| - I visited this restaurant on a girls trip for our 30th birthdays. We were in the mood for seafood and had wanted to check out Wynn. So, Lakeside worked out great. We made reservations and were greeted at the hostess station. When it was our turn to sit, they said the reservation name, and we obliged. Apparently, the name they said was in fact not ours, and we misheard. We realized once they walked us to our table, which was in a private dining room with a pre-fixed menu (clearly not for us!). When I shared with the hostess that I think there has been a mistake, she berated me like a child stating that she "said the name three times!". So disrespectful! Your mistake is not my issue. I dismissed her and decided to approach a manager to address the situation rather than deal with her. I was assured he'd be right over to speak with me, which never happened. She must have let the entire waitstaff know her experience with us, because the whole time we were treated so inappropriately.
Here we are, six hard-working girls from all over the country coming together to celebrate each other, and we were treated as if we were 18 years old on spring break. I'd also like to make mention that none of us had been drinking, we were dressed our age, and all of us have an appreciation for a nice meal and are willing to pay the price. In fact, our only intention for our final night was to enjoy a relaxed, beautiful dinner together. We were so disappointed.
The food was subpar. My swordfish was okay, the scallops were good. Small portions, large prices. The waiter was not interested in sharing specials or suggestions with us.
I've been to so many restaurants in my life...I've had good, great, indifferent and bad service. My experience at Lakeside was by far the most insulting and negative dining experience I've ever encountered. Needless to say, I would never return, nor recommend this establishment.
