Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Sunnyside offers a beautiful lakeside dining experience with "spectacular views" and a "fun and friendly atmosphere." While the service is often praised as "excellent," there are occasional slowdowns. The menu is diverse with highlights like the "salmon rice bowl" and "Hula Pie." However, some dishes could benefit from consistency.

We had our worst experience ever at Sunnyside Sunday evening. We have been coming to Sunny side for over 35 years, my kids have worked at the restaurant etc. We booked our reservation months in advance. Showed up for a 7:15 reservation. Waiting a little while for a table is never a big deal…we waited about 30 minutes to be seated at a very TINY table NOT SUITABLE for 5 adults SHOVED against a guard rail. We are very tolerant and respect the industry. We know things are not always perfect. Had our service been even decent, it would have been okay. We were greeted one time to take a drink order and app order. After the apps were delivered and our order was taken, we did not see our waiter nor did he return to our table for over 55 minutes. At this point, every table around us has been served and received their check. It was beyond acceptable. We approached the hostess to let her know that it had been over an hour with no interaction from our waiter and no dinner entrees. The waiter came 10 minutes later with our food . Time was close to 10pm and restaurant was emptied out. There was no explanation, no apology absolutely zero acknowledgement of any hiccup. Shame on you Sunnyside. We are easy going customers. There could have at least been an apology for such a horrible experience. 👎🏻

We’ve been going to Sunnyside for years. Unfortunately much about this establishment seems to be going downhill. The tables and chairs are falling apart. The menu has changed and there is less to choose from and the food was barely mediocre. We were disappointed and won’t go back for dinner. Maybe drinks and a snack would be worth a visit.

Sunnyside has gone way downhill this year. Food isn't great and the place looks dirty. All new faces and the old friendly staff are gone.

Have not been here in years- now a commercial tourist trap who’s only plus is the outdoor patio view of the lake. Packed in late June with families with kids. Not a romantic place at all. Service is just ok. Biggest complaint was my friend wanted the grilled salmon with potatoes instead of rice (potatoes are on the menu as a side with other dishes). Our waiter said the kitchen is too busy to make substitutions! Really on a $39. Entree? I also asked in advance for a birthday desert with a candle as a surprise to my friend- got nothing, just the bill so they could turn the table.

Always love eating outside in the summer at Sunnyside. This time however, like last year, the dinner was NOT worth the cost. 3 of us had ribs and they were all cold and the fish and chips were so so. The ice cream for the Hula Pie was sadly not good at all and very little chocolate. It’s just the service is always great and you can’t beat the views. But the COST and the quality for the meal was NOT worth it.
