The Lakeside Tavern

Great looking Tavern converted from and old schoolhouse. Atmosphere and decor was spot on. I had a blackberry sage cider. I was not too keen on the taste. Sage was a bit strong. Our dinner was phenomenal and beautiful presentation. I had some type of beef stroganoff. The meat was melting in my mouth. Sorry forgot the name. And my wife had a pasta dish. The spaghetti noodle were huge! Never seen noodles like that, but really good. Sorry again for the name. Their menus are not updated online. And for desert I had carrot cake. I was not impressed with that, it was not moist.

We had an amazing time! We were in Chelan for work and stopped at this amazing place. This is our second time eating here. Live music both times. Great food. Great atmosphere! What a great place to come and enjoy food, amazing drinks 🍻 🍷,meet friends, and enjoy good music! They do have a ramp for disabled people. We travel with Tommy who is pretty disabled but we were able to use the ramp just fine to get inside.

My husband and I had dinner here and had such a lovely experience. We sat at the bar and started with great drinks. Prepared well and presented well - both were old fashineds. One was the Breakfast Club. Yum!! We followed this with half BLT salads. Home run again. Then one of us had the Columbia River steelhead and the other had the crispy pork roulade the steelhead was delicious. The pork was good but not my very favorite. The carrot puree was delicious and a great pairing!

I wish you could taste this food and sip this cocktail right now. The most tender and delicious braised short rib. I cannot get over the service, the music, the environment. You simply must make your way to Lakeside Tavern. We were lucky enough to snag seats at the bar tonight when we forgot to make reservations.

My rating is not 5 stars because service was extremely slow, but very kind and friendly people. Given it is a new place and are not fully staffed I am just taking one star. The food was great, although the Thai wings were not a favorite. The burgers and sandwiches were really good. The fries are fantastic, real potatoes and crispy. They serve Sigillio wines, which is a plus. We also had the basque cheese cake which was pretty good too (it is one of my favorite desserts and we had to try it here$. The place is very cool, with really good decor and ambience. They have a stage ready for live music. We’ll give it another chance for sure. Totally recommend it but go with patience until they are fully staffed.
