Ravina Bay Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Lake Delton

⭐ 1-Star Review for Ravina Bay

Our visit to Ravina Bay was one of the most disappointing and uncomfortable dining experiences I’ve ever had. We arrived as a large group for a bachelorette celebration and unfortunately had our evening ruined by both the staff and the entertainment.

Yes, one member of our group used inappropriate language early on—but they immediately apologized when another guest with children politely asked us to keep it family friendly. Rather than letting the situation de-escalate, the outdoor singer, John Hamilton, took it upon himself to loudly announce over the microphone, “This is a family-friendly facility, I will kick you out,” effectively humiliating our group and drawing unnecessary attention. That comment opened the floodgates for other tables to jump in, creating a hostile and tense environment that ruined the mood for everyone.

To make matters worse, as the bride—now in tears—was leaving the restaurant, the singer began performing “Cry Me a River” in what felt like a deliberate jab at the situation. Completely unprofessional, unnecessary, and frankly cruel.

On top of that, the service was abysmal. We waited 3.5 hours for our food and had to take everything to go. When we finally ate at home, the crab cakes were still frozen in the middle, the salmon was undercooked, and the peanut butter burger looked like it had been thrown, stomped on, then hastily assembled.

This was supposed to be a fun night celebrating a bride-to-be, and instead it ended in tears and frustration. Between the rude handling of a minor incident, the appallingly long wait time, and the poor quality of the food, I wouldn’t recommend Ravina Bay.

I would like to note that the bartenders (Jake), waitstaff (Shannon), and our server, were...

First of all, let me say it is absolutely worth my thirty dollars and I would definitely go back and recommend to all of my friends one hundred percent. I got a takeout order of the perch and the cod fish for a Friday night fish fry. Each was 15 dollars. There was a couple items that I did not get because they did not serve them anymore off of the menu. Like the corn fritter for one, But that's okay, because the menu items I did get were fantastic. I got a side of chicken wings and they did not come with barbecue sauce or Buffalo sauce. Even though I asked for them with Buffalo sauce, They were still super good without it. And then the fish was absolutely amazing. Flaky, juicy, crispy, and perfectly tender. And there was WAY more than I thought I was going to get, I got 3 pieces. And they weren't just little pieces, they were really big pieces, not just some little frozen pieces out of a box. I couldnt even finish my plate, and i eat alot for my size. And the French fries were fresh, and seasoned really well. Not a frozen fry at all. The taste difference between the cod and the perch was definitely notable, and both were both exquisite. As far as the chicken wings, they were moist and tender, and with some sweet baby rays barbecue sauce of my own (only complaint dang it). They were delicious and I will definitely go back. The pictures I posted are actually the food that I couldn't eat because I was too full. I am definitely saving those for...

Had dinner here with my family to have a pleasant meal on the waterfront based on previous good reviews. Unfortunately the nice view couldn't help drown out the noise of the dozen+ or so children acting like maniacs running and screaming in and out of the restaurant like a bunch of wild animals for at least an hour and a half straight. This was after waiting twenty minutes at the door to be seated and during the next twenty minutes it took to get a drink/food order in and during the next twenty minutes we waited to get a drink and during the next sixty minutes it took to get our food which consisted of three salads and two wraps. Maybe I could have endured the wait with the view if the almost empty restaurant wasn't being overran with the kids from The Shining. We couldn't even hear each other speak at our own table it was so loud. From what I can tell their negligent parents seemed to have no intention to correct or were totally oblivious to their kids' behavior. On top of that the restaurant did nothing to curb their behavior even as the kids were tormenting the local wildlife. The food when finally arriving was what we expected but totally not worth the wait and madness that came with it. If you want a nice family dinner on the waterfront I would avoid this establishment until the restaurant holds parents responsible for their children and figures out how to seat/serve people in a...
