Restaurants near Island Lake State Recreation Area

Amazing evening! Only negative was that there was a loud group of 10+ men, but understandable considering it’s the holiday season. And they were only very loud for about 10 min. They did apologize to everyone in the dining room. One off incident. But otherwise an amazing evening and place!!

Very busy time of the year. The restaurant was extremely busy. With this said, BBG did not miss a beat. Service was very good and the food was delicious. We are never disappointed when ding at BBG.

Fabulous time, as always, though with the holidays and large table groups we had to wait 30 minutes beyond our reservation time to get seated. The cocktails and food never disappoint so it was worth the wait! If you are a first timer, the entry way doesn't have a lot of waiting space and the bar fills up, so take that into consideration.

Every experience at Ciao Amici has been superb. The food is not just great, it's special. The service is always wonderful. We always take friends because we count on Ciao Amici to make the experience memorable, and they never disappoint.

Our table of 6 started with drinks, then ordered multiple appetizers, steaks, and sides and all was delicious! The steaks were prepared perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. The sides were absolutely delicious. Try both the Au Gratin and Romanov potatoes, you won't be disappointed! Our favorite apps were the pork belly and beef wellington. Service was attentive and extremely friendly.
