There will be twelve of us (8 adults, 4 kids) and a couple of the group are not very adventurous eaters. I have been in the Lake Geneva/Delavan area a few times over the years and I am familiar with most of the popular places (yes, the chicken at Popeye's IS very good). I am hoping to find someplace a little more quiet where a group our size can enjoy some conversation and not feel rushed. Most people in the party will probably want to order basic steak/chicken/seafood dishes. A friend of mine who frequently golfs at Lake Lawn suggested a place called Ralph's Steakhouse in Delavan, but his suggestions have not always been reliable in the past. Thanks for any help!

Their menu fits the bill for your request, which you can view at their website - http://www.gordysboats.com/boathouse.general.cfm ENJOY!

Friend who is in the restaurant biz just told me of a very enjoyable meal they had last week at Kirsch's Restaurant at the French Country Inn. I've driven by and it always looked like a neat place with nice patio dining on the lake. I have also driven by but never stopped at Papa Cory's which is also on the lake and has patio dining. I'm a big fan too of Popeye's (love the skordalia) but these others sound more special.
