My girlfriend and I live nearby and after giving Lakeside a few tries, we are glad to see a privately owned restaurant with a different concept.
We checked it out initially with a Groupon deal of some kind, but return here regularly. There was one time we had poor service from some waitress, and although I see her there , we were only served by her one time.
Otherwise, service is good, food is good (breakfast and dinner), and they have good beer taps. Although this is more of a restaurant than a bar (doesn't stay open too late), the Happy Hour specials are really really good, and the beer selection is great (Firestone IPA on draft?!! YES PLEASE). Especially since Squid doesn't have good drink specials anymore.
For anyone who has lived in this part of the neighborhood for a while and haven't checked out the Haymaker, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
