Villari's Lakeside Restaurant

"This was our 1st time here, and we really enjoyed this lunch date. The atmosphere & lake view is delightful. The food and service was great too. We will return."

"Absolutely beautiful facility. I went to a 50th birthday celebration there. The brunch menu was served . They had an omelet station, fresh waffles and all the typical breakfast foods. All of the food was good quality and good taste. The servers were friendly and effective. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. My only suggestion is to update or tighten the banquet chairs. I'm average size and my chair was very wobbly. Just a small thing, but it might be a big deal to someone else. Overall, this place was very nice."

"We went here on. Sunday afternoon expected good food and service because it wasn't very busy. She came out and asked what we wanted anything to drink, She came back over. I said I was starving and I needed to order an appetizer, so I did they didn't bring any bread out , I don't know when they stopped doing this. But I've been going here for years and have always been served bread when I order a past dish. So, the reason for my 2-star review is, As everyone knows, an appetizer comes out before the meal. She brought it out at the same time as my meal. I said I wanted this before my meal, and she just said sorry, and that was the end of it. I was so mad I honestly couldn't enjoy my food. I like to enjoy dishes and don't want to mix Buffalo wings with chicken Francaise. A lot has changed here, and not for the better. It makes me sad because I loved going here. They even took out the rosemary and herbs from the olive oil. They also charge 20% gratuity on $50 or more checks."

"My mother lives in this area and this is the nicest and most unique restaurant I’ve found in the area. I’m from the Jersey Shore and am lucky to have many restaurants that offer outdoor dining by the water. Outdoor dining in nice weather is the ultimate in my opinion. When I googled outdoor dining and discovered this place, I was excited and the restaurant does not disappoint. Nice views of the lake. Great outdoor bar with TV’s. The bartender is friendly. Lots of seating available. Nice selection of beers. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms with a garlic butter sauce. They were excellent. However, I was a little disappointed the last time I visited. It was a weekday and the place was empty. I ordered a drink and sat outside. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms again. But the recipe was different. This time mushrooms were bigger, which was fine. But no butter garlic sauce. Such a disappointment. The sauce made all the difference. For a slow day, I also waited a long time for server to take my order. However, I enjoyed the seafood risotto. Very tasty and the view made up for the wait. There are 2 separate outdoor areas. 1 by the bar and second out the back of restaurant which makes for a More relaxed and finer dining experience I will def be back and hope they change the recipe for mushrooms back to the first time I was there."

"Great food, atmosphere, staff, and drinks. Have been going here for years, and nothing has ever disappointed. The coconut crusted crab cakes are to die for! So many other plates I could rave about too."
