Perhaps we just ordered the right things? We got their Grilled Salmon (which was phenomenal) and their daily special, which was a Beef Stroganoff (which was good). I'd definitely come back here again just to enjoy the salmon! We also had a dessert (Mountain Berry Pie a la Mode). It was good, but I probably wouldn't pay money for it again. But would satisfy a sweet tooth craving if you have it. Pro tip: request a window seat table if you can!

I really don't understand all the really super low reviews for this restaurant because it really is fine. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than, you might get in town, but they had to haul all the food up all this way. And haul all these workers up all this way, so it's actually a pretty good deal for what you're getting. The beer is cheaper than what I paid in Bakersfield. There are entrees as low as 9.99. I quite enjoyed the chicken pot pie. We did think the chicken marsala was a little bit dry and probably won't order that again. But so far, it's actually a really promising experience. The service is good, it's comfortable. I think it fully deserves four stars.

The service is GREAT, everyone is kind, helpful, and hustling. They work really hard, from the folks tossing the pizza to the people cleaning tables. The food came out quickly and it was hot and DELICIOUS. My friend got a mini Hawaiian, and I got a mini Factory Special (think Supreme-style pizza). We also got the 10 piece wings--delightfully spicy! They have different flavor options though. They have a wide array of beverage options, fun movies or sports events on their TV, and a bunch of fun arcade games and coin-operated toy machines. Ample parking is available in front, plenty of seating inside and outside. We're happy we could stop there, so check it out for yourself!

We ordered a cheese pizza, salad bar access, and a Greek salad. The pizza was the highlight: the cheese was baked to perfection--golden brown, a little crispy at the edges but not dry--really delicious. The salad bar was adequate with a choice of iceberg or spinach and a selection of toppings. My main issue was the Greek salad: it was advertised with romaine but arrived with iceberg. When I politely pointed this out to a server, I was told they never have romaine. There was no offer to replace the salad, refund, or even a real apology. That lack of effort to correct a mistake was disappointing. Overall, great pizza and a just what you expect from a pizza place, but customer service could use improvement when things go wrong. I'd still come back for the pizza, but hope staff handle mistakes more proactively next time.

However, eating out is an expensive investment, and this place just isn't cutting it. Service was an issue, the place was being run by young people doing more visiting with each other than helping anyone and they took forever to accomplish anything they were asked to do, or had to be reminded that they were asked to do it. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was a mistake. We should have followed the lead of the locals, who all seemed to be ordering pizza. Our pasta was overcooked and the sauce seemed like a mix of canned tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes, devoid of any spice at all, not even salt. The meatballs were bland, as well. At best, this was cafeteria or hospital style spaghetti, certainly NOT Italian.

You place your order at the counter and self seat which is fine but there was no direction to do such upon entering - I had to ask. I am rating as 3 stars because 1) The staff offered bare minimum in service - did not greet you upon entering, did not offer suggestions when trying to decipher the menu posted on the wall - and honestly did not seem very friendly. 2) it was not shared the establishment was out of basil for a margarita pizza until dressing the final ingredients after baking and the other pizza was served to our table. (Hence I would have changed my order initially vs. now I'm not going to make my family wait). And 3) the cleanliness of the floor and bathroom. The pizza was good - plenty of toppings on a crispy, fluffy crust. So maybe they would get 5 stars if it was takeout....

Corsaro's is that place, locally owned and operated, and always there to provide a quality meal; if your craving pasta, a sub sandwich, a burger, or one of their delicious pizzas this place is must!

But there was something we had not considered, we were going to be going to a place that required us to be fresh and ready to receive the wonder of place by a lack and we only had the energy for an angry stop at a gas station. So this place I visited when I was tired and that kind of gunked up the experience. If I would have gone with more energy to fully open my eyes than this experience would have been wondrous. When I booked the reservation I did it because it was a place by a lake. I enjoy water front dining and I usually use an ocean for scenery and today I was in a place where I could use a large creek. And since I was not going with any specific expectations that lake hit me like a bucket of wow. I remember like seeing the mouth of the lake going down like actual rocks. Like I was seeing the waters that people raft on with commitment to the outdoors. It felt like I had traveled into a place where trees were purest, bird melodies were the only noise in town (besides the water running in the creek), and cabins belonged to those who called the mountains home. I was in a novel and for some reason I felt like it was written by Twain. And that is really what I can say about this place. That is mostly what I remember the beauty of the creek. I wanted to spend more time there, I could have walked it, they had like a lounge but I did not. But I do remember the forested view that went on, and the roaring, jagged leg being a central character other than that I have small things to say. I remember the salad being ok. Denise and I shared a dish, I can't remember why but we did not eat the whole thing. It was inherently bad. But this could have been an off night, or just not the dish of the place, and really you go here for the lake, and the food was great in some ways just not in this specific way. I went to this place a few weeks ago, and, if I had not make it clear I remember the experience of being with the lake. So go here for that experience and let the rest just fall into place.
