OC Restaurant Quest: 4th Tavern Lake House
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Jan. 12, 2024)
Waterford, MI – The second most popular item at 4th Tavern Lake House, according to Door Dash, is the Lobster Grilled Cheese. So that is what I ordered for my visit in this quest to try every restaurant in Oakland County. And it was pretty darn good. Made with buttery Texas toast, this luxurious sandwich has lobster, dill Havarti cheese, roasted garlic aioli with roasted tomato bisque for dipping. This came with housemade chips.
I also ordered the Field Berry Salad. The salad came with mixed greens, strawberries, dried cherries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, and grilled chicken served with raspberry vinaigrette. This fresh, delicious, cool salad was great combination with the warm buttery sandwich.
A perfect side item addition was the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, which came tossed with almonds, garlic, and balsamic glaze, drizzed with lemon butter burre blanc, and optional bacon. This was absolutely amazing.
This lakeside restaurant offers an array of choices, including filet Mignon, Scottish salmon, shrimp scampi, baby back ribs, burgers, sandwiches and more. They have desserts too, including key lime pie, NY Cheesecake, bread pudding and chocolate bundt cake.
Dining in means a lively atmosphere and a beautiful lake view. And online ordering is easy.
