Eastbay Lodge

My husband and I just got married in March. He has a vacation home at WinterHaven. This was my first weekend here to visit and see the area - finally. (We live in Sparta). My husband has been in this area for a few decades and knows all the restaurants and hot spots well. I was very excited to visit East Bay this last Saturday. Very nice "lodge" feel in the dining room and the dining area was beautiful! The hostess sat us in the corner by the Lakeview. Our server was nice. I asked he give us about 5 more minutes to decide what we wanted. He walked through the dining room again after 5-10 minutes and I tried to flag him down...we were ready to order but he wasn't really paying attention. I could tell he had health issues so I wasn't upset. He went on the patio and started closing up all the umbrellas. We could see this was gonna take a long time and that he probably forgot about us. But we were ready to eat! I went up to the cashier area and asked the nice waitress with long blonde hair if we could please place our order because I thought our server forgot about us. She was very willing and happy to help with a smile. The salad bar was good. Food was fresh. No brown lettuce! REAL bacon pieces for the salad. Great bread sticks... soft and warm...BUTTERY! perfect to dip in the soup or chowder whatever it was. It was very thick and had mushrooms in it . Our sirloin steaks were PERFECT medium. Seriously perfect! Crinkle cut fries perfectly fried crispy none were burnt. I seriously love this place. Such a nice experience with my amazing husband. So far I've tried Flaters ( great double cheeseburger at a dive bar wow). Birch Point (great Friday buffet and great price). Ted's (overpriced food, filthy table, poor service, dry pre-frozen cheeseburger and flies hopping on your food every few seconds INDOORS). I wanted to go to East Bay again for dinner last night but hubby wanted me to experience Ted's. East Bay my favorite place in the area so far. My only suggestion... With COVID still around and germs everywhere on the planet... Allow people to open their own pop cans please.😶 Servers are cleaning dirty dishes from other tables then putting their fingers on top of your can to open it which goes straight to your lips. This allows for huge transfer of germs. Most people like to wipe off the top of their can before drinking from it. Once it's opened... It's too late. And I can open my own ranch cup too LOL😁. I give this place 5 stars for quality...service...friendly staff...CLEAN tables...beautiful dining area with perfect lakefront view...and great food! For sure will be back again! Thanks for a great experience! I will be excited to visit again at East Bay! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I recently just had my wedding reception here at the East Bay Lodge. Dave and his staff were amazing to work with!! They were very accommodating with requests or any questions that came up, Dave always responded within 10 minutes or less. I would highly recommend having an event hosted at the East Bay Lodge.
