Prompted by an ad in the Syracuse Eagle Newspaper for a Valentine's Day special prix fixe dinner, we traveled to the Lakeside Vista Restaurant on Otisco Lake. Our meals began with a generous glass of prosecco and a large romaine salad with red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and croutons. The main course included a grilled skewer of three shrimp and two scallops, a porterhouse steak, a twice baked potato, and asparagus. The shrimp and scallops we're based with a seasoned butter sauce during grilling resulting in a delicious flavor, and the steak was cooked perfectly to order. The twice baked potato included bacon and cheese, and the skin was crispy enough to pick up and eat after finishing its contents. For dessert my wife chose the carrot cake and I had blueberry pie. Both were excellent. A delicious feast for a very reasonable price. Service was excellent and views of the lake unbeatable. We'll be back soon to try their Sunday buffet brunch, and next summer to dine al fresco on their outdoor patios facing the lake.

We have tried this restaurant every so often because the view is fantastic and it’s fun to drive your boat up to their docks and walk over. Normally we weren’t been overly impressed BUT this time we had fantastic meals! I had a roast turkey club with salt potatoes; the turkey was freshly carved and delicious. My husband had the fish and it was also good. Their drinks were good as well (a strawberry mojito for $6.50!). We’ll definitely be back.

Waited 1 1/2 hours for food. Definitely not worth the wait. I do not recommend this

Lakeside has come a long way in a short time. The new owner hired a new chef. This was needed. The food is pretty good, basic menu items. The view from the front and back porches is beautiful, over looking otisco lake. I recommend eating outside!

Sunday brunch was well presented. Great eggs with cheese, mushrooms and peppers. Or just plain! Nice fruit and yogurt station. Great views.

We went when they first opened and had a large party. Suggest when making reservations state inside or out.

Fantastic set up for a Sunday brunch, not sure why this place wasn't busy! Had a nice spot on the deck with a great view of the lake. All the food on the buffet was fantastic, if it was busier I'm sure an omelette station could make this one of the better brunch places I've ever been to

Menu : fresh haddock Dinner 18.00 . our table of 4 received 2 oily burnt pieces that were still frozen on inside, same with sweet potato fries. 1 veggie burger with freezer burn, side of onion rings ( they were out of regular fries) cooked in same burnt oil as fish. Capresi chicken sandwich, chicken breast cold, 3 cherry tomatoes cut in half 1 small piece of mozzarella cheese partially melted, no spices on a stale roll. This was second visit....there will not be a third, 151$ which included 2 beers and 2 cans of white claw. No wonder place was empty by 6:30 last night. Could and should be gold mine...who ever is in charge of ordering foodShould be made to eat what we were served last night

The food was below par for the price. There are significantly better restaurants in the area.

Drink menu and prices were good. Staff was great but they were not busy at all, I think we were one of 3 tables. The view is the best part. The chicken Parmesan is a frozen, processed chicken patty with flavorless sauce and cheese dumped on top. A meal that cost $2 to make on the menu for $18. The jalapeño cheese egg rolls were ok. My husbands strip steak was still raw in the center after requesting medium rare.

I was finally able to make it to this restaurant after wanting to come for years and I can't believe it took me this long to come. This place has arguably the best waterfront view in CNY with two outdoor decks and an indoor dining room to get those views. The food was great and they have an extensive drink list, including wine flight options. The service was attentive and helpful with any questions we had. With the cherry on top, they do live music as well.

Great spot, even on a very hot evening the outdoor seating was enjoyable. Food was great too!
