About Lakeside Drift

Lakeside Drift is a restaurant that offers a relaxed setting with plenty of seating inside and out that faces the water. The view of the lake is a highlight, especially when sitting outside with a beautiful view. The menu includes dishes such as fried haddock, fish fry with crispy fries, poutine, crab cake entree, wagyu Burger, and berry bruschetta. Many guests praise the quality of the food, calling it delicious or phenomenal. The raspberry lemon cake is also a favorite. Service is generally described as excellent or friendly, but some reviews note long wait times, 35‑45 minutes for the fish fry, and understaffing, with one waiter covering many tables. Despite this, the overall experience is positive and many people say they would return. The restaurant is located at the new Voco Hotel and is wheelchair accessible. The atmosphere is rated 10 out of 10 by some, and the staff tries hard to keep up with the crowds, though more staff would help. Overall, Lakeside Drift offers tasty food, a scenic view, and a welcoming vibe.
