We ate here for the first time tonight. It's a super cute Bavarian cottage with excellent food and great service. We started with the crab rangoon per my daughter's request. They were great. She got the kid's prime rib. It's the first time I've ever seen that on a kids menu. She loved it. I got a special. It was Gouda medallions. Tenderloin medallions covered in a smoked Gouda and mushroom sauce. OMG. It was AMAZING and they need to add it to their regular menu. I don't like mushrooms, but it was easy to avoid them. My parents and son were also with us and enjoyed their entrees, but they were forgettable compared to mine. We also got the homemade key lime pie for dessert. It was delicious. Steve is an excellent server. We'll definitely be back next time we visit the area! read more

Came here on Valentine's Day with reservations! Thank goodnesss because there was a good sized waiting line when we left. Strip steak, 2 Bentleys Cut prime rib - all med. Rare...excellent! Salads were excellent as well...I have tried all the dressings and like the French the best. Service was spot on, as usual. This place is one of the best restaurants are the Lake! read more

Crab cakes were phenomenal, salads were wonderful, baked potatoes were amazing, and our steaks were great as well. Service was amazing. Facility ran seamlessly. If you want a good meal with great service, I highly recommend. Family owned establishment, the owner personally greeted and sat every customer that came through the door. Was running the whole time, setting tables, clearing tables, etc. read more

Another wonderful Valentine's Day. The appetizer was great, huge shrimp in the shrimp cocktail. The salads were crisp and well chilled. Our steaks were prepared perfectly. We also had the spinach casserole which was excellent. Best of all was the dessert. Kevin made Red Velvet Cake with a fantastic icing. His desserts are always a hit. They were extremely busy tonight, and I felt like the service was a little rushed. Overall I would definitely recommend. read more

Phenomenal service Exquisite food highly highly recommend. If you're in the area make this your number one destination for a quiet relaxing delicious dinner . read more

We visited in early April on a Friday at 5:00. I was surprised it wasn't busier than it was. Our server, Sandy, was very attentive and helpful choosing our meals. My wife had the filet medallions with smoked gouda and mushroom sauce and I had the Bentley's Cut prime rib. Both were fantastic. The medallions were the off-menu special, so they are not always available. If they are, though, I highly recommend getting the prime rib and requesting a side of the smoked gouda sauce. Sandy suggested it and that combination was out of this world! I've read several reviews about the prime rib being over-done. If you are picky, I do recommend ordering one level rarer than you normally do. My medium-rare was more on the medium side than the rare. It was still great, though. I also had the French onion soup and my wife had the clam chowder. Of the two, the French onion was our favorite and it was one of the best restaurant soups either of us have had. Both meals were fantastic, the atmosphere was calm and pleasant, and the overall experience will likely encourage us to take a trip back to the lake just for a meal. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time and are already looking forward to returning. read more

We went to dinner here for our Anniversary which was Valentine's day. The service was very good and the food was outstanding!

Well first, food was amazing as it always is! Service was omni present with refills and fresh bread. And the restaraunt offers a comfortable classy motif. It's a little older style but it blends their menu offerings and drinks and makes you feel like you're in the right place at the right time. Sorry I didn't take a picture of my desert, apple crisp.. was amazing. And to top it all off, I lost and could not find my phone. Back dining room. Staff and kitchen staff where great going through the areas to ensure it wasn't tossed in laundry with a roll napkin! Ended up falling out in my car and getting stuck in the NONO spot. I would reccomend this restaurant to anyone looking to eat an amazing dinner at a decent price in a very nice quiet ambience. read more

The inside is a trip back in time to the 1970s - with thick glass candles covered in netting (they still make those??), and old fashioned wall sconces. I lovingly call this place The Regal Beagle because it looks like some place out of the Three's Company sitcom. All that said, despite the dated interior, I have never had a bad meal. I've always found the staff to be attentive and kind, and it appears they have a lovely patio to dine on - although i have not had the pleasure.. Good place to dine - especially if you enjoy nostalgia from a 70s steakhouse vintage look, but also enjoy decent food. read more

Great meal for our anniversary. Main dishes of salmon was the best and the garlic shrimp was superb. Great wait staff and their welcoming of our anniversary was was fantastic. We for a picture and and a window table was extra special. Thank you. We'll be back. Thank you. read more

Awesome food and employees. Love this place. Highly recommended. Old school lake of the ozarks. Best clam chowder ever.

We ordered pre-dinner drinks at the bar, and when I asked for an Old Fashioned, out came a packet of sugar, maraschino cherries (not Luxardo), and a splash of club soda on top. That was my first sign things weren't going to go well. The overall vibe is "old school" higher-end restaurant, but sadly, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I don't mind paying for good food, so I went with the prime rib. It wasn't terrible, but I've never had one where half the weight was bone. I ordered medium rare--it came out well done. The horseradish sauce was watery and flavorless, and the baked potato tasted like it came straight from the microwave. The service, however, was the greatest part of our experience--friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the overall meal. Not sure what the hype is all about, but we won't be back. We'll stick with our favorites like Baxters, 1932 Reserve, or--even believe it or not--Tire Biters for a much better meal. read more

Loved everything from atmosphere to service to, of course, food. Started with half dozen very plump oysters. Then I had their famous prime rib- the 12 Oz cut - medium rare and it was perfect. Served with salad with delicious blue cheese dressing. I added the blue cheese crumbles by that was too much. M had the 8oz filet which was delicious - better than my prime rib! Baked potatoes were perfect. read more

This is the best place at LOZ to have Prime Rib! PERIOD Top notch service! JUST GO! read more

Nice to start the season at Bentleys. Always great food and service. Our main stay for about 25 years.

Bentleys restaurant holds the spot as my favorite steakhouse in the lake of the Ozarks. The low-lit ambiance has such a nice vibe. My favorites from the menu were the french onion soup and prime rib! My boyfriend got the ribeye and lobster tails and loved it! Definitely will go back next time i'm in the area again. read more

Bentley's Restaurant - Prime rib - Seafood Near Me - Lake Ozark, Missouri

First time eating here, and was not disappointed. The food was fantastic and the service was even better. We asked many questions and our server did his best to answer them. It was a little pricey but you get what you pay for and if you only eat here once or twice a year, it is definitely worth it. And I almost forgot to mention the atmosphere, so cozy and inviting. read more

This place should receive a Michelin star. Best escargot I've ever had, it is better than Le Fou Frog in Kansas City. The prime rib is very flavorful and the crabs were very fresh. The service level here is beyond what is expected, proper steakhouse service level. I'm a fan and will mark this to be my favorite restaurant in the lake of the Ozarks. Bonus, best sunset view. read more

Food and service were excellent. Old school steakhouse at its best. Steaks, prime rib and coconut pie for dessert. What could be better?

The menu offers many tempting selections. The pork shank was fabulous. The view was outstanding. The service was so, so. Very slow and our waitress seemed a bit confused at times. We will be going back again. Making sure we have a different server. read more

We hoped to eat on the patio but owner said not enough staff for both dinning room & patio. Bummer. Dinning room very old style but packed with dinners. Food was excellent with good sized portions, my date & I had salmon & waitress asked if we wanted it medium or well done. We ordered medium & fish as well as sides were great, Good service & food equal very enjoyable evening. read more

Took my hubby for his birthday to Bentley's. As always, the meal was without a doubt amazing. The service was fantastic, friendly, and so attentive. Prime Rib, my husband got, was huge. He got the smaller one and was glad he didn't order the huge one, as it was more than you could eat. The meat was a great cut with very little waste for prime rib cooked as he likes it, blue rare. Their French onion soup is so delicious. If you want a nice, relaxing meal, you can bet it will be the best here. read more

Food was OK. Seasoning would have went a long way. Our waitress was not very friendly. The best part of our night was watching the staff try to catch a chipmunk that got into the restaurant read more

My favorite place at the lake. If you're from St Louis it has a similar old school feel like Al's. Though being known for steaks the chicken picatta and French onion soup are stand outs. However my favorite is the fact I can get bordelaise AND bernaise sauces on the side. Bill and team are great hosts and the service is always impeccable. Also the outdoor patio and fireplace is fantastic. read more

We had a very good experience! We had a great meal and experience at Bentley's! We've eaten at most all of the steakhouses around the lake area over many years, but for some reason had not yet been to Bentley's. Well we tried for New Year's Eve, but couldn't get in. Our server was great, and the cadence of everything was perfect. Started with the French Onion Soup and it was the best I have ever had by far. I wanted another bowl for desert, but was just too full. I started to order the Clam Chowder instead, and our server more/less steered me to the Onion, which I appreciated very much after my first bite. I had the Prime Rib, wife and son had the Fillet. All were good. I've certainly had better Prime Rib, but it was good. Also one of the best salads I've had. They ask if you want Blue Cheese crumples which I'm all about, and my gosh it was good! Baked potato also great. I like the way our server guided us in ordering the appetizers/soup, and then came back at the right moment to order our meal. Everything was served promptly and timely. Didn't overlap and we didn't have to wait long for each course. Also appreciate very much that one side and a salad is included with your steak price!!!! Let me say again how much I appreciate that at a great Steak House! This was actually a deciding factor in choosing Bentley's after browsing about three different Steak establishment's menus. We still ended up spending over $200 for the three of us with tip, but competitive for what you get here compared to some others in the area. This is my new favorite Steak House at the lake! We will be back! read more

Outside this place looks like an old Steak n Ale...if you remember those, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Inside...well, it looks like a Steak n Ale too!! Absolutely loved the nostalgia. Staff greeted and seated us immediately at 5pm when it opened on a Tuesday. Waitress provided us a rundown of the specials (excellent!) and made some recommendations. We ordered 2 prime ribs and my son ordered a shrimp plate. The prime ribs were huge cuts with the rib bone in, and were cooked perfectly medium rare. Salads and sides (baked potato-me and broccoli-wife) came with. Food was really good, service and personality of all staff is what made this visit outstanding. First time visiting and will definitely go here again if we return in the future. Location is a little tricky to find, it's on a curve, and the signage isn't the best...but don't let that deter you. This is a great place to have a nice dinner! read more

We found this restaurant on yelp and I'm glad we tried it. Our waiter was very attentive and gave great recommendations. We had the best French Onion soup that I've ever day. So thick and cheesey and flavorful. Then the salad was just enough and fresh. The steak was cooked to perfection bursting with flavor. The rolls were hot and yummy and the Yukon POTATOES-the BEST! The patio was closed for the night and the indoor restaurant is a little dark, but it set the mood. I highly recommend! read more

Always a standard at the lake of the quality food prepared well with the service doing an absolute wonderful job

I love the Romanesque/Early Gothic art style of the place. The food is amazing and the workers are nice. read more

It doesn't look like it been remodeled since the 70s, but it looked clean. I don't mean this in a bad way...I think that's the vibe they want to have. The service was outstanding. The filets and the scampi were wonderful. The scampi had bread crumbs and cheese and man they were good. The sea bass was awesome as well. Deserts included cheese cake and apple crisps, both were great. Great dining experience. We've gone to a lot of high end steak places and this was better than all of them. Not crazy expensive, 260 before tip with 4 people. read more

Absolutely delicious! Excellent service and a beautiful "fine dining" atmosphere.. Bentley's offers excellent pricing compared to other similar restaurants at the lake. Food is incredible, good prime rib and mouth-watering appetizers make this one of my favorite places at the lake!

This place has been a staple at the Lake for years. The menu is outdated and could use some updating along with the decor. Food is consistent and the server was great at his job. You don't hear that much anymore. Still a good option for a nice sit down meal. read more
