              A lovely casual restaurant on the lake with fantastic views. The wine selection was great. Food selections were limited. Spinich salad came with very small piece of salmon. Calamari steak strips were delivered 10 min ahead of other meals and had a heavy breading.

              Seafood curry and halibut were delicious! Yak pasta interesting, and kids meals adequate. Zucchini appetizer and calamari very good as well. Beautiful view! Server very nice. Hula pie a perfect end to the meal.

              We have been coming to Sunnyside Mother's Day brunch for several years. While the location and dining ambiance is always beautiful, the food, value and service have declined over the years. The variety of food has gone down and the cost of the Brunch has increased. The coffee we ordered was looke warm and our server never returned to refill it. We were sat on the outside patio where the wind was blowing so hard that full glasses of water were overturned, condiments were knocked off our table and cotton napkins flew away in the wind. Our server was not very informative or accommodating. It is our hope that the feedback we provide can help improve the customer experience.

              We were so looking forward to the Fresh Fish and chips with halibut! It sounded like it would be delicious! However the halibut seemed dense and not flavorful. Perhaps stick to Cod for fish and chips? The desert was huge (Kimo's Original Hula pie) really a big slice! However the ice cream so frozen and the cookie crust were so hard we couldn't cut it with our spoon or fork. We literally had to tip the ice cream on it's side and it was still a fight to get a spoonful. We may try breakfast there at some point but overall it just wasn't as good as we were hoping.

              Our experience at Sunnyside was wonderful! It never disappoints. We have been dining there for over 30 years. Tonight our group enjoyed the filet, the halibut, and the roasted chicken. Each dish was delicious and beautifully served. The waitstaff was attentive and professional.

              I did not have high expectations after reading recent reviews. The burgers, steak, and salmon bowl were all wonderful! We had 5:30 reservation, got a window seat, and the place was pretty quiet. No complaints. We'd easily go again.
