SpiritView Lakeside — Restaurant in Town of Three Lakes

August 2019 Our party of 10 had to wait about 20 minutes for a table on a Friday night. Had a few drinks. The bartenders were attentive and the drinks were awesome (Old Fashions are always better in Northern Wisconsin). We had all you can eat fish and chicken. Everything was great. They have a great local following with us tourists sprinkled in. I hope they can find new owners to keep the place going.

August 2018 We usually stop in to Bonnie's Lakeside when visiting the area (yearly since 2010). We didn't get a chance to stop for a meal this year. To be honest the recent negative reviews (especially the one about kids not being welcomes, which our experience was never the case) directed us elsewhere to dine. We thought maybe Bonnie retired and sold her business. My wife and I decided to stop in to get the scoop. To our relief, Bonnie was still there and served us our Old Fashioned Whiskey Sours. They did not disappoint. They were busy but were attentive to us as the two bartenders worked the center island bar We did not eat but the dining room was full with groups enjoying a family style fish fry. We will be eating there next time we venture to...

Our family of 11 stopped here for a fish fry on Friday night last summer. Very busy and the hostess seemed overwhelmed and maybe a little “short”. She said there will be a wait for our big group. We were lucky enough to get seating at the bar which was perfect for our wait. The bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed as well. The drinks were great and after talking with him, it seemed he mellowed out because we were in no hurry. We were respectful knowing he was super busy. He turned out to be a excellent bartender. When we got a table to eat on the deck, we were respectful to her as well, since she was totally overwhelmed with grumpy customers. We all had an excellent fish fry and pan fried walleye. The hostess was so appreciative to us and are now sad this place got new owners. We will try it out in July for our next family vacation. Just a note for customers. Respect people at restaurants when they are so busy, especially when they are...

What a change from when Bonnie ran the restaurant. We have eaten there for the past 24 years on most Friday nights from May to October, even when having to wait for up to an hour. We have always felt it was worth it. We stopped in for the Friday night fish and chicken meal the first night up to Three Lakes to open the cabin in late April and were extremely disappointed. The chicken was not bad, but the fish was just blah, unlike the way it always had been. The portions were limited compared to the past, and not the usual potato salad and coleslaw starters, then the choice of potato, fish, and chicken with a roll. There is now no potato salad, just a medicine cup of coleslaw, and a half slice of what looks like store bought bread (how cheap is that?). What a let down. We have checked that off our list as have our extended family. How disappointing after all...
