Food was overpriced and small portions. Mac and lobster dish had a teaspoon of Lobster in it. They were out of a lot of dishes and had no ice tea
Girls and boys gave great service though

Where do I start. First the service, I ordered a lobster roll and an order of French fry’s for my kid as someone recently told me they were heavenly. I got back to my truck, and unwrapped the food to give my son his heavenly fry’s. Until unfortunately the order was messed up and we received the devils sweet potato fry’s. We buckled up and got ready to leave, tho disappointed I wasn’t going to make a big deal about fry’s. Until my son told me to call just to let them know we got the wrong fry’s. I started to call and my son verbatim said “no it’s fine dad they probably will say no to getting us the right fry’s.” That’s where we are in society where a 7 year old thinks business won’t help you. I digress, I explained what I ordered and immediately got a big apology and was told bring them back and they will make everything right. They didn’t know I’m a lobster roll reviewer or a guy who loves food so much that both of us were going to wolf down the food before we even left the parking lot. In fact the lobster rolls were completely gone by the time we noticed the fry’s were wrong. Apon entry to the fine establishment we were meant by an extremely nice heart felt apology. Where I said it’s no big deal by the way the lobster rolls were amazing (spoiler alert). We then got a personal smile, thank you, and a please come back again by the chief which is something you don’t see anywhere. Next is the atmosphere, it was like walking into a nice restaurant right at an ocean beach. Weird to see in a little po dunk town but extremely refreshing. A diamond in the ruff if you will. Now to the food, the fry’s were like was described… Heavenly! Best fry’s I have ever eaten and got the joy of experiencing to be Frank. Now to the lobster roll. I only review the best and worst lobster rolls in my three google accounts. Any place in my opinion can make a ok-good lobster roll. I’ve had lobster rolls from the cost of Connecticut all the way to Maine. I’ve had more lobster rolls and have reviewed more lobster rolls that I can count in the past 20 years. It’s not easy to find a great-amazing lobster roll in ct. Well today was the day! Now it doesn’t look like a lot of lobster from the photo but when I tell you the ratio of lobster to bread was perfect, I mean it not to much not to little, filled me up and made me satisfied. The lobster itself was fresh fresh, like the chef himself just got on a lobster boat with an old salt dog of a man named Bob. He pulled a trap up loaded with big red Maine lobsters, then from trap to pot perched that lobster and coated it with fresh butter, onto a nice and toasted roll and handed it to me 20 miles even before returning to the dock. That was the type of lobster roll you close your eyes, don’t need teeth to eat, amazing tasting, buttery, fresh, delicious, life changing, and as your eating this dream of a bite with your eyes closed you can feel the waves. You can smell the sea, you can hear seagulls in the distance, oh look over there there’s a boat fishing for stripped bass. Just like that there gone, the dreams over but you will always remember and cherish that dream. This is the 2nd best lobster roll in ct no doubt about it. Only one question does it tie for first? Maybe I have to have more to find the answer to that hard question specially because consistency matters. I will be back! I will eat more! Thanks for an amazing meal… no no no no no…… not a meal…. A EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ate at Lakeside Bar and Grill. All the fries and sweet potatoe fries were cold. Fish from Fish qnd Cips, greasy. My grandsons Mac and cheese turned out to be the best tasting meal. Waitress was ok. Can’t seem to handle customers snide and patio at the same time. Not worth the menus prices.

I came here with my husband for dinner while on vacation. What a charming restaurant! There is plenty of outdoor seating with stunning views of the lake. Service by Kim was impeccable and the food was first rate. My husband had the smoked baby back ribs and I had the halibut special which was served with risotto.
I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a casual but fine dining experience!

We had a great time this past Saturday. The outdoor seating over looking the water was amazing. We sat at the large outdoor bar and listened to live music. Stephanie was our bartender/server. She is a phenomenal!! Her guest service was top notch!! Highly recommend

I just had to write a review which honestly I normally don’t. I made a reservation for 6 @ 1230pm today. We were greeted and decided to sit outside. We had an amazing waitress named Lily (hopefully spelled correctly). I have been in the food industry along with being a retail manager and know the good kudos don’t normally happen. As I was leaving I stopped at the front and asked for a manager. The kind hostess said she would find her and I said honestly I just wanted to leave a great review. She immediately said well you can leave one online and I also can tell the manager for you. Brilliant by the way. This was our first visit for 6 of us. The food was great and atmosphere amazing. Well done and thank you Lily for making it a great experience for all. Your amazing.
