I had the fried tenderloin sandwich - larger than the bun as is necessary per Hoosier custom. It came with all the fixins for you to dress as you please. The house salad is fresh and the house dressing (a sweet Italian) takes it to the next level. I snuck a few fries from others at my table and they were fantastic too - hot and crispy. Service was quick and helpful! If I had one complaint it's that I don't know what's in most of the cocktails on the list. Hoping to see ingredients added to a future version of the cocktail menu so I can try more options during future visits this summer!

The Lakeside is a casual yet upscale restaurant that clearly caters to the local lake people. Beautiful restaurant and decor. Servers were friendly, not out of your way friendly (but again it was busy). Our table ordered drinks which took awhile to receive. Ordered appetizers, salads and entrees at the same time seeing that they were slow. The shareable salad never made it to the table, this was unfortunate, we were hungry and looking forward to it, but asked them to take it off our order since the entrees were delivered instead. Our meals were very good.

The menu is an offering of everything you look forward to trying on your next visit. We had gnocchi with shrimp, the gnocchi was light and melt in your mouth delicious, the shrimp were juicy, grilled lightly, and seasoned well. The menu mentioned vodka sauce, the sauce that shared the plate was by itself complex, rich and at the same time very light. We also chose the BiBamBop which had all the flavors of Korea, crunchy with veggies, beef sliced thin, rice, the flavors kept coming. We were well attended to by our waitress who made great recommendations, thank you very much. The ambiance was full of people enjoying their meals. We look forward to another wonderful meal at The Lakeside.

But it was incredibly difficult to choose our favorites. The dark chocolate balsamic vinegar is next on my list! We also purchased several varieties of their loose leaf tea. We're excited to add some of their seasoning mixes to our repertoire as well! They offer an incentive for bringing back their bottles, love to see that to encourage waste reduction! I can't say enough about how lovely The Olive Twist is, definitely check it out in Fort Wayne or Auburn, IN!

Once you order, you are given your food and then you go to the register line, this is where you'll pay. On a Saturday afternoon it was very long and their credit card processing was slow.

As has been mentioned, it was a bit distracting that all food is served in aluminum foil pans with plastic silverware. Don't quite understand this, except to say it likely saves on dish-washing!

I'm from northern Indiana and when I saw lake perch on the menu, I was pretty excited. I ordered the basket, husband ordered a Rueben. The basket was hugely disappointing. The fries were good but that poor perch was over battered. Lake perch has a unique taste and is a delicate fish. After I removed 3/4 of the batter, I could somewhat taste the perch. There's not a lot of places to eat in Syracuse so we ended up back there with friends the next week. This time I saw a lake perch dinner, with the perch sautéed, on the menu. Pretty pricey for lake perch ($22) but i really wanted some good lake perch, and it was delicious. Almost twice the price I've paid at The Chubby Trout in Elkhart, IN but it was as good. Both times I had the side salad, which is pretty pitiful. A very very small, limp lettuce salad, Syracuse is a "rich" town in the summer with all the summer people who have their huge homes. So The Channel Marker can and does inflate their prices and people pay. Next summer I'm sure I'll go back, order the sautéed lake perch and complain about the price again.
