I had the fried tenderloin sandwich - larger than the bun as is necessary per Hoosier custom. It came with all the fixins for you to dress as you please. The house salad is fresh and the house dressing (a sweet Italian) takes it to the next level. I snuck a few fries from others at my table and they were fantastic too - hot and crispy. Service was quick and helpful! If I had one complaint it's that I don't know what's in most of the cocktails on the list. Hoping to see ingredients added to a future version of the cocktail menu so I can try more options during future visits this summer!

I did an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting -- everything was SO delicious. We ended up purchasing Tuscan Herb + Garlic olive oils, and Pomegranate, Raspberry, + Traditional balsamic vinegars. But it was incredibly difficult to choose our favorites. The dark chocolate balsamic vinegar is next on my list! We also purchased several varieties of their loose leaf tea. We're excited to add some of their seasoning mixes to our repertoire as well! They offer an incentive for bringing back their bottles, love to see that to encourage waste reduction! I can't say enough about how lovely The Olive Twist is, definitely check it out in Fort Wayne or Auburn, IN!

We ordered lunch here and got the pulled pork sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, broccoli salad and a homemade pretzel. The food was great!

Once you order, you are given your food and then you go to the register line, this is where you'll pay. On a Saturday afternoon it was very long and their credit card processing was slow. We waited in line for a little while, luckily our food did say somewhat warm. They have a bbq bar where you can get your condiments and coffee as well (samples of coffee available).

I have been dining at the Channel marker for nearly 25 years, and it has always been on point, we…read morehave dined with family, Friends, and then just date night. 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! What two alcoholic beverages Steak, shrimp, appetizer, and tip It was right around $100 Waterfront dining as well.
