Historic, North-End Steakhouse Gets New Life.




From the Lambton Shield.


Just a few months ago, Dean Frayne found himself driving near the corner of Michigan Ave. and Christina Street N. when he felt compelled to turn into the parking lot at one of Sarnia’s iconic restaurants, the Chipican. What caught his eye was a FOR SALE sign on a property that had enticed steak-loving customers for more than 60 years but which had been closed for a couple of years.

Frayne and his wife Laurie were already running the Court Cafe and Catering, a facility they were leasing at the Sarnia Courthouse, but they were looking for something a little bigger.

A few days later, Frayne got wind of another opportunity, that being the sale of contents at Razzers, a defunct restaurant in Corunna.

The Fraynes ended up with successful offers on both the Chipican property and the restaurant contents, leading them to put together a business plan and total renovation project for what will soon be Lake Point Grillhouse & Lounge, a 200-seat family restaurant that they expect to open later this
