    Lake Nina is a hidden gem. Been around for over 60 years. Known for thier Fish Log and Fried Chicken. We ordered Pretzels and Cheese. Very good. Fried Pickles which I believe are the best I have ever had. Chicken Livers with gravy. They are just really really good and Frog legs with 2 orders of hot slaw. That was just the appetizers for us 7. Very good stuff. We were pretty full by the time we ordered. We ordered for our dinner the famous Fish Log with onion rings and green beans. The fish was great. Can't go wrong there. The onion rings were very very good. Green beans the same. Service was awesome. They were really busy and our waitress was really moving. Beautiful scenery looking out over the lake at beautiful fall colors. Absolutely a solid 4 on everything. I would think whatever you order you can't go wrong.

    Our group from the Y ate at Lake Nina today. As always, the food was awesome. My fried chicken tasted very good. Our large parties always puts a strain on the wait staff, but she tried real hard.

    Fish log, onion rings and fried potatoes.

    Great fish dinners to be had here! I ordered the highly acclaimed fish log and the fried potatoes. Both were fantastic and didn't disappoint. They will actually make the fish well done which most fish places won't but I like mine Great Britain style, crunchy and with lots of flavor, this one for the bill for sure. Fried potatoes with onions were good too, showstopper though was the onion rings. Truly GB style! Crunchy, flavorful, made with fish batter and not breaded like the ones you get do often these days. The meal was BIG so maybe if you're going for lunch grab the half log or pan to take some home. Great place for truly one of a kind fish for the landlocked Ohio!

    For starters Very friendly staff and service. They have the "good" ranch, that is a plus for me. I ordered that famous fish log. It was really lacking flavor, the breading or fish either or could really use some seasoning. Just tasted like cod dipped and fried in flour. My company got the chicken livers which im not a fan of in general. Mashed potatoes were ok the gravy was decent. Portion size for price is fair. They dont nickel and dime ya. I understand it's a hole in the wall but food was tasteless JBH. Yelp is for food reviews. But would like to reiterate that staff and our server was excellent !!

    We eat here a couple times a year especially during lent because of the fish. I may have left an old review but they updated their menu and they condensed it down and looks like they added new items and removed others. We probably will come back to try their sandwiches and way's for lunch one day. The Idaho nachos were new and we tried them. The waffle fries made it. We got the half fish log as the whole is huge. For that size of a slab of fish, it always is cooked well and never had an issue. The hot slaw is what they are know for and is one of my favorites from the ones I've tried from other restaurants. The service was good and the place has been around a long time and has been updated but it has the tavern feeling. We will always go back but I will be trying the other items on their menu and will report back.

I like the decor from the coffee bean bags being used as blinds and the added touch of fresh flowers! The only thing I'm not to fond of is their cotton decor that they have if a few areas in the cafe'. My boyfriend and I were greeted right away and were told to sit wherever we like. The server was really kind she gave us some food recommendations on sides in which I tried their hash brown casserole. Not quite what I expected as it was a hashbrown mixed with cheese but it was pretty good. She allowed us to taste one of the beers before we committed on one. I haven't been to many cafés that have beer on tap but they have two kinds and I think that's pretty cool! I got a gingerbread latte which was tasty, not much of a gingerbread flavor. For food I ordered French toast with turkey bacon and it was perfection ! My boyfriend ordered a shrimp and grits and decided to get one to go because he had ordered it before and it's his favorite! We had informed the server about our to go Oder while ordering but when we received our check we didn't see it on there and ended up waiting a bit until it came out. They always have great food and great service. If you haven't been go try it!

The menu had a something to please everyone while still being unique and not overwhelming. We ordered the Avocado BLT (loaded with bacon, topped with perfectly fresh avocado), Cobb Salad (verdict: delicious!) and crème brûlée French Toast (very good!). Three Arnold Palmers and we were satisfied. The building is an old historic building with indoor seating and a patio out back. Nicely decorated. Our server was terrific, friendly and helpful and kept tabs on our needs. Parking in lots a next to and behind the restaurant.

I am so happy with my experience - delicious, sweet, and in a space that felt so homey! Also, I'd like to point out how beautiful it is that so many folks from different walks of life were finding comfort in this same space. There was a group of construction workers on their lunch break together, a table of two having a deep discussion about something important, a woman on her laptop, a couple folks wanting a good chat at the bar, and that's just those of us who were downstairs. It's so special when a space can be safe to such a diverse set of customers. Before my lunch had even been delivered to the table I was texting specific people going "you have got to check this place out, you'd love the vibe!!" Speaking of lunch, here's what I ordered: TBS | turkey sausage, scrambled egg, cheddar & pepper jack cheese served on a croissant bun I had zero expectations for this sandwich as I didn't even comprehend how much variety would be in their meal choices. It was delicious. I did not expect it to be so massive. Holy crap. Very worth the price! Peach Cobbler Chai | listen, y'all. When most places say a drink is flavored or tastes like a pre-existing thing, it usually only hints at that original flavor. THIS TASTED LIKE A DANG PEACH COBBLER HAD BEEN MELTED AND POURED STRAIGHT INTO MY CUP. I'm blessed to have tried this. It was one of my favorite drinks I've had all year. Caramel Apple Snickerdoodle Cookie | ALL of their cookies are as big as my face, so I had to try one. I love caramel meaning this was the obvious choice. It was soooooo sweet and gooey! I thoroughly enjoyed it, though I'd probably get a different flavor next time! Iced Chai w/ Extra Cinnamon | as I was leaving, I wanted an extra drink. I asked the barista what her go to is and she hooked me up with this beauty! I have gotten chai so many times in my life. I've quite literally have had hundreds of chais. I love chai. I even was a barista for about a year and a half. Never have I ever thought to ask for extra cinnamon and now I feel like I've been doing chai wrong to all the chais of my past that I've deemed "weak" and "not flavorful enough", I'm sorry. That's on me. I should've added more cinnamon JT got the best side bagel (which he devoured, though he also underestimated its size!) and some specialty latte that was hand written on the menu to the right of the checkout. I tried a sip, it was a little less flavorful than I had expected but super smooth!
