Lakeside Ballroom

Spent a fun dinner in a very welcoming atmosphere on Lake Minnewaska, with a view of all the ice houses still in operation. Service outstanding! Brand new menu with new choices . . Pasta dishes, bowls, sandwiches and burgers. Went back for lunch next day!

Four of us, Mark, Barbara,Loren, and myself in here for dinner this evening. Was all wonderful, with variety of foods. Dined outside just above the water of lake. Was really nice though I am not an outside eating fan. I had the Lakeside Jambalaya, 2 had salmon and Loren the pork steak. Was a wedding party taking place, so took 30-45 minutes for our foods to arrive. Was absolutely worth the wait.

What a fun local place to grab drinks and a great meal. They have a bit of everything on their menu and the bartender was very friendly and always smiling. I ordered the chicken stir fry and it came out hot and tasted great. The noise level was just right and varying seemed to be very clean. I will stop back with my family!

Amazing place for a sunset. Glenwood is a hidden gem in Minnesota and Lakeside is one of the reasons why. Nestled on Lake Minnewaska, there's ample seating over looking the lake, inside and out. But if the weather is right definitely head outside. I didn't sample any food but there's a full bar with a curated beer selection and wine by the glass. Sit down and relax here. You're worth it.

Just passing through on my way up north and stopped here. Unfortunately all of the seating outside on the back deck was full when I was there, but it's a really nice spot overlooking the lake. If you can, sit outside!We had the walleye fingers to start. They fried the fish just right and I was a big fan of their tartar sauce as well. I live on the coast of Texas, so I get a big dose of seafood, but I've always been a big fan of walleye.I had the house special that night which was a thick, bone in pork chop topped with thinly sliced pineapple with a side of au grautin potatoes and veggies. Very good! I'm glad I went with the waitresses recommendation. Service was pretty fast in here as well. Good experience.

OVERALL: Probably the only decent restaurant you'll find up here. Decent being key word.SERVICE: Very hectic and slow. We came in right away and there was no host, no one to indicate where to sit. Eventually we sat ourselves at a booth inside because all the outdoor seating was taken and it didn't seem like they had a waitlist system at all. Took about 15 minutes to get menus, the server stopped by to take drink orders and it took another 10-15 to get drinks. She would drop things off infrequently so we couldn't catch her to do a food order. She stopped by 3 times without letting us order food. We finally ordered food after about 45 min after being there. It took us another half hour to get the food. In total we spent 2+ hours there. FOOD: Big portions, nachos were flavorful. Could've used more cheese. Shrimp was battered in like a fish batter rather than something flaky- which actually made it taste better!PRICE: Pretty average. Pro tip: beers are $6 a glass or $13 for a pitcher. Just get a pitcher! Rail drinks are $3.5. Nachos were $15 (with meat)ATMOSPHERE: the view is the saving grace of this restaurant. The outdoor patio space is beautiful and the view of the lake is stunning. We were there for sunset and it was gorgeous.

First experience here was pleasant and the food/ service was great. Went back recently with my mom and as we were walking in a member of the wait staff asked a couple in front of us if they were looking to be seated, to which they replied "no, we're making our way to the reception" (being held in the ballroom at that time) my mom spoke up and said that we were waiting to be seated and she blew us off like she could care less. SUPER RUDE. Didn't ask if we were looking to dine or just drinks. Only replied to tell us that if we sat outside past a certain point we would have to order at the bar ourselves. Whatever. We sat outside where mid conversation a highly over served drunk man (mind you it was 7pm) stumbled over to our table and just decided to sit in a spare chair and bother us until his friend hauled him away. I couldn't even imagine what it's like at ACTUAL heavy drinking hours. Unforgettable experience

We stopped in for lunch & had the pan fried walleyes. We'd never had walleye before. It was delicious & cooked perfectly! Great service at the bar. Nice location right on the water.

After a horrible experience at Captains Bar and Grill with my service dog we came over here. They were fabulous understood ADA and the food was great. Highly recommend.

Amateur Hour. Fathers Day brunch was a complete waste. Many people looked at dissatisfied as our party did. Will not ever return here again. Each time we go we are so disappointed. The lake view just is not worth the sad food that comes out of the kitchen. Save your money. Also, we saw the male cook wiping his hands on his nose and pulling on his earlobe spacers while cooking. Happy Fathers day!
