Bostwick Lake Inn

Bostwick Lake Inn on Bostwick Lake is an absolute gem and easily one of the best dining experiences in the greater Grand Rapids/Rockford area. The food that steals the show. The Wagyu steak is melt-in-your-mouth tender, expertly cooked, and plated with the kind of care you expect from a top-tier steakhouse, not a cozy lakeside inn. All at the cost of 4 coffee grandes. The bar program is outstanding, with a deep cocktail list that includes beautifully made Old Fashioneds and dessert-style coffee drinks. An Old Fashioned with brandy feels right at home here, especially when sipped lakeside or near the fireplace, and the Spanish coffee is an ideal sweet finish to a meal. Spanish coffee is a showstopper—warm, boozy, and dessert‑worthy, the perfect nightcap when you are not ready to leave t

My husband and I just tried Bostwick Lake Inn for the first time this past weekend. We were looking for a really nice dinner outing prior to a special date evening, and thought this would be a great option, being part of the Gilmore collection and all the positive reviews we had read ahead of time. We really were hoping that we could also give it a very positive review but sadly, we were quite disappointed. We found ourselves seated in a bit of a side hallway area back by the doorway to the kitchen. It was very cold (had to keep our jackets on) and noisy, with old tables, and definitely has a very different environment/feel than the rest of the restaurant. The frustrating thing, was that because we were only a party of two, we weren’t allowed to make reservations, only to find out when we

Stopped by to enjoy the weather, deck and great food and drinks. Excellent dinner and drinks. Service was attentive and friendly. Would recommend stopping. Not a bad seat anywhere to enjoy the water view.

We made a reservation for Valentine's Day evening. I had the special risotto and my wife had the duck. The service was great! The food was great! The atmosphere was not what we hoped for. It was so loud in there we couldn't hear each other talk. It's probably like that anywhere you go on a holiday.

It was Lake-apalooza, and we had no idea, but it didn't matter. The service and food were great. The only complaint was the triple dip appetizer came out with carrot chips that looked like they'd been in the Sahara for a week. Don't send out dried up carrots on an $18 appetizer, lol Everything else was excellent! Outdoor seating is right on the lake, and it is nice. Highly recommend, and this will be a regular spot for my daughter and I.
