    Crab Cake Benedict
    Stephanie B.

    Lives up to its name! Parking is decent if you get there before 10am. After that the place fills up. It is a bit small and cramped but lovely windows, bar and atmosphere! Our waitress Amanda was amazing! I recommend the Crab Cake Benedict!

    Scenic View is worth the drive for Sunday brunch, but don't go when it's hot out because the AC doesn't work. Generally the food is excellent, albeit a bit slow to arrive. Service is often mediocre, you might get lucky and get a waitress that is friendly, but there's only a few of them. The restaurant inside is outdated and horribly laid out, but the patio is nice and updated. Go for the view, stay for the food, accept the inadequacies.

    Sick and tired of the lazy hippie landlubbers at Runcible Slit Your Wrists Spoon, we decided to find a real breakfast joint. What we found was nothing short of spectacular - the Scenic View Lodge overlooking Lake Monroe. Unexpectedly good service. High quality ingredients. And a beautiful view. Brunch entrées range from $7-$10.50. And with the NON-hippie-I-live-in-a-filthy-shitterhole-and- bring-my-lazy-habits-to-work waitstaff, Scenic View is a refreshing alternative to Runcible and well worth it.

    Went there for dinner and it was a really unpleasant experience! Service was slow and bad! I waited for 10 mins after I got there to be asked for a drink, I ordered a caipirinha, and it wasn't nothing but liquor on it, no limes, no sugar, nothing but alcohol. I expressed my discontent with the drink but they didn't offer any solution Food was on time but nothing really worth the drive! In general if you are going just for the view, then is a good option, just get a drink and order some fries to spend the afternoon there!

    The view from the restaurant.

    I love this place. It is a bit on the small side, but the view of Lake Monroe is nice. I haven't been here in summer yet, but it appears to have a lot of outdoor seating as well. The food is great. Try the crab cake eggs Benedict! The drink menu is vast. This is a great place off of the beaten path.

    Biscuits & gravy with tomatoes.

    Great view. Don't expect much from the food. Three out of the four people didn't really like their dinner.

    Great food, great view and a great draft selection! Wish they offered more live music but still a fine experience overall. Would recommend!

    Scenic View is on the top of a hill overlooking Lake Monroe, which just adds to the divey feel.

    I was surprised this location was still open after many others closed including the one closest to…read moreme in Camby. This location is larger than the one I've been to. It was 1:15 pm on a Tuesday so the dining rooms and bar were sparsely populated. I ordered the Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich with no mayo and added lettuce and tomato. I substituted the Rice Pilaf for their fries. The food was okay. The two sliced tomatoes could have been bigger and another leaf of lettuce would have been nice but I didn't leave hungry. The chicken was a big portion sticking way out of the bun. The rice was pretty good. My server was very attentive and brought out my check early like I asked so I could get going. I visited the restroom and it was really clean considering the lunch hour had just transpired. The floor was dry everywhere. The paper towel dispenser was stocked. Parking was no issue since there were plenty of spaces by the front door.

    Went there for Happy Hour. According to website Margoritas were $5 and certain apps were supposed…read moreto be half off. Told the bartender we wanted the $5 margs and ordered the apps. She said margs $6 all day every day. We showed her the insert where it said $5. She said she didn't know anything about that. Happy Hour is 3-5 at our location. We were there at 4. The drinks were maybe a total of 4oz. Small. Told her we were done about 4:55. She gave us our checks after 5 and the bill was $6 margs and apps were full price. Talked to her again about happy hour. She said she couldn't do anything bc that is how it rang up. Spoke with manager, very nice, about all the confusion. He ended up comping our 2 drinks but couldn't do anything about the app prices bc again it was after 5pm? We ate drank and were done before 5. At this point it is the principal of the matter.
