Great place to sit lakeside! We had lunch. Attentive help. Hubby had chicken wings and he said they good & meaty. He had lemon pepper dry rub. I had fish tacos & fries. Pretty dish, but very salty. One taco shell came split. They were tasty but just too salty. Maybe you can order without seasoning?? The fries were fresh & plentiful. Clean restrooms. Kind of pricey for what you're getting but the location makes up for it.
Once we sat down to eat this place was pretty decent. Selection was limited for my picky kid, but I can always find something to eat. There wasn't much in the way of vegetarian options. Can't beat sitting out on the dock in the summer. The only real hang up was it took a while to sit down. It wouldn't be that bad since it was such a nice day, but there's no where to wait. It's a hotel too, so everywhere to wait seems like you're on someone's terrace. Anyway, I don't think there's another place quite this nice in town, so I'd say make a reservation & enjoy the lake views.
What a beautiful location right on Clear Lake. We stopped in for lunch on our way North and it was well worth the jaunt off I35. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The wine was delicious and priced very well. We both had the Starboard greens salad with grilled chicken. The salad was sooo good and the chicken was cooked perfectly, moist and delicious. I could come back here to stay!!! Love it!
Nice little outdoor place by Lakeside Inn. Good place to hang out,, have drinks, and enjoy the view.. Food was good. Try the crab nachos.
