Battered and fried green bell peppers? I had to order them with my sandwich simply because I've…read morenever had them anywhere. I'm glad I did. They were delicious. It's very similar to the flavor of a jalapeño popper (without the bacon, cream cheese, or the heat). They have a modest sized parking lot that is a one-way. We sat at the bar and both had sandwiches. I ordered a burger but subbed out the beef patty for a chicken breast. The chicken breast was seasoned and juicy, but it actually made the American cheese on my sandwich a little too slippery. Better than the alternative, though! I would eat here again, but I might try something different next time. The menu wasn't super large, but they had enough apps, sandwiches, and burgers to choose from.

The Cuban sandwich was fresh and delicious! The service was lacking - we had to ask for salt & pepper. We were never offered sweetener for our tea.

Our table's orders included: *) the trashcan nachos (superb!) *) the club sandwich (tasty, toothsome, and better than expected) *) the Cuban sandwich (gloriously drippy and delightful) *) the bacon and blue burger (topped with a fried egg and bacon jam!) *) the wedge salad (nice and crunchy and fresh, although the tomato jam was a tad sweet for me) ... and an off menu shrimp cocktail that was weirdly excellent. The plump, good sized shrimp arrived warm and spicy without cocktail sauce or mayo. Not standard, but very tasty! We will definitely be back.

What a find! Bottom line: excellent. Staff is welcoming, cheery, helpful and professional. Their…read morerecommendations were honest and spot-on. Cocktails were expertly prepared and served. And the food...simply the best we've enjoyed in Mason City. Dry-rub wings appetizer (lemon pepper and mesquite) were generously sized and entirely delectable. NY strip with mashed potato, asparagus and mushroom demi was first-rate, top-drawer and perfectly prepared mid-rare. Legacy burger with sumptuous Gouda Mac and cheese was expertly grilled mid-rare and deliciously bacon-forward. And the crème brûlée was, to be honest, one of the best we've ever tasted. We visited on a slow Saturday so enjoyed the very pleasant quiet ambiance. Had such a great experience that we're headed back tomorrow morning for brunch knowing it will deliver another 10/10 dining adventure. Bistro Nineteen is a winner.

Was not impressed with the appetizer menu at all. Only 3 items. Ordered the Filet Migon. No bread, soup or salad served with your meal. You can order that for extra price. The steak came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I ordered mine rare and it was excellent. Flavor was great. 8 oz was a great size. Then on to dessert. They were out of the item we ordered, but the waitress brought a piece of cheesecake on the house since they were out. The only complaint was really the no bread or soup/salad served with the steak. Over all wonderful time and we will go back again.

Apparently french fries are a premium upgrade, and a two dollar up charge to my buffalo chicken wrap. I was never offered utensils, catchup, or napkins. There was zero interaction, and she never even bothered to take the menus from me I would give this place another try, but I would definitely not sit at the bar if she was the one working. The other waitresses seemed to be doing a great job.

The public entryway to Lakeside Landing is horrible. The heating cooling and ventilation units for The Lakeside Inn are on the entryway side of the building and are thoroughly unattractive. The entryway is also just adjacent to the garbage dumpsters and they smelled badly... The food is good and the view is nice, but the service and entrance are such that I would not want to take friends there.

We started with Buffalo wings. Requested extra crispy. All wings and no drums. Did not disappoint. For entrees I went beef and husband went pork. The meat was undercooked for my taste so I would not order this dish again. Husband gave the pork a good review. We both enjoyed the seasonal veggie side. The hasbrown-like potato side I tried was very well done. We hope this becomes a place we can return to year after year when we visit the Clear Lake area.

Local here who visited for the first time for a birthday dinner. This place was okay, not great…read more Catarino was not very attentive, even though the place had 2 other tables when we arrived. We were having to flag them down for requests. The Hawaiian Mac n Cheese was described as both "Mac n Cheese with Carrots" and 'Mac and Cheese with Pineapple" by two different staff... it was macaroni salad. We asked for a pasta spoon and some Ketchup and Catarino sighed loudly and seemed inconvenienced or annoyed by the request. The Sweet Potato Fries had cinnamon and sugar on them, which sweet + sweet = saccharine, so they were not a side dish as much as they should have been a dessert. We gave feedback to Catarino about our meal, but they argued with us instead of just accepting the feedback. We left a 30% tip on a sizable tab despite the meal and service... We won't be back.
