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 waited for 30 minutes for our first round of drinks and over an hour (!!) for our food to arrive. They had tons of servers running around but we were apparently invisible as our waiter only checked in on us once to tell us our food was almost ready (a full 30 minutes before it made it to our table). The service was so abominable we could only laugh! Fun atmosphere at the lake but the food was mediocre at best and the service convinced us never to return. Very disappointing!

I miss the old Sunnyside when the bar menu and the restaurant menu were separated. The service and atmosphere were excellent but the food portions are small expensive and I feel like it’s a rip off. I have been going to Sunnyside since the early 1980’s and as a local who knows how special it used to be the community I will have a hard time coming back or recommending it.

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.

This place is a classic for lunch on the West Shore. It’s hard to have a bad experience when looking out across the lake on a gorgeous sunny day. And even though the wait staff turns over every summer, they are always friendly and capable. If you look hard enough you can probably find something you don’t like, but it’s just as easy to have a great time.
