A group of us friends has an annual meet-up at the Rotunda. Things have changed over the years and especially since the Covid shut down, but the menu is always an interesting variety of creative ideas with something for everyone, reservations are easy to make, the service is friendly and efficient, as well as patient, supporting us having a good time. Add popovers and we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

I have been to Grand Lake Kitchen 3 times in the last month. Everything tastes amazing from the Mocha Espresso, Pastrami Benedict, the Salmon Benedict and cannot forget to mention the french toast. We were completely happy when we dined there. The last waiter was so good and attentive I gave him an extra tip. I highly recommend making a reservation because this place is packed!!
