Despite its name, the Lakeside restaurant is not situated on a lake. However, its interior is decorated in a nautical theme. Two of us went on a Thursday afternoon. There were two booths occupied by senior citizens. After we (in our 50s) sat down, a party of twenty-somethings and a child came in. All patrons were greeted and treated with cheerfulness and respect. I ordered the grilled shrimp, which came with a choice of two sides. I chose broccoli and coleslaw. My friend wanted to order the lasagna, but they had just run out. Our server explained that it is made to order (not frozen), so when it’s gone, it’s gone. His second choice was spaghetti and meatballs. This came with a fresh garden salad: iceberg lettuce, with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and shredded cheese, with a house dressing (Italian) on the side. It was a generous serving of pasta, but we were surprised they didn’t offer grated parmesan or Italian bread with it. My entree was delicious. The shrimp (8 of them) were perfectly cooked: moist and buttery. They came with a cocktail sauce, but were so tasty without it. The broccoli was tender and lightly buttered. The coleslaw was creamy, but not soupy. Very nicely done! Service was timely. From the time we ordered, it took just 5 minutes for the salad to come out, and an additional 7 minutes for our entrees to appear. I recommend this place for a casual, affordable meal with friends.

We stumbled across this amazing place after hiking at Selkirk Shores State Park. Employees were super-friendly and quick to greet and welcome us. The vibe was that of an old fashioned country restaurant. There was a nautical theme, a nod to its proximity to Lake Ontario. I had the twisted chicken sandwich, which had just the right level of spiciness. My husband, a New England-raised fish connoisseur, had the haddock sandwich. He proclaimed it one of the best he’s ever had. It contained a huge, perfectly-cooked, piece of haddock. Although we only drank iced tea, the beer selection looked amazing. The only downside was that it was a *bit* pricey. To be fair, it’s in a tourist area. My haddock-loving husband said he would have been happy to pay twice as much for that sandwich! I wish I could award more than 5 stars. 15/10 , will definitely be back!

Nice place to stop for lunch. Very convenient (right on the road, no driving into town) and easy parking. We ordered beers, BBQ sandwich, and hot turkey sandwich. The turkey was a little bit dry on the edges, but otherwise was tasty; as was the gravy and mashed. I wish I had asked about the side, because I expected French fries with gravy, as in my experience most places in Upstate NY serve with an open-face hot turkey. My friend said the BBQ was good and the tater tots were excellent. The desserts looked delicious in the display case, but we didn't order any. They were short-staffed at the time (I overheard a staff msay), but our service was excellent, so they covered well! A solid 4, and I would have given it a 5, if not for the dry-edged turkey.

My husband and I went to the Lakeside for a late night dinner. Although we came in at closing time on Sunday night, we never felt rushed with our order. Quite opposite, we were encouraged to enjoy our time and our meal together by the amazing stuff who were chatting with us all the time. Dinner was delicious, everything was freshly made and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent, very accommodating and caring. Relaxing music was just a cherry on top. Very friendly and homey ambiance. We will definitely be back whenever in town. I highly recommend the Lakeside! Update: We went back there for brunch next day and it was equally delicious!
