Apparently french fries are a premium upgrade, and a two dollar up charge to my buffalo chicken wrap. I was never offered utensils, catchup, or napkins. There was zero interaction, and she never even bothered to take the menus from me I would give this place another try, but I would definitely not sit at the bar if she was the one working. The other waitresses seemed to be doing a great job.

The public entryway to Lakeside Landing is horrible. The heating cooling and ventilation units for The Lakeside Inn are on the entryway side of the building and are thoroughly unattractive. The entryway is also just adjacent to the garbage dumpsters and they smelled badly... The food is good and the view is nice, but the service and entrance are such that I would not want to take friends there.

Again; no one ever checked back and the burger never came. Spending nearly 150.00 on drinks and meals is a lot to pay for crappy, inattentive service and missing a meal. No apology and no acknowledgement at all.

Ordered the seafood risotto which had a lot of different seafood including a crab cake. I would highly recommend. Also tried the almond crusted walleye and enjoyed this as well.

It's Bennigans! We haven't seen a Bennigans in years. This place holds allot of nostalgia for us…read more The Monte Cristo and raspberry sauce were just as good as I remembered. The potato soup wasn't though. It's not really soup season, so understandable. There was a wedding party there, so I can't speak to their normal service. We wouldn't have known it was a wedding without the signs-which means their rooms for private parties are well set up.

In the middle of her ranting (and I am quiet), she decided to refuse service to my husband and me. I did not deserve that level of disrespect.

I think the waitress may have been overworked that day, but still, she needs to apologize to me.

We started with Buffalo wings. Requested extra crispy. All wings and no drums. Did not disappoint. For entrees I went beef and husband went pork. The meat was undercooked for my taste so I would not order this dish again. Husband gave the pork a good review. We both enjoyed the seasonal veggie side. The hasbrown-like potato side I tried was very well done. We hope this becomes a place we can return to year after year when we visit the Clear Lake area.

Local here who visited for the first time for a birthday dinner. This place was okay, not great…read more Catarino was not very attentive, even though the place had 2 other tables when we arrived. We were having to flag them down for requests. The Hawaiian Mac n Cheese was described as both "Mac n Cheese with Carrots" and 'Mac and Cheese with Pineapple" by two different staff... it was macaroni salad. We asked for a pasta spoon and some Ketchup and Catarino sighed loudly and seemed inconvenienced or annoyed by the request. The Sweet Potato Fries had cinnamon and sugar on them, which sweet + sweet = saccharine, so they were not a side dish as much as they should have been a dessert. We gave feedback to Catarino about our meal, but they argued with us instead of just accepting the feedback. We left a 30% tip on a sizable tab despite the meal and service... We won't be back.
