Parking may be tough, and an unsolved runned down person. Be careful if you have to cross Rt 9. Wicked view, service, was excellent yesterday. Senior friendly, fair prices. Not like next Town back. no owner or anybody butting into your business.

Beautiful view even in the winter. Nice and cozy restaurant. Definitely will be back in the summer. Loved the gorgonzola alfredo. Not many places have a gorgeous dish and that's what drew me into trying this place

Wonderful lakeside dining. No reservations required Beautiful view of the water from the outside patio. No waiting. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Both food and atmosphere were delightful. Extensive menu at affordable prices. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset dinner on the patio overlooking the lake . On Friday nights, they have live music inside from 7-9pm. Free Valet Service available. A memorable dining experience.

Stopped in with some friends and had lunch. Best burgers cook perfect. Atmosphere is awesome right on the lake. Highly recommend this place for a good time. Bartender kept us laughing.

Me and my husband went for dinner Friday night. We made reservations and put we wanted to be seated outside because it's always a hassle to get a spot out there, I was extremely happy we were able to sit out there this time. I had an espresso martini which was strong but I loved that! I ordered the alfredo with steak which was s good, and my husband got the fish and chips and the fish was huge, he loved it! We have been coming here for years and every trip is always a great experience! Highly recommend coming here if your in the area and never been!

Very spectacular service. I ordered the Thursday special of shrimp primavera, and it tasted like spring. It was bland but I dig that because it wasn’t salty and heavy at all. My fiance got the French sandwich, and that was good! My mom got the fish and chips. We went during the nighttime, so there wasn’t much of a view of the lake, but we will probably try again in the afternoon/day time! There aren’t many restaurants around this area, so I highly recommend!

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at 308 Lakeside with our amazing waitress, Jen. We started with a Clam Chowder & Loaded Bloody Mary, which is only available on Sundays. For entrees, he had the Cajun Prime Rib with a Cesar & Butternut Squash, which was full of flavor. I had the Baked Haddock with Mashed Potatoes & Bacon Gouda Stuffing. Everything was seasoned perfectly & the service was amazing. First time and not the last, looking forward to the new menu for fall!

My wife and I love it here whether alone or with our three children, and whether we sit inside in the winter or outside on the beautiful patio in the summer. The food and service are consistent. The people are kind. It is spacious. We’ve never had a poor meal. For short time portions seemed to become wildly small, but that was probably a “one off” and it was during some incredibly volatile times for owners. We continue to go often as do many friends and family! Go enjoy!
