Went in for a nice dinner with my girlfriend. Wasn’t too sure what to expect, at all really. We weren’t sure how to dress, the quality of god to expect, the atmosphere, everything was kind of up in the air. But we got there and were pleasantly surprised. I was wearing plain blue shorts and a passion red T-shirt and she was wearing a spring dress. Obviously nothing too fancy. We were right in the middle, clothing wise. Some were wearing suits and fancy dresses, others were very very casual, kids basically. We first sat down in the atrium, with a beautiful view of the golf courses. Unfortunately, to no fault of the restaurant’s, the sun was beeming straight into both our eyes. Also, a table of 5 or 6 people were already well established, with several drinks in each. As a result, the sounds echoing through the room were too loud to bear and we asked to switch our table somewhere else. Without a problem, we moved and that was that. As for the dining experience, it was very good, nothing too special though. Like many places, fresh bread was served with butter. Delicious of course, but nothing out of the ordinary. For our apps, we ordered chicken spring rolls and the caprease salad. Not a fan of the salad, I stuck to the spring rolls and found them quite tasty. My girlfriend stuck with the salad and found that quite tasty as well. Neither of us being old enough to drink alcohol, I can’t comment on the selection or quality of drinks, but the menu looked rather large. As for the main courses, she ordered salmon and I got the sea bass. Both were very good, but again, nothing amazing. Her salmon was covered in a type of raspberry glaze. It wasn’t my favorite, but she did love it. My sea bass also had a kind of peanut sauce around the outside. The sea bass and rice with this dish were delicious, but anything that touched the peanut sauce was nearly ruined in my opinion. I’m not a fan of peanut sauce, so if you’re not you may want to stay away from the sea bass, but otherwise it’s a great dish. Next came dessert. I love chocolate mousse do, accordingly, I ordered the chocolate mousse cake. It was tasty, but certainly did not seem to be freshly baked. It seemed like more of a packaged food. Now I could be wrong, but I was not impressed with my mouse cake. My girlfriend ordered cheesecake, which is her favorite. She liked it very much, but again it wasn’t a renowned cheesecake. So dessert was mildly disappointing, but I’ll live. Overall, Lakeside Grill is above average and a great place for a date or a special get together. The food is good, but not too much more. I’ve only been once, so perhaps my review is skewed by that, but I don’t think I will be going again anytime soon.

Been eating at the ‘Abbey’ for more than 20 years, and it’s still good today. It’s a nicely laid out restaurant with a patio that overlooks the golf course. The food depends on the chef, but it’s almost always very good, and the wait staff is friendly. More importantly, I had my wedding in the downstairs ball room here some 14 years ago, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was great, the staff attentive, and the memories will be with us forever.

Lived in the area for so long and never went here until tonight. Sat at the bar area where mostly 50 to 70 year Olds were hanging out. A band was playing as we munched on our food. The service was handled by 2 sweet and attentive bartenders. What we ordered were really basic, but dull bar food. Supposedly, weddings at this venue are first rate. I think we will be back for another shot.

Love the Lakeside Grille at Ramsey CC. Food is always great! We loved the different country themes they had over the summer. They are also very accomodating with changes. Noise level can get loud, hard to have a conversation at the table and room is always very cold, suggest you bring a jacket or sweater! Service is always great! Also love the Saturday night music.

The service was great but the food was at best just ok. After reading the other great reviews, I was confident that our Saturday night dining experience was going to be memorable but the food was pricey and not high quality. It seemed like the«chef’s culinary expertise» was based on the use of the microwave. And if by chance management is reading this review, it’s time to change the reused fat in the fryer. Zucchini sticks were heavily breaded and the crab cakes were more cake than crab.

The bartenders are awesome. Five stars for them. Minus one star for tasteless Pad Thai. I know it’s my fault for ordering that at this establishment, but I just couldn’t resist. Still… if you are going to have a special menu and charge me $ 25 for a plate at least give me a little flavor. I was excited when I heard there was going to be free appetizers and beer specials for the World Cup. I’m never one to complain about FREE food, but I’m making an exception. The free appetizers consisted of Elio’s frozen pizza cut into triangles. Minus one star for trying to trick me. I actually love Elio’s, but really? They sell this pizza over at the pool snack stand. I just don’t think it could have hurt for the chef to have made his own pizza considering there are pizettas on the appetizer menu. So my love/hate relationship with the Lakeside Grille continues.

The Lakeside Grille at the Ramsey Golf and Country Club has been running specials all summer with specials from different countries. I did not go to any of them but when I read about some Oktoberfest activity it piqued my interest. The German specials are only on Thursday night in October. Apparently, they are going to change up every week. So, what you read below may not be available. We began with 2 appetizers on the specials menu. The first was Uberbackener Spinat Mit Kase(baked spinach and triple cream Pierre Robert cheese casserole. Served with toasted pretzel bread). This was probably the best thing we ate that night. When we ran out of the pretzel bread we dipped into their very good bread basket filled with homemade warm rolls and everything crunchy flat breads. The second appetizer was Blatterteig Spargel(grilled asparagus and smoked salmon in a savory puff pastry with American Sturgeon caviar hollandaise sauce) This was a very good dish too. The only problem is that they completely forgot about the salmon. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize it at first. They did remove the item from the bill. Otherwise they offered no explanation and no apology. My main was the Wurst Platte(Bratwurst, Weisswurst, and Knackwurst Sausages with Homemade Sauerkraut, Whipped Potatoes and Whole Grain Mustard Cream). It was quite disappointing. I wish they had grilled the meats instead of just boiling. It makes a world of difference. I should have known better and asked for the grain mustard cream sauce on the side. A bit of brown mustard would have been much better. The red cabbage had a strange creamy texture. Unsure if it was just from the aforementioned cream sauce. Wife had the fish and chips and said they were good although slightly burnt. Service was spotty.

Excellent American grill fare! Great quality food and good service in great atmosphere for couples and families alike. Great place for nicely portioned lunches too. If you sit at the bar you gotta try the spiced homemade chips. Went there with some friends and enjoyed the live music too.
