“ I was staying at this hotel as part of a conference. I arrived late, but thankfully was able to be seated right away. The waitress was very nice and took my order promptly. The burger and fries were great. ”

“ Concourse has a new menu! I had the lump crab with crostini for an appetizer and the shrimp pasta for my entree which they could make gluten free. They have many gluten free options. There were so many choices, I will have to come back soon! If it has been a while, I would come back and give it a try! ”

“ We are visiting from Texas and had dinner at Concourse. On our way to the restaurant we met their new Chef who started just this month. He is from Florida and seems to be eager to showcase his flavors. All I told him was I like my food spicy. When I came into the restaurant I was welcome promptly and the server was phenomenal. She asked the right questions and if she didn’t know the answer was very frank about it. I ordered the Cajun pasta and asked for it to be spicy. When we got the food the pasta had the right spice and absolutely flavorful. Every bite was enjoyable and paired with Pinot Noir was delicious. I would definitely visit the restaurant again during this visit. ”

“ I am not surprised by the many low reviews from 2020/2021, but you need to give them another chance because they re-vamped! The Concourse experienced staffing shortage during COVID which affected the atmosphere and service. As an Elkhart local, I had faith, kept coming back, and to my relief, Concourse has surpassed any of it's predecessors. I have to give a shout out to three staff members: John, Katie, and Hannah. John, their general manager, has helped to recruit and hire some of the best staff Elkhart has to offer. Katie runs an efficient bar with delicious drinks. Full disclosure, I don't know if she actually runs the bar but she's always there and always running around, so I am assuming. Our server Hannah was phenomenal. She was thorough yet quick, knowledgeable, and hilarious. The atmosphere at Concourse is laid back with a hint of upscale. They have bar, outdoor, and indoor seating. The "patio" is covered and has a decent view of the lake. If you go for lunch, be aware that the public beach is close so it can get loud with children. The indoor seating has huge floor to ceiling windows, a gorgeous fireplace, and cozy booths. The bar has a lounge area, long tables, and a decent amount of bar seating. The menu is "pricey" because you are paying for quality. We started with drinks. The beer menu is nice, they have decent wine, and their cocktails are creative. My mom really sipped her margarita and Hannah made sure to ask if she could get her something else because she wasn't sure if she liked it. Rest assured, the margaritas were very good, we just drink slowly when we know we have to drive in this town! The menu is not huge but it is diverse and everything I have tried has been delicious. I cannot recommend enough things from this menu! For appetizers, always start with the tuna nachos. The spinach and artichoke flatbread is so rich and delicious; a close second. I love their wedge and whenever I order it with the petite filet, it's cooked perfectly and enough for a meal. I couldn't choose one item on their sandwich menu- I have had everything and it is all amazing. The entree menu is equally as amazing. Hannah recommended the walleye, which was flaky, breaded just enough, and pan fried to perfection. My husband got the braised lamb osso bucco for the first time, and it did not disappoint! Few extra things: my mom left her to go box, which they hung onto rather than throwing away. She was so relieved that when we returned ten minutes later, her walleye was waiting for her. My dad also forgot his glasses and Katie went the extra mile to let us know that she had them for us. Call ahead to make a reservation in the summer as it gets VERY busy, even on weekdays. You will not be disappointed!! ”

“ My wife and I come here every year for our anniversary. The food is always cooked perfectly. Even though the menu is kind of small, I still feel like they have a good selection of choices. I recommend getting the trio of soups and the ribeye. You won't be disappointed. ”

“ We have eaten here a few times now and have loved it each time. Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere. ”

“ Amazing food!!! Absolutely one of the best meals we had. Can’t wait to go back. Tempura shrimp was amazing. Wonton nachos amazing! Lamb was fantastic! ”

“ It was difficult to choose my entree because they all sounded so delicious. I asked the waitress what the chef's favorites are and ordered the filet, his top choice. Not only was out perfectly cooked, but the presentation with the included accompaniments was top notch. The flavors paired perfectly. The creme brulee dessert was one of the best I've had. We were very comfortable in the spacious dining room and enjoyed attentive service. ”
