"Tavern at Lakeside offers great drinks and food along with a lackluster dining experience. Firstly, the layout was not well thought out. Especially on busy nights, like a Friday, it feels like walking through a Tokyo subway station. Secondly, I guess their A/C was not working this night because the temperature and humidity was akin to a reptilian habitat. Thirdly, the place has a fly problem. My wife and I spent most of our time fighting off the horde of flies that were harassing us throughout out dinner. I think some ceiling fans would?ve helped with the temperature and flies, but there are none. The food was alright. Highlight of the meal was definitely the fries which were seasoned well and just the right amount of crispiness. The drinks were excellent, the mixologist was definitely having a good night. Bottom line, not the best first impression. Probably will only come back for the bar."
