Villari's Lakeside Restaurant

Our book club meets here every month. We appreciate the excellent service, food, and atmosphere!

We loved our daughter's birthday dinner at your restaurant, everything was perfect, the service, the food was delicious, our waitress was outstanding and so helpful taking our picture! The music playing at the tiki bar nearby was upbeat and pleasant! All in all, it was wonderful!!!

Good was 10/10 so good ! Everything I tried was delicious! Drinks are nasty and a waste of money small cups and it's nasty taste like seltzer water I hated them I tried like 3 all nasty I would just go for the food and the ambience

We sat outside at their Tiki bar area. Nice casual setting. The menu features a large selection of reasonably priced pub style food and drink. They have specials every day and happy hour on weekdays. We had the burrata salad followed by a large, yummy crabcake sandwich. We added an order of French fries which easily feeds 2. The only negative is that smoking is permitted and many patrons were vaping.

You can have any experience you'd like at Villari's Lakeside. There was a large outdoor seating area with music, an inside area with a live band and an adjacent room where you could barely hear the band. The food was great and our server was excellent!

Food was great, the server was very nice, but it seemed like it took forever just to come and do a drink refill or refills that were requested were never brought. Music was way too loud at the tiki bar that we could barely talk amongst our party.

Overall food was good. Service was slow often asked for water, bread and meal took about hour for 4 entrees . Utensils were not set and then a stack of about 20 were placed on the center table . Party of 6.

Was there 4 a family reception in the banquet room. 5 *'s for everything. Would definitely recommend Villari's 4 your next function.

I’ll start by saying the outside has such a cool vibe to it, but $16 for a kids meal???? Can someone explain this to me. Then to charge an extra $4 for a kid drink? I don’t even see those prices at higher end restaurants on kids menu. For a grill cheese and fries? Honestly both my kids meals were more expensive than my meal. Apparently kids drink is supposed to come with the meal, but they charge you $4 on top of it anyway. And not the best service either. Food was good though.

I was not crazy about my food and neither was my husband. I ordered the Ahi Tuna burger and I was very disappointed in the size of the tuna. Very small. We also went to the bar and I had to take back two drinks because they didn't taste like the drinks we had ordered.

We love eating at Villari's Lakeside. Their Rack of Lamb ($36) is the best I have ever had! The Onion Soup was also delicious ($10). We always order the Stuffed Long Hots ($12). Your entrée comes with soup or salad. My husband had the soup of the day & I had the salad. I had a Lemoncello Martini ($9) with my dinner, my husband always has black Coffee ($3), he had a Chocolate Chip Brownie with vanilla ice cream ($8), I had my usual Espresso Martini ($13) for dessert. The total bill was $137.55. When I asked if they charged for using a credit card, our server, Mason, told my husband that if it was paid with CC, they take 3% from his tip to cover the Credit Card charge! WTH! That was NOT stated anywhere! This is why we always tip with cash!

Service, food and portions are excelkent!!!

I usually visit the outside Tiki Bar. Very fun and pretty...with lots of bamboo...and a pond behind the deck. The apps and wraps are good. They offer happy hour and daily specials. (They have full entrees as well.) The bartenders are friendly and helpful. It always seems like everyone is having a good time when they are hanging out at this little tropical deck bar. 🏝

We had nine people we were dining with. Everyone said their dinners were delicious except the person with the risotto with seafood. Very little taste.I had the crab ravioli. It was excellent!

Horrible service. We got there at 545 and we were still waiting for our check at 815. At 545, We asked for a happy hour menu and ordered off of that WHEN the waitress finally came over to us (mind you they gave us 1 HH menu for 7 people) and then they told us the computers automatically cut off pricing at 6 pm (we were told this at 815 when we questioned the pricing on the bill--would have been helpful to know that when we were sat). Any questions we asked the waitress, she wasn't sure about it. We were told the soup was escarole, and then she came back and said it changed right then to beef vegetable. We didn't even get appetizers, so to have to wait an hour for entrees/apps as entrees is ridiculous. The waitress never apologized for the wait, management never apologized for the wait. We spent 400 dollars there, I guess they dont care about the customer. Then we noticed a 20% gratuity to our check was added as we were a party of 7. It's almost as if the waitress knew she was guaranteed her money and didn't care to actually SERVE our table. She left dirty dishes on our table, empty glassware. The only person who deserves any accolades was the bus girl who busted her butt and took care of us. When we questioned the pricing of the Happy hour, the manager came out and told us WE were in the wrong because we didn't understand.
As I write this i have been on hold for 35 minutes waiting to speak to a manager. I would chalk this up to an off experience but I saw a friend there and she said they waited 20 mins to be greeted as well. I Will never go back there. And for those who do, pay close attention to your checks. Shame on you villaris.
