There's lots of seating inside and outside and it did look like they are adding more to the area. I don't blame them because it is already a popular spot. They have bathrooms which for me they smelt so bad, there's a reason they tell you to close the seat covers to the toilets. Inside the main area you can order anything from beer, hard alcohol, water, food and snacks. The food was mainly burritos are wraps so nothing too crazy to fill someone up where they can't ride back down lol. The vibe here was amazing the music was all reggae so nothing but relaxing good vibes. The view above was something to experience seeing the lake from so high up while sipping beer what more can a snowboarder ask for. This is definitely a spot to stop by and just take in the views while relaxing a bit.

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea the next time we come here...West Shore Cafe was pretty good. There were 5 of us so we all ordered a ton of food(see pics). Service was on point and food for the most part was good but there was one item lacking and that was the Truffle Fries. Normally one thing wouldn't bother us so much but a lot of of us are potato connoisseur and especially love Truffle. So the fact that the flavor was absent in the fries was a little of a let down. Easy fix though. I would just add more Truffle Oil or whatever Truffle ingredient you add to the fries. Aside from that, all of us had a really good time and definitely would come back.

The place is gorgeous right next to the lake, you can't get views that close just anywhere! The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was good, but nothing really gave it that wow factor enough to justify their high prices. There's plenty of parking with their own private lot, but my only other complaint is they don't have a lot of food options to choose from. They explained that it's because of the pandemic, but hopefully they figure things out soon so they can expand their menu a little bit more.

We've been wanting to try this place out for months and we're glad we finally did! The service was…read moregreat, the food was amazing, and the live music and lively atmosphere lent to the amazing experience we had. This place is busy for a reason and the wait is worth it. We came in as Walk-ins and despite the fact that there were 17 parties on the reservation list before us, we still were able to be seated and within 25 minutes. Our server Caroline was quick to get our orders in and as first time visitors, she made excellent suggestions to make our night unforgettable. To start, we had two drinks off the menu, the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot and the Spicy Cucumber Mar-tini. Both were excellent, and the marg-tini had an especially good japalepeno kick, which is what I was looking for. We're normally old fashion kind of drinkers but the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot had excellent flavor and was well balanced, with what tasted like a Tajin mango. The real star of the show was the food though. The server wasn't joking when she said the nachos are best shared with two people, and I even opted for the guacamole. The carnitas were buttery tender and the cheese sauce tasted gourmet and incredibly flavorful. I definitely recommend these! They were probably some of the best nachos I've had, and this is coming from someone that's lived in Santa Barbara for 5 years! Next up was the burrito bowl, and the first thing that comes to mind is: generous! We're used to spending $25 an entree in the city and still leaving the restaurant hungry, but not here. The chips were fresh and crispy and truly taste hand made. The birria beef was amazing and tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions and vinegar sauce was the chefs kiss on an altogether amazing dish. We're so glad to have finally made it over here! Bottom line, this restaurant is worth checking out if you're in the area. It's packed with locals every night, but don't let the long wait times dissuade you, they under-promise and over deliver. These are the best drinks and food with Mexican flare this side of the Sierras, and will become a staple during our visits to the area. If you appreciate good food, drinks, and an amazing mountain atmosphere, you owe it to yourself to put Shadyside Lounge on your short list of places to try, I know I did and the only regret I have is not coming here sooner!

Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully put together. We ordered two encharitos, one with the beef birria and one with the chicken. Both were fantastic, but if you're deciding between the two, get the beef birria. The enchilada sauce is absolutely to die for, and the rich, tender beef put it over the top. The carnitas burrito was incredibleeeee. It was packed with the perfect ratio of carnitas, beans, rice, and all the fixings, so every bite had a little bit of everything. The carnitas were cooked perfectly. It was super tender with great flavor and seasoning. I'm already craving it again. We also started with the guacamole, which was fresh, chunky, and generously portioned. For drinks, we had the House Margarita, the Scratch Cadillac, and the Smoking Gun. The margaritas were refreshing and well-balanced, but a little light on the tequila. The Smoking Gun, on the other hand, had a great spirit-to-flavor ratio. It's definitely smoky (as the name suggests), so if you're a mezcal fan, you'll probably love it (like me!). Service was great. Our waitress was young, incredibly sweet, attentive, and happy to accommodate a few special requests. Just be prepared to wait. It's a small restaurant that's clearly popular, and for good reason. The atmosphere is cute and lively, though it does get pretty loud. That didn't bother me at all, but it's worth mentioning if you're looking for a quieter dinner.

This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We sat at the restaurant bar and also grabbed…read moredrinks from the dock bar, and both were great experiences. The frozen Chambers Punch topped with dark rum was honestly the best frozen cocktail I've ever had. It was incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day, especially by the water. For food, we ordered the deep fried zucchini sticks, the beet and goat cheese salad, and the crispy fish sandwich. Everything was excellent. The zucchini sticks were perfectly cut, crispy, and delicious. The beet and goat cheese salad was fresh and refreshing with a great mix of flavors and dressing. The crispy fish sandwich was perfectly cooked and another great choice for a summer day. If you can, grab a seat at the restaurant bar. It has one of the best views in the whole place. The wait can be long, but it is worth it. If you don't want to wait, they also offer takeout, and there is beach access nearby, making it easy to enjoy your meal by the water. The bartenders were fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk with. Between the food, drinks, views, and service, Chambers is an easy 5-star spot. We'll definitely be back.

I had high expectations for this restaurant because I had heard great things about the food and…read moreatmosphere. While the food was excellent, the service completely overshadowed the experience. From the moment I walked up to the host stand, I was ignored. The hostess and a server were standing there talking and didn't acknowledge me for several moments. Eventually, I was seated. After being seated, I politely asked if I could move to another table. My server, Scott S., said he would check if it was possible. When he returned, he told me the table had a reservation in about an hour. I explained that I was only planning to have a cocktail and an entrée and asked if that would be okay. His response was simply, "I guess." Scott S. cleared the table, pointed to it, and walked away, leaving me to move all of my belongings myself. I still thanked him. While waiting for my food, I overheard the hostess say, right next to me, "No one's moving tables tonight. No exceptions." Whether it was directed at me or not, it made me feel uncomfortable. The food arrived and was genuinely great. Unfortunately, Scott S. never came back to check on us--not once. As someone with over 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I know that checking on guests after their food is served is one of the most basic standards of service. The only person who checked on us was a busser when he refilled our water. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager, only to find out that Scott S. was the manager on duty. To make matters worse, while we were waiting, several servers were standing in the walkway talking amongst themselves instead of attending to guests. The food was excellent, but great food can only carry a restaurant so far. Hospitality is what makes guests want to return, and unfortunately, this experience was disappointing from start to finish. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the kitchen is doing an excellent job, but the front-of-house service needs significant improvement.
