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.

I did an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting -- everything was SO delicious. We ended up purchasing Tuscan Herb + Garlic olive oils, and Pomegranate, Raspberry, + Traditional balsamic vinegars. 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!

We ordered lunch here and got the pulled pork sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, broccoli salad and a homemade pretzel. The food was great! They also serve chicken salad croissants and deli-meat sandwiches, as well as salads. The line was a bit long to wait and pay. 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. We waited in line for a little while, luckily our food did say somewhat warm. They have a bbq bar where you can get your condiments and coffee as well (samples of coffee available).

We have ordered this salad at other restaurants that were much better and priced way less. The handheld sandwiches are also outrageously priced. How can a hamburger and fries cost $20.

The meals for one person now is like 75 bucks. Ill be telling my entire family not to give patronage to this place after that last bill. Service was just ok; and for those prices a reasonable expectation would be getting flawless service, quality control, and upscaled food in return. They deliver on none of those.

Shared homemade potato chips (yum!) and stuffed mushrooms with friends. Great starters! Salmon on my salad was delicious. Hubby's chicken carbonara was tasty, but sauce was rather thick and heavy. 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!
