Service was really slow. I am talking 30 minutes to get our order in and another 40 for the food to come. The food was not good either. The roasted baby carrots were soggy and blackened. The chicken pot pie was runny and other people in my party did not even ate their whole food because it was bad.Waiter was kind but he seemed to be the only one working. The house is beautiful but the decor could be improved. It feels empty. It even echoes when you speak.

We sat in the patio which was wonderful. I wish I could give it more stars because uses of love for them to make it but the service was so slow and inconsistent. My salmon was so dry it was hard to eat and my salad was drowning in dressing. The building is beautiful and the wine was good.

Totally blown away by my visit here! This gorgeous historic mansion is just beautiful to visit. (It's also spooky and haunted!) The staff let you roam the mansion while you wait for your meal, and there is a lot to see. I loved my orange creamsicle cocktail. My entree was delicious, as was the lovely cotton candy creme brulee for dessert! I can't wait to go back. They also have a new "speakeasy"/bar area on the main floor, though the legit speakeasy used to be in the basement during Prohibition. Very cool!!!

So glad we returned to Fowler House Kitchen (Mansion) for dinner. After a semi-disappointing Easter Brunch, we thought it had potential and wanted to give it another try. Our dinner was fabulous. The carefully cultivated menu offers original and inventive entrees that you can't get anywhere else in town. We enjoyed the pickled produce platter as an appetizer (featured that night: asparagus, kiwi, and a miso egg, all interesting!) as well as the watermelon and cucumber salad. But the big revelation was the lamb shank served on cheese grits with watermelon radish and pineapple. The flavors were out of this world. The servings were plentiful. Patience is required as there is often only one server, but it allows for a leisurely meal in a gorgeous setting.

I really wanted to like this restaurant. The mansion is beautiful and the staff was great but the food can be politely described as 'not good'.My suggestion is simplify the menu to a couple of key dishes that the chef can knock out of the park. To accept the status quo here is unthinkable

Very Disappointing! Ordered a medium steak and it came out bloody so they compensated by taking 10% off the price of the steak. The other entree tasted so bad it was left completely uneaten. Wouldn't have even given 1 star if Icould have.

It can be quite difficult to get a restaurant reservation during Purdue sporting events. Most places are booked all night. I found this on Open Table. I was able to get a reservation. It was terrific. The mansion is very cool and you will dine in one of the several rooms. Staff is good. Food is delicious.

Sovereign Catering & Events was a Godsend for us. We had a destination wedding, but decided to have a reception for our friends and family to celebrate. Barbara had amazing ideas and so many options for us to choose from. She entertained all of my crazy ideas and even made breakfast for dinner for us. The Lahr Atrium provided an excellent back drop for our big celebration, as we brought the beach back with us. Barbara surprised me with a palm tree to finish off our decorations of sand and sea shells. We were so pleased with how our reception turned out. All of our friends and family still talk about how beautiful it was. If you are looking for a worry-free experience, choose Sovereign Catering & Events, you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I visit West Lafayette frequently to visit our daughter, granddaughter and SIL. Lately we have had difficulty finding new restaurants to eat in that offer outdoor dining (we still try and take COVID precautions), so when my daughter mentioned this restaurant we all agreed that it was worth a visit, even though some prior Yelp reviews were negative. I needn't have worried, however; we all had a nice dinner in a pleasant environment.Fowler House is a mansion that you can do self-tours of; we walked through it to get back to street level after our meal (I made the mistake of climbing a lot of stairs to get to it at the beginning of the meal). The patio is pretty and when we visited at 5 PM on a Wednesday it was not crowded.The food was much better than some of the prior reviews would suggest. I really enjoyed my half-pound cheeseburger, which came with homemade potato chips (although no mention of these appeared on the menu). My five-year old granddaughter had a smaller burger from the kid's menu; hers actually came with some tasty fries (likewise not mentioned on the menu). My wife had the salmon and bacon sandwich, which she liked a lot as well. Both her portion and mine were generous enough that we each got a second meal out of our leftovers. My daughter seemed pleased with her chicken pot pie; my SIL had the crispy chicken and although he didn't rave about it, didn't make any complaints either.For dessert we all shared a chcolate marquise. Unlike the rest of us, my SIL is not a chocoholic, so he had just had a tiny taste; we divided the rest into quarters and all had a sufficient portion. It's quite rich (with a mousse-like consistency, though perhaps somewhat denser) and was served on a plate with a generous dollop of whipped cream.Prices are mildly high but not exorbitant. I never had the feeling that I was being ripped off. The service was fine as well.So, bottom line: a successful meal, one which I hope to do again the next time we're in town.Note: there are two businesses listed on Yelp: Fowler House Mansion and Fowler House Kitchen. To get the widest assortment of reviews, be sure to check both. I have filed this review in both places.

It was extremely disappointing experience. After two-hour wait we have finally received our order, and every single dish has been a miss- from the pasta/salmon that had no flavor to ribeye steak that didn't not look or tasted as the ribeye. The place is closing down, and it seems like they they have decided to just let it go. I would not suggest coming here.
