    Pretty bar!
    Donna G.

    Always a great visit. We were there for late lunch so pretty quiet but people started to come in. One server and she did a great job. The outside is great in nice weather but the enclosed sunroom had a lovely view. Food is good and good portions. Can't wait for summer!!

    Cheese steak and onion rings

    Good food and service Bonus Lake view! Had the cheese steak with provolone cheese and onion rings, Sooo much food !!

    Outside lake view

    4.25/5. This place is situated right on Saylors Lake, giving them an unprecedented view from their outside dining deck - well worth sitting area. We were there on a Saturday evening, and they had nice band music going on in their indoor dining area as well. The server was friendly and professional. The Bavarian Pretzels and French Onion soup we had as appetizers were very good. My girl said the Shepherd's Pie was average, but good. My cheesesteak was pretty good as well. Overall, the place, the superb view, the service, the food, and the decent prices means I will definitely be back there again. Well worth a visit.

    Crab cake dinner
    Thomas M.

    The Lakeside looks to be a great place to enjoy the warm summer evenings with dinner in the restaurant or appetizers on the patio overlooking the lake. On a recent evening I visited for dinner inside to check out the food. My meal of crab cakes and special wasabi mashed potatoes was a winner. The 2 cakes were large, moist and meaty. The potatoes I borrowed from the scallop dish on the menu and they were just slightly seasoned which added a nice flavor but didn't overpower or spice up the potatoes like you might have thought. And I'd need to mention the green beans that were nicely sautéed with garlic, cooked well but not soft and an enjoyable side. Other dishes ordered by my companions included the scallops with the same wasabi mashed potatoes. They were large scallops with a rather spicy base sauce and glaze that gave them a real pep. You'd never know they were sautéed in garlic as well. If the heat is a problem then ask to skip the sauce. Another ordered the special New York strip steak which turned out great by all accounts. This is a nice option for a casual dinner and I'll be back to try more.

    Outstanding view off the back deck .. great for dinner and or drinks ..love this place

    Definitely sitting out on the deck overlooking the lake, is the main reason to come here, but the food is WAY better than expected.

Or for more experience, go to the Wunderlust in Forks, lots of beer, screaming kids, drooling dogs and parents who expect the business patrons to babysit their kids. You'll love it! The Bangor brewery is great place in downtown Bangor to chill at the 16 seat bar after work. Jakib is the server on most shifts and hustles through the entire dining room for timed approach. Unless you've worked as a server, waiting and watching the stream of service is tough to determine in the way a server maneuvers through the restaurant. We dined there a handful of times and each experience was different in a positive way: busy, slow, chaotic, yet we never left there feeling neglected or underwhelmed . . . . because as a former server, I'm aware of the movements from the bar, the rhythm of the kitchen staff, the delays and issues. The fish and chips are stellar, the grande wings & chicken fingers as an app, great soups, burgers, board specials, salads! It's downtown Bangor, folks, tucked back in there, off the main hub and a place to go eat and chill and catch open mike or trivia night.

We were there on a weekend visiting the chocolate shop a few doors down and after we patronized the chocolate shop, we went in and there was barely anybody in there. The waitress seemed very nice, but there wasn't much to the experience.
