    Tuna, avocado sandwich with pub chips
    Ronald N.

    I've eaten here a number of times and it's always nice. Beautiful view of lake and a nice nautical country club decor. Went with a large group and all seemed pleased with the meals and friendly service. I had the blackened tuna sandwich with arugula and avocado and a side of pub chips. Small bun but very tasty sandwich. Tuna had a well seasoned crust and it had plenty of avocado. Could have used a more substantial bun to make it a more filling meal. Chips were tasty and very crispy. My wife was very pleased with her arugula salad.

    The view is incredible! This is a fun spot to enjoy near the water. The staff members are friendly for the most part. The food is good -- I wouldn't say it lives up to its prices, but you can tell the prices are what they are because of the view. This is a great place to bring anyone visiting from out of town. I usually go for brunch as the dinner prices don't seem worth it to me.

    Such a fun place with a nice view of the water. I made a reservation for dinner and asked for a table for 2 with a view. However, we were seated in between the bar, a big group and families with children. Not the romantic spot I was envisioning. I looked around and saw empty small tables and asked to be moved. It was much more cozy, quiet, scenic, and a lot less noisy. Why not seat a table for 2 here to begin with? From then on we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a terrific server. Thanks Tyler! The drinks were fun and the food delicious. One of the best spots on the lake!

    Bad food, overpriced and boring...

    Prices keep gouging patrons and the preparation, presentation, and flavors still suck. $21 for a scoop of bland hummus?!

    Overall, this experience was meh. The food was just bad overall. I had ribs which were flavorless, my family had the ravioli which was way too sweet and the crab cakes tasted bad. The service was good but that the extent of good things I have to say. Won't be back.

    Service was great and timely. Beautiful location on Lake Geneva, with incredible bar and interior. Makes a nice getaway from the hustle bustle of Downtown. Great for any occasion! The fish tacos were very tasty. Will be back.

    Kids eat for free and with the Santa cruise boarding pass, kids can also get a free dessert. Such a treat! Service was excellent, friendly staff. I got crispy chicken slider with a salad on the side. It was very yummy. A lot of people on the same cruise went there for dinners. It was a great Friday night to see Christmas lights with a delicious meal after. My kid finished all the food he ordered.

    I honestly love this place. Have been twice in the last 3 months. If you sit outside somewhere, they have an amazing ambiance. It is the only restaurant you can pull up to when you're on the boat in Lake Geneva. The food is great and so are the drinks! We brought our friends from Maine and they loved it too.

    WOW!!! my husband and I had the best night for Lynyrd Skynyrd . We had VIP and perfect seats! Great venue and the foooooooddd!!! Yum...the best filet mignon I've ever had!!!! Bar was great! What a fun enjoyable evening!!! You must go into shop and see all the history in the walk way and bar area.

    DO BETTER! Why with such a great view & good service can your food not be up to par? My husband ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and received lox. Be honest with what you're serving - $30 for a lox eggs Benedict is a bit much. We've been coming here for years and I often say no to coming back because of things like this. My omelet was good not great. Our food came out looking great but lack of flavor really leaves us with a bad taste for this place.

    Listen to these reviews and don't waste your money please. I want to cry with our waste tonight. The only pros: the igloo (half of the light on the bottom was out). Decent drinks. Nice service. Cons: the food!!! So damn overpriced, and beyond subpar. $400 for 2 adults, 1 infant, 1 child. We even shared an entree, which was chicken sliders (waiters recommendation, which should be a red flag). Never again, truly. My son got a hamburger. We got a steak for the table and it was full blown butane flavor. Like no one ate it. Fries and Caesar salad were good. The ambiance was wonderful. Not close to what it costs to be there.

    Food, service and ambiance were awesome! We sat outside and the staff was very attentive, especially when it started to rain, they immediately covered our seating. Our server was awesome. Super personable and knowledgable with making food choices that accommodated allergies. Food was outstanding. We all wish we lived closer but will be here every time in town!

    A location like no other. The best available view of Lake Geneva , combined with a best in class restaurant, bar, and boat dock.

    The one thing I cannot say exactly was how much we paid for the room because out of the thousands…read moreof hotels that have stayed at and reviewed throughout my entire Yelp career, this room felt like a above average budget hotel. We enjoyed it there was a balcony outside but that balcony rail is absolutely loose it seems like a liability waiting to happen. There's plenty of tourists here and a lot of people will act like they forgot how to park or they expect top notch privilege which will make going up to the front desk a giant pain upon arrive . If you see a parking spot near the front just take it and walk in and check in . Some of the amenities are pretty cool but I do feel like this place was a bit overrated for the time being. This place felt very outdated as well but this place can be pretty much dead at certain times of the year. The breakfast here is solid but it is absolutely expensive if you go for the Continental package. They charged me $54 and it wasn't even all that good it's probably worth $30 at best. If I knew it was going to be that expensive and underwhelming I would have walked to the gas station and probably paid $10. I will say that there are Lobby shines bright and so does their bar. Whenever there's a party going on usually there's a lot of life going on over here. If you're going to go anywhere and not drive , I recommend taking an Uber and not a Lyft because the price difference is huge. For an expensive stay, I will lean that this place was a 2.75 star experience. So I will leave it at three stars.

    I had an outstanding experience at The Abbey thanks to Illeyana--also known (and now forever…read moreremembered) as Ms. Goldfish. From the moment we walked in, her energy, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness set the tone for the entire visit. She was on top of everything--quick service, great recommendations, and always checking in without being overbearing. It's rare to find someone who makes you feel both taken care of and completely relaxed at the same time, but Illeyana nailed it. The nickname "Ms. Goldfish" fits perfectly--she kept things fun, memorable, and just a little bit legendary. If you're heading to The Abbey, do yourself a favor and ask for her. Customer service like that is hard to come by. We'll definitely be back!
