text: We had our wedding reception at lakeside grill for 50 people in the vista room.   Christina Telese was my contact for the event, and she was nothing short of fantastic.  She really helped me get everything together and I could not have done it without her.  \n\nWe chose this location based on a couple of things.  \n1.  SW would not accommodate a party our size \n2. We have eaten here before and liked the food, although the service left something to be desired\n3. It's a beautiful space in a beautiful hotel\n \nThe menu we chose was their priciest at $150.00 pp.  Mostly everything was great but there were some misses.  Our menu consisted of... \n\n*Antipasto including iberico ham, manchego cheese, marinated olives & bread -  this was a hit.  everything was delicious\n\n*Black Truffle Arancini -  Delicious and they went fast\n\n*Whipped garlic feta cheese with mushrooms and bread - Could have skipped it\n\nShellfish Platters - made up of the largest shrimp I have ever seen, lobster tails, oysters and Alaskan king crab legs.  These were awesome.  everything tasted fresh and great.  Nice portion for everyone at our table\n\nSalad Course was good, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, peppers, manchego \n\nKing Crab Risotto -  This dish was very rich and very tasty.  the risotto was perfectly cooked.\n\nOur entrees consisted of \nDover Sole - my guests who ordered this said it was OK and wished they got something else.  It was not prepared properly\n\nFilet and Lobster tail -  the filet was perfectly cooked as were the lobster tales but the tales were tiny.  I mean baby lobster tiny.  Still very good though. \n\nBone in NY Strip - The steak itself was very good, however, our guests did not get a choice on temperature.  So most were very rare.  I know that this is typical for most large parties but still.. \n\nFor dessert we had an assortment brought to each table.  Nothing was really a stand out unfortunately.  \n\nThe service for the most part was great, the beginning of the meal felt very rushed to me.  I'm not sure anyone else noticed but overall it was a fantastic meal.  I will definitely return.
