When there for Sunday brunch. The location was great. The service was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. The food was pretty good. We ordered an omelette, waffle and hamburger. All were pretty good especially the burger it was great. We also ordered a monte cristo. That was a really good sandwich. I would surly recommend it.

Food was great and the servers were quick to move us inside when it started pouring on the porch. We loved the atmosphere being so close to the water!! Hands down best home fries we've ever had!

The Lakeside Inn has been around since the 1800's , and was told about the restaurant using the same recipe for their chicken pot pie from the 1800's. Unfortunately, when I arrived, it was Sunday Brunch, and chicken pot pie wasn't on their menu. This didn't stop us from dining in, and there's plenty of seating outside on the Veranda, the bar area frlor Tremains Taproom, and the main dining room of The Beauclaire. They all share the same menu of thr day, and I ordered The Southern Charm Burger, and my wife ordered the Crab Cake Sandwich. Her crabcake Sandwich came with their housemade remoulade sauce that catapulted the sandwich and its flavor! My burger was very savory with the pimento cheese, bacon, fried green tomatoes, along with the lettuce and tomato. Their fries were fried perfectly with a crisp outside, yet warm and chewy inside. Our server Lloyd was awesome too! He was very prompt, and went out of his way to bring paper and crayons for my 4 year old to color.I would absolutely return to try that chicken pot pie, as many locals raved about it, plus the atmosphere was beautiful!

I do agree that it is a little hard to figure out how to be seated. You can go into the bar and find someone though. There is the bar seating, an inside dining room and the porch. After tracking someone down we got seated outside and had a lovely view of the lake and scenery. It was fun to sit and eat at this historic hotel. Our server was very friendly and single handed Lu managing the porch, which ended up getting pretty busy. We ordered the Cheese Plate to start. It was a generous portion of cheese, berries and prosciutto. It also came with two jams but weirdly no crackers or bread to eat with it. For dinner we ordered the Chicken Roulade and Chicken Pot Pie. Both were very large portions. The pot pie frankly could have been shared. But was super hot and tasty. Definitely a classic pot pie with lots of flavor. The Roulade was a chicken breast stuffed with tomatoes, onions cheese and spinach. Served with a caper cream sauce. It was a good meal over all and good service. We would return to try other things on the menu and breakfast in the future.

We were in town for a wedding and this little area is so cute that we wanted to come back and explore the next day. It was early morning so we wanted to get breakfast first. This place definitely has that historic feel. There's even a house across that's said to be haunted. It's really big inside. We were greeted immediately and taken to a table. My first thought was, the floor is dirty. There were crumbs everywhere. We were the only ones in the dining area. The table clothes are very wrinkled. First impressions are everything and I would have expected a place like this to be more presentable. Looking over the menu there weren't many options to choose from. I ordered scrambled eggs with potatoes and sausage. In my opinion the food is over priced. It was $17 for my plate. The food was "okay" but for the price I'd expect better quality and flavor. Nothing was seasoned, the potatoes tasted like they were reheated and the biscuit was hard as a rock. My mom ordered pancakes and that was $14! And did not come with anything else. Our waitress was nice. If we visit here again, I personally would not come back here to eat.

I'm not sure why this place is so lowly rated, it's possible because there are SO many good spots in the area that it's a hard contest. This restaurant feels like you're going back in time, as the hotel around you dates back to the 1800s. It's a classic spot, good for brunch, and if you can snag a seat on the veranda that's the best spot in the house. Inside is a bit quieter, the bar seating has a dark, man-cave feel, meanwhile the main dining room is a bit more eloquent. I wish they would have a suggested attire, if I'm being honest. It's such a shame to see people in sweatpants in such a lovely historic spot. The food was good, not anything to rant and rave over, but solid and good. The service was a bit frazzled (it was an event weekend) and they couldn't edit the menu at all. Which was a tad weird, but I get it. Although the food is more of a good/OK in my book, the prices are great so I am not going to complain at all. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Located in the picturesque Lakeside Inn, the beauclaire offers beautiful views of the lake and d beautiful scenery- especially while dining on the veranda.My fiancé and I were seated promptly, given menus and waters right away. I had a glass of Riesling and he enjoyed a woodchuck cider. For an appetizer we split the cesar salad. The portion was a great size and the salad was nicely dressed. I had the salmon for my entree. The fish itself was cooked well with decent flavor. However, the risotto lacked flavor and the asparagus were undercooked with little seasoning.My fiancé had the brisket and it was delicious! I had a serious case of food envy. The meat was fantastic, the hash brown casserole it came with was great and the brussel sprouts with bacon were excellent. Our server was awesome and made sure to check in on us often and got us anything we needed. I would give this place a 5 for service and a 3 for food, evening out to a solid 4 stars.

I have a confession to make. We only went there because our preference was closed.This was lucky for us! This place is hiding in plain site and couldn't make us happier. The four of us had a wonderful experience with service that was top notch, and the food was also exceptional !Make a trip over. You will be glad you did!

Terrible food, terrible service! Staff is rude, food is well below average. No ambiance, it would be so easy to have background music playing, but theyCan't even pull that off. Cannot think of one positive thing to say.

We ate breakfast because we were staying at the Lakeside Inn and had $20 dining cash. It's a fine dining atmosphere in oart if their banquet room. The windows and view were pleasant. Not crazy that I felt like I was at a wedding. Staff was very attentive. The food was very good. Grits were homemade and extremely good! Bacon was thick and good. The pancakes were ok. A little dry and not as fluffy as I like. But overall a pleasant experience in the morning. We would have eaten on the patio at The Verandah but it was too cold outside.
