Our experience at Sunnyside was wonderful! It never disappoints. We have been dining there for over 30 years. Tonight our group enjoyed the filet, the halibut, and the roasted chicken. Each dish was delicious and beautifully served. The waitstaff was attentive and professional.

I did not have high expectations after reading recent reviews. The burgers, steak, and salmon bowl were all wonderful! We had 5:30 reservation, got a window seat, and the place was pretty quiet. No complaints. We'd easily go again.

Memorably bad service. Spoke to our waiter once. Constant long waits - we were never asked if we wanted another drink, how food was, etc.

We very like the ambience of Sunnyside, but the food this time was only meh, mostly because the salmon bowl that we remembered fondly from last year has changed.

Booked a reservation at sunnyside for a nice valentine’s day dinner with my wife. Our experience was just ok, and was not the nice romantic dinner we were hoping for. My wife is a vegetarian, so before booking the res I checked their menu for some good vegetarian options, which i saw on their online menu. However, when we arrived the vegetarian options were very limited . It would be great to have at least one main vegetarian dish to offer. My wife ended up just getting a salad. I got the filet mignon, and was not impressed especially for the price of $60. It was a small piece, my steak was cut in half when arrived, and vegetables and potatoes were overcooked. The ambience is nice, but seems that it was really nice 10 years ago. The tables, chairs, and booths have a lot of wear and tear. It could really use a refresh to bring it back to the level it used to be. All things considered its a fine place for a casual lunch or dinner, but a pass for a nice romantic dinner out.

We were there on “Taco Tuesday “ - the shrimp tacos were delicious, as was my margarita! We sat at a window table and watched the full moon over the lake!

Felt rushed. Courses were coming out when we were still eating the previous course. Bolognese was burnt. Might be good for breakfast/lunch but sublime for dinner
