original home building was donated by the Alger family to the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Association in 1949 and is an event venue. I'd like very much for someone to invite me to a wedding here!

There were a lot of spider webs on the outside of the windows due to being so close to the lake. If you don't like bugs, I don't recommend this venue! For the most part the staff was friendly but they did seem to be a little bit rushy a little bit before halfway through. They took my silverware before I was done eating without asking. The entrance is handicap accessible although there are no signs indicating that. I was trying to open the front door when suddenly they opened by themselves so I was caught off guard. It is a great venue for sights and pictures!
