Fitz's On The Lake

Great food. Real nice staff. Local flavor and people. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was that its so packed all the time. Only one picnic table outside to wait for a table if there's no room at the bar. Parking is a little crazy.

Waitress was attentive and pleasant. Kept our drinks full and was quick with a smile. I had Sunday special, fried chicken and haddock and had left overs; very good food and nice view. The bang bang calamari appetizer was good, but could've been a wee more spicy, just personal taste. A bite of the kids burgers proved also very good. Will come back.

Great diamond in the ruff. Good food. Good pricing. My favorite is the north Atlantic haddock cake sandwich. I've been here many times. Good lake view. Indoor and outdoor seating. Only a 30 min drive from Madison.

Had a group of 8. We were ignored, and finally bartender came out and seated us, and gave us menus. We finally went to bar and got our own water and drinks. It took our waitress a half hour before she took our order, as well as a table of 2 behind us. Half of us ordered just the salad bar and other 4 order simple sandwiches. The table that ordered the same time as us, got their order, ate, paid their bill, and left before any of us even got our order. Medium rare burgers were totally gray. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO THERE.

Arrived at 2:45 pm. Only sandwiches and apps. Ordered an app and drank $5 draft Miller lites (took 20 minutes to get the first one) until I could order a real meal at 4:00. Ordered steak and shrimp. When the food finally arrived 30 minutes later, the cocktail sauce was frozen and the steak had literally been cut in half. Someone took a whole steak, cut it in half, and cooked it. I ordered it medium rare. Cut off a bite, it was Grey throughout. Cut 2" further into it, still Grey. Called the server over, showed him the steak, he agreed it wasn't medium rare. He came back 2 minutes later with the exact same plate, same steak, same 2 shrimp (I ate one), and said "the cook said that's medium rare". I told him to take it back, remove it from my bill, and send the manager out. Apparently the manager is the owner, and the owner - you guessed it - is the cook. He proceeded to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about when it came to steak, and you had to cut the steak IN HALF to check the temperature. Really? So the steak I ordered, perhaps the center 2" square section would be cooked to how I ordered it? He then proceeded to ARGUE with me about it. This guy not only should not be allowed into a kitchen, but with his obviously high quality people skills, he should not be allowed anywhere NEAR a service industry, food or otherwise. I cook better steaks in my backyard. Not to mention $25 for three shrimp and literally half a steak? Not a portion that was half size, but they actually took a steak and cut it in half. One side was completely straight. Ridiculous. And then to argue with the customer because you don't know how to cook a steak? Our bill was $66 for 7 beers a soda and 2 appetizers. I would recommend to everyone and everyone that you stay as FAR away from this place as you possibly can. The food is terrible, the beer is overpriced, the owner is incompetent, and the food is terrible. The only reason this review got 1 star is because I couldn't give negative stars. The owner should sell this place immediately to someone who knows how to cook, because he is ruining what could be a fantastic restaurant right in the water. What a moron.
