“This was our second visit to Lakeside Bistro at Black Butte Ranch, and it reminded us why we came back. We enjoyed it the first time, but this visit really confirmed that it's one of our favorite places to eat when we're here.
The lakeside setting is beautiful and relaxing, and the restaurant itself is much larger than it appears from the outside. Even when it's busy, it never feels crowded or rushed.
Between the six of us, we ordered the chili verde, Mandarin chicken salad, Margherita pizza, BBR BLTA, cheeseburger, and turkey sandwich. Everyone genuinely enjoyed their meal. In fact, there wasn't a single dish that drew anything less than an enthusiastic thumbs up from around the table.
One thing I like about Lakeside Bistro is that it's more than just a restaurant. There's a small market and gift shop connected to the dining area, so it's fun to wander around a bit before heading out. They also serve espresso drinks, which made for a nice pick-me-up for the drive back.
Will we be back? Without question. Good food, good friends, and a beautiful view over the lake is a winning combination.
