Both the burgers and the BLT had no flavor, the bacon was burnt to a crisp to a point where it was falling apart, and the fries were raw on the inside. The decor was cute but it was dirty, the garbage that was in plain view of everyone was full and spilling onto the ground. The tables were sticky like they haven't been wiped off in weeks. Not impressed, will not return.

Decided to meet up with an old friend for breakfast on my way out of town. They made the…read morerecommendation, and thankfully, I was not disappointed. It was the weekend and breakfast appeared to be served all day. The menu is old-school and no-nonsense -- simple diner staples and exactly the kind of items you would expect from a place like this. The food itself was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. There is not much in the way of ambiance, and the restaurant itself is fairly small, so it can get loud when busy. That said, the service was quick and genuinely friendly. Overall, a solid classic breakfast spot that focuses more on good food than atmosphere -- and honestly, that works just fine here.

Decor/atmosphere is very nice. An extremely pleasant environment. I enjoyed sitting by the fireplace both times.

My boyfriend and I decided to dine here last night before a country concert. Our reservation was at…read more5pm and boy am I glad we had reservations two hours before the concert because this place was not ready for the crowd they were about to receive. I did appreciate that we were seated right away (reservations took priority over walk ins) but it took about 10 minutes before we were handed waters and menus. It then took 30 minutes before we received our appetizer to which we were then told the rest of our food was done at the same time. Typically, I don't prefer to eat my appetizer at the same time as my entree, but in this case I worried with how slow of service we were receiving I wouldn't see my entree for another hour. Almost all of our food was amazing. I ordered a house salad and the Fillet of Beef with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and wild rice soup and the prime rib. He said the prime rib wasn't anything to write home about but it did the job. Overall, service was slow but everyone was super nice. I think they just need to hire a few more people which I know is difficult to do. I really hope this place can find the help they need because the food is so good and I want to see this place continue to succeed.

Went for a drive on a Saturday morning and ended up at Lakeview restaurant for breakfast. We…read moreordered typical northern-midwest breakfast including eggs, sausage, pancake, hashbrowns and toast. It took a little longer than expected to get our food but the over-easy eggs were fine and the pancake was excellent. The toast was toward the burnt side which happens to be how we like it, although not ordered that way. The hashbrowns appeared to originate from frozen, not fresh but that is typical for the area. The restaurant is connected to a convenience store that operates a doorbell each time the door is opened. If you can put up with frequent 'ding-dong' during your meal it won't bother you. The bathrooms are quite small, one-person only, which is odd because the restaurant also contains a bar. Prices were a little high for a typcial breakfast diner but Lakeview is in a tourist-oriented area so they charge a little more. The wait staff was friendly and appeared to check back with customers frequently. I would go there again.

I heard another customer who was raving about the poutine and desserts. The chef put thought into his dishes and it shows. I had the chicken ceased wrap and it had the perfect combo of ingredients and the veggies were great, homemade croutons were a welcome surprise in a wrap and they added the perfect crunch to every bite. I also opted for the fresh coleslaw mentioned by the waitress it was delish! My dining partner ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of fresh creamed cucumber salad the other fresh offering mentioned by the server. She also shared that many of the veggies are farm to table! We both agreed that both cold salads were amazing! We both cleared our plates and visited with the waitstaff who shared the history and significance of some of the artwork featured in the restaurant.

After planning to meet someone at Old Market and finding out they were closed that day, my lunch…read moredate suggested this cafe. She had been here several times before and was a fan, but this was my first time. I perused the menu, but she kept recommending the pasta. It's actually a pretty neat menu; they have a pasta dish for different regions of the world. The French pasta is Spinach Dill, the Greek pasta has tomatoes and feta and black olives, etc. So that's cool. I ordered the Greek pasta and thoroughly enjoyed it. I asked for the half portion and I still couldn't finish it, so you could easily share a plate with someone if you wanted to. The other perk of my meal was the water. It's self-serve and has cucumbers and/or lemons in it. Nummmmmmmy! The dessert was magical. My lunch date picked out some baklava and shared it with me. Good gracious... like a celebration of cinnamon! Four stars for the food, five stars for the desserts, but ultimately I went with a three-star rating. I value "the experience" at a restaurant, including the ambiance and decor and vibe, and a cafe attached to a children's museum (although awesome) does not leave me inspired. That being said, it's great that they have such a fine quality eatery available for the families to eat at after a day at the museum!
