Lakeside Restaurant & Tavern

Visited lakeside on a family vacation for dinner, we waited about 45 minutes for a table for 6 which sucked but the restaurant is terribly understaffed. While we waited we sat at the bar, drinks were heavy on the liquor and the bar tender was airing her grievances about the restaurant being out of everything including the basics like glasses. The restaurant atmosphere could use some help, downstairs bar was closed and the whole place was pretty outdated and dirty

Had dinner with a few friends and was disappointed in food quality and service. Had 3 appetizers which were marginal in taste. The spareribs were disappointing also. We were not finished with our dinner and the girl was clearing things off the table, even tried to remove an unfinished steak dinner one of our friends was still eating. I will not be in a hurry to return here.

It's a beautiful setting with a nice and big outside deck where we feel the breeze coming from the lake. The food was delicious! We had Corey serving us with his delightful personality.

I was never asked how I wanted my burger cooked (it came well done via the "runner") and we had to ask for our check when it wasn't that busy whatsoever. I ordered a Coke and I consumed it within a few minutes. It sat empty before we received our order and remained empty until I was completely done with everything on my plate. Our server stopped by once and we didn't see him until we tracked down a bus boy for our check. The atmosphere was superior and the food was GOOD!

We had a phenomenal dinner out on the deck overlooking the water. Keri was our server and she’s excellent at her job. The food (shrimp tacos, French fries and some pulled pork BBQ mac and cheese) was delicious, and my boyfriend enjoyed his Tom Collins from the bar. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal, beautiful view and perfect service.

I’ve been to lakeside plenty of times and I’ve never once had a bad experience! All the staff is super friendly. They have an amazing bar and great food! I always make my way down to the lower bar and enjoy the amazing lake front experience! Lastly my favorite part about this restaurant is that it’s DOG FRIENDLY! As a dog person myself I love bringing my fury friend to dinner with me.

As a local and an employee that has worked in the industry for over 20 years, my family and I have never been more disappointed with what happened at Lakeside last Thursday. We ordered the fish tacos and a cheeseburger. Let me first start with my wife’s meal, the fish tacos. The menu specifically stated that the fish tacos were haddock. What did my wife get? Shrimp tacos. Now here is the most upsetting part. The food runner came out and stated “shrimp tacos?” While the server loudly said “fish tacos!” Meaning, she knew that the order was wrong and did nothing to fix it! At first glance, the tacos had so many toppings my wife could not see that there was shrimp, not haddock in her tacos. She took a bite and instantly knew something was off. What if my wife was allergic to shellfish? She also dislikes shrimp. She did not eat it and just let the server take the meal. No apology from our server. Now let’s discuss my meal. When ordering my cheeseburger I asked for no tomato. The server stated “it will come on it so just take it off.” In industry words, this means she cannot ask the cook (or chef) for modifications to meals. This is unacceptable for any restaurant. The burger was a frozen Sysco patty, completely flavorless. We will not come back and will not recommend at the establishments we work at for the tourists that ask where they should go to eat on Keuka Lake.

Nice place to sit outside on the deck on the lake, especially on a beautiful day like we had. A fair selection of food that is prepared and presented very well. And the service is good even if they get busy. Staff is friendly and helpful. We'll be going back.
