   The Surfside was our first experience in French cuisine, including French onion soup. Delicious food and fantastic service! The lighting could have been a tad dimmer. Otherwise, it was a perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for two.

   We arrived at our 7:15 reservation for their 3 course meal special New Years evening and were seated within 15 mins. It took the waiter 30 mins to come and ask if we wanted drinks. The menu was selected for the evening and there was 3 choices. We were told one choice, the filet, was not available. I ordered the mushroom ravioli a Cesar salad and creme brûlée. The ravioli was amazing! The Cesar salad was decent. After 2 hours they came out with an apple tart and stated the creme brûlée was out, “here ya go”without telling us even what it was. No apologies nothing. 3 hour later we leave with our 280 bill. The food was amazing! I had one drink the special was an old fashioned. That was REALLY good! Service was poor. We saw many tables get served food they didn’t order and couples waiting 45 mins for their seat. Definitely needs to be organized more. I can live without food not being available and a busy dining area but I do expect excellent wait staff to make up for it. If service would have been good I would have given it 5 stars! After hearing rumors not to go there we gave them a shot anyway. I can honestly say we will not return.

   It was big city great! There were three in our party and we each had different starters. Caesar salad, wedge salad and French onion soup which were all fabulous with such presentation! Our main entrees were also a work of art. I had sea bass in a chanterelle sauce, my husband had duck and our son had venison. The venison was medium well and was ordered medium rare but that could have been a misunderstanding. It was delicious anyway. The chef walked around to all tables checking on our food. We had dessert of molten lava cake with ice cream and a crème brûlée. All were wonderful. We had not been here before but will definitely return.

   Classical preparations from seasoned chefs. They bring a European flare to high quality ingredients. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The wine list has both old world and domestics options that pair well with the cuisine. Make sure to ask about the specials.

   My husband had fish and risotto and thought it was very good. I had the beef ravioli and it was very good

   We have always loved Surfside but the chef's this year for season 2024 are amazing. A changing menu with wonderful specials and a great wine selection. Upscale Lake Dining.

   I would like to know the kind of bread that was served with the marinated olives?
