Lakefront rental recommendation?

Cafe Beaujolais was as good as advertised, and a really pleasant surprise of a high end meal.  I was not expecting summer corn soup, sauteed black cod, and homemade carrot cake ice cream to blow me away, but wow, color me satisfied. 

Looks like you had a good time. Thanks for the restaurant review. We'll be at Albion in August and will give it a try.

This is really good to hear.  They were our favorite restaurant in the area, hands down until they changed chefs a few years back.  The new chef was trying, and not succeeding, at a bit of an asian/new-american fusion menu.  I still hit up their pizza and burger spot out back, but stopped eating at the restaurant for dinner after giving them 3 or 4 tries with disappointing results.  It sounds like they maybe have another new chef... we'll get it back on our list.

Ok now I feel like I need to walk it back a little, like I'm overselling the place

Yes they offer few items that seemed out of place.  like what's with the VN prawn salad and VN crab cakes??  I'm VN and took a hard pass on those.  Also, IMO, their idea of "classic cioppino" tends instead toward moules marinières.  Menu says "rich tomato broth", but the low viscosity broth tasted overwhelmingly of bivalves and butter, rather than the familiar tomato + crab + herb taste of, say, a hearty cioppino you'd find at Tadich Grill. 

Ultimately, I was just glad they served plates the kids enjoyed
