"This week's restaurant review.Tonight we visited the, LC Tap House, Not the the other tap house in Chicago. This is a locally owned establishment located here in Lake City Michigan. This is a place Crystal Miller had once again said, I need to get you there. Friday is laundry day, library day, shopping day and DATE DAY?? talk about killing two birds with one stone and helping her with all those things, well let's just say I call it a win win for the both of us! Anyways, we finally made it to this great pub and grill. The decor was more UpTo date on the inside than the outside but actually that was part of the initial draw for me and once we walked in it felt like going out on a date after the mundane. The atmosphere had a upscale wearhouse dining experience feel with the local cowboys and contractors sitting at the bar talking about their week. PRO TIP: The menu has a nice variety but not an overwhelming selection WHICH tells me it's probably going to be fresh (fresher) hopefully and wherever cowboys contractors eat is a good place to start. We started with, Calamari. Absolutely delicious! Not over cooked, light crispy batter and well seasoned with a fresh squeeze of lemon and freshly made cocktail sauce was a great way to get things going. Ok, good start let's try one of the salads Crystal has told me were so good and something she hadn't tried here yet but is one of her favorites, The Patty Melt, cooked medium. I chose the Cobb. Both simple, basic, universal enough. Well, though nothing over the top, both were top notch worthy. The burger is locally raised and sourced, I can't speak for the rest of the ingredients other than they were fresh, crispy, plentiful and the way they were prepared and presented made me feel not only like I received what was I was anticipating what I was paying for but the, Chef's cared about preparing it for me even though we never met. I'm looking forward to revisiting this place and seeing what else they have in store and Crystal, well you're 5 for 5 on choosing great places for laundry library date day. Bon appetit and happy trails to you all."
