Lakeside Restaurant and Bar

"Lakeside Restaurant on Lake Dr West in Wayne, especially the dining room is a top favorite of ours. Except when they host private parties in the dining room, which we have done, you can almost always get a table, but they do take reservations just to be safe. White table cloths, elegant dining setup including wine glasses, nice Italian bread without having to ask, O&V on the table, and its BYO. Sal who is the maitre d', except when David the owner is the house, and Rene always provide great service. Very decent menu of Italian entrees, American dishes, pub style grub, and always some great specials. If you are looking for a quiet and elegant experience for dinner which will not break the bank – Lakeside is the place."

"Best service, atmosphere and food ! We rented their private room for a baby shower and my family and friends loved it. The staff was courteous and efficient and so friendly. Sal the manager took care of everything from the start. We will definitely be back !"

"Very nice dining experience! I met a friend here for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised! We both had the fish lunch special with a salad appetizer. The service was great by Sal and the food was very good. We both enjoyed it very much! We would definitely recommend. The view is also beautiful as an added plus!"

"Was looking for a late night dinner and wanted to try something that would either be an amazing surprise or totally awful, this was thankfully an amazing surprise! Who would expect to find such good food next to a lake association, where half the space is an Italian restaurant and half is a sports bar. Tried the French onion soup and Caesar salad - I don't know what they did to that soup but it was the perfect line between sweet and salty and gooey cheese, and the Caesar was coated with exactly the right amount of creamy delicious dressing. Also tried the "Baked Alaskan cod" and that is what prompted me to take a picture. Never had anything like this - light, perfectly cooked cod with a really different flavor profile and well seasoned vegetables. Also, it's billed as Italian but there were a lot of interesting Asian and Caribbean inspired options on the menu. Gotta come back when it's not 10 pm and try out a proper dinner."

"Was looking for a "lakeside" restaurant near me and found this place. Stopped in for lunch and sat at the far end of the bar. Nice view of the lake and beach outside. There was an older couple in the middle of the bar having lunch and several very loud guys at the other end of the bar. They didn't really bother me but I wondered if they bothered the couple in the middle. Maybe they were all locals and it didn't matter. The dining room was behind me and it was empty. Maybe it's more of a dinner and drinks kind of place. Anyway, I ordered the French Onion Soup and a burger and fries and it was all very good. The soup was hot, hot, hot so make sure you have a cold drink if you order the soup! Yeah, I'm the weirdo that orders hot soup on a 90° day! The bartender was friendly and the service was very good. Prices were very reasonable, too. Glad I stopped in and would definitely go back. I don't think there was access to the beach/lake but I took a pic from the bar and also by holding my camera over the fence outside. Nice area."
