All shareable, and the presentation is top-notch. We had the Spicy Crab Tostada, Spicy Chicken Wontons, and the Mexican Street Corn "ribs." Each dish was prepared to perfection. The Spicy Crab Tostada, like the wontons, had a light and crispy texture. The Spicy Chicken Wontons were equally delightful. And the Mexican Street Corn "ribs" were a unique treat. They were prepared by quartering the corn cob lengthwise, tossing it in a special sauce, and serving it. The "ribs" effect was that you held the quartered cob pieces and ate the kernels as if you were holding the bones of ribs. Be prepared for a few wet naps after finishing these delicious bites! There are many more enticing dishes to try, and I can't wait for our next visit. As a tribute to the late, great Charlie Daniels (who always ended the musical season at the

On this cool spring visit, we sat inside at a corner table with a nice view of the lake. We ordered: Happy Hour Chicken Tacos ($8) Happy Hour Fish Tacos ($8) Fish & Chips Dinner ($21) Merlot ($9) Cabernet ($11) The tacos are normally $16 for three on the dinner menu, so getting four for that price during Happy Hour is a good deal. Results were mixed. Starting with the positive: the Fish Tacos were excellent. The haddock was perfectly cooked--crispy and flavorful--served in grilled flour tortillas with shredded iceberg lettuce, creamy slaw, pico de gallo, and chipotle lime aioli. Really well done! The Chicken Tacos, on the other hand, were disappointing. The chipotle-braised chicken, along with the toppings, made them feel dense and soggy. Not something I would order again. The Fish & Chips was the biggest letdown. The fried haddock was thin and dry, and the fries were limp and not hot enough. The coleslaw was very good, though. Honestly, if they used the same haddock from the fish tacos here, it would be a big upgrade. Service was good overall, though the dinners took a while to arrive. Bottom line: 3 stars. Still the best restaurant option on the lake, but there's plenty of room for improvement.

The trail mix cookies were amazing and loaded with pumpkin seeds, and the shortbread was just like homemade--thin, crisp, and buttery. However, I was disappointed in the croissant. I have high expectations for croissants, and while this one was buttery, it was not as flaky as I like. The coffee service was also frustrating. Someone in our group had gotten an iced coffee there just the day before, but when I went to order one, I was told they didn't have iced coffee. There was no explanation given at all. If the staff had simply mentioned that they ran out, or that it is only served before a certain time, I would have completely understood. It was disappointing because I expected better communication from a well-known establishment like this.The high quality of the cookies and shortbread saved the visit, but the lack of basic customer service on the drinks and the okay croissant drops it down to three stars.

My wife and I have driven by 308 Lakeside several times when visiting East Brookfield and have…read moretalked about stopping but for whatever reason did not. Today was "date night" so when look for a new place to checkout 308 Lakeside made the list, after reading a recent article on social media about new owners, we decided to stop for a late Sunday lunch. Once we found a place to park (parking is a challenge as they are victim of their own success so be prepared) We were greeted pleasantly by the hostess and promptly seated. They had a duet performing live music of pop covers. We were seated along the window overlooking Lake Lashaway. Nice view! Our server, Payton was very helpful and patient as this was our first time. Jessica the manager stopped by the table to check on us and introduce herself, after a nice conversation about this being our first time and the article highlighting the new owner, Payton returned with our beverages (raspberry tea, root beer and water). We ordered as a starter potato skins. In due course they were brought. These potato skins had a lot of potato still in the skins- making them the perfect carrier for the generous amount of cheese and bacon. Served with sour cream. Delicious! By this time we were ready to order. I ordered the French dip with fries. This is one of my favorite sandwiches and is a rarity these days. My wife ordered the stuffed portobello mushroom and house side salad. I also the limited menu item pretzel sticks, and a bowl of their chili to share with my wife. Payton was good to check on us and keep us hydrated. After a bit of time since we ordered (nearly an hour) Jessica came over and apologized for the delay and said the food would be out shortly, and comped us a dessert. The reason was totally out of their control and has no bearing on this review. One of the kitchen staff had an immediate family member pass away, leaving the kitchen short handed. It was gracious of Jessica to comp a dessert, we weren't in any hurry it being date night. The food was delivered as promised and exceeded expectations. I have to say the French dip was a solid #3 on my top ten list of French dips I have enjoyed in my lifetime. (#1 Rio Rico Resort in 1978 AZ, #2 The Colonial Restaurant in 1974 CT) My wife's portobello mushroom was one of the best she has had (being allergic to seafood and knowing her tastes I trust her review). The chili was good and we ended up bringing home. We would make the drive just for the chili. Pretzel sticks were server hot and were very light. The mustard base dipping sauce was some of the best we have enjoyed and perfectly suited for the pretzel sticks. For dessert we shared a piece of blueberry carrot cake with whipped cream. It was a delicious ending to our meal and first visit. The only detractors was the parking which I am not sure they can do much about (only a single handicapped space), we ended having to park up the road; and a tidying up- the men's room while the fixtures were clean, the floor has layers of soil from being mopped with dirty water (easy to rectify with occasional professional cleaning) and a partial beer bottle was left on top of the towel dispenser. In the room we were seated in, the acoustic ceiling panels just need a good dusting. Like a said those are but minor observations. The food was some of the best around and the service equally a standout. Highly recommend 308 Lakeside. We will definitely be back.

It's about 10 minutes away, and we had reserved a table for 12:30 p.m. in case they were busy. The lake views caught our attention as soon as we walked in. Large, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows face the water, and there's also a good-sized outdoor deck. It was a quiet afternoon and the friendly hostess let us choose a table, so we picked one by the window. The shaded deck seemed like it might be a little too cool on this fall day. We looked over the summer specials, daily specials, and half-priced appetizer menus before ordering a grilled Reuben with regular fries, a French dip with sweet potato fries, iced tea, and water with lemon. The regular fries were excellent: hot and crispy. The sweet potato fries were tasty but a little limp. The Reuben was served hot, with tender pastrami. It wasn't an outstanding Reuben, but it was good. The French dip was disappointing. The meat was tough, perhaps because it was sliced too thick, and the au jus was bland. Service was slow and inconsistent. Our waitress checked on us a couple of times but then disappeared. We eventually flagged her down for the check, but when it took a long time for her to return to process it. So we found the hostess who processed it quickly and cheerfully. Overall, it was a three-star lunch. The lake view was the highlight; the food and service were mixed.

Although there were more than 6 dogs staying at the place (one barked non stop and another pooped in the hall), Julie decided it was my trained service dog with no proof. Most likely because I was the only non white person with a service dog. She went as far as telling me that my dog is a comfort dog and not a service animal. She refused to see the documents I offered as back up. She also crossed the line when she approached the event organizer of the event I was there for to ban me from future events. Extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. I wish this annual event would move elsewhere that is not as decade, decrepit, and had professional hospitality people.
