Our server was nice and friendly. Now let's get to the food. We started out with the calamari app which was good. Not too salty and I like my calamari with banana peppers so it was just to my liking. I had the steak and risotto entree- the risotto was absolutely delicious and had great flavor. The steak however needed seasoning. It was kind of bland. And instead of serving it medium as I requested, it came out more of a medium rare. My husband had the fish tacos which were ok. Typical fish taco but the fish could have used a touch more seasoning. For dessert we had the almond cake (delicious) and pistachio cheesecake (also delicious). I would like to go back to try some of the other things on their menu that I hope will be more flavorful than what we had this 1st time around.

Service was friendly and fast and everything was very clean. All the places around are very causal as they know you're most likely coming from a baseball game. We started with the chicken quesadilla and for dinner, I got the prime rib and my wife got a NY Strip. Quesadilla was a great start. Loaded up and prepared perfectly. The prime rib was nice and tender the the au juis paired perfectly. I also got a side of horseradish which pushed the whole meal over the edge in perfection. There was no room for dessert. A short drive from the complex. This needs to be on your radar. I had to send the kid a picture of me eating since this was his 2nd year in a row going because of his age and he knew what he was getting into, food wise.

Both times I have had a good experience. The hotel (really it is a motel) is well maintained - clean and functional. We had piping hot water and our room had a mini fridge. The front desk was friendly and we didn't have any issues. The restaurant was great. They accommodated us for breakfast and dinner and were consistently good.

My new slogan for this hotel is "Stay Away, or Stay Awake!"…read more This overnight stay at the Lake Front Hotel was an absolute nightmare. They recently remodeled the exterior, and the adjacent restaurant is pretty good, but each room looks outdated and poorly designed, where they think hanging a colorful photo of the lake is going to make any difference. You'd think they'd have a modern theme, but it was helplessly outdated. There are no cups, no water, and zero personality or hospitality! Some of the hand towels were so old the edges were frayed. The linens were rough, possibly a two thread-count. There's no iron or ironing board in the room! When we asked for an iron, the nice guy in the office said we had to bring our clothes to the office! Wait, what? He allowed us to use this little dark storage backroom to iron our clothes. It was very strange. The point of having an iron in the room is that if you're not sure what you're wearing the next morning, you can iron something else instead at your leisure. With this scenario we had to take four shirts to the office just to have a back up shirt ironed in case one of us wanted another option to wear. The smell in the bedroom was reminiscent of mold, smelly socks, and dirty carpet. Just so unbearable I had to spray cologne in the air just to cover up the smell. The noise from the upstairs was unbearable. I'm writing this review at 1:30am and people are still walking around, and galloping upstairs, and you can hear every footstep and every floorboard creek. At one point earlier tonight, I had to turn around to see if there was someone in the actual room because it sounded like they were right here. When we called to make the reservation, the woman said we could request a second floor when we got here. But why not honor our request when we're requesting it? Why defer us to the time of arrival, where we were told no as if we'd asked for a suite at the Waldorf. We paid $325 for one night, and it will be the last penny they'll ever see from us. I'm giving this establishment two stars because it's a little better than a motel in the middle of nowhere, in the desert, with Jeffrey Dhalmer in the next room. I mean, seriously. What's the point of having a "Lake Front" hotel, if all your guests want to do is jump in the lake and drown in misery!

Both the soft roll and the fruity bread were so tasty, and the salty butter spread nicely on them. I had the prime rib, which was tender and flavorful, paired with asparagus and a baked potato. He had a NY strip. Both were perfectly cooked. We were so full and satisfied at the end of the meal that we didn't have room for dessert, but we loved the food so much.
