Tavern at Twin Lakes

I don't understand how this place has the 4 star review. Good part first. Food was pretty good, although pricey. Our waitress was fantastic. She was probably the best part of the restaurant. Then, the OWNER walks in. My stress level went through the roof. He was VERY obviously drunk (to put it gently), up in customers faces yelling about the Browns game. Changing channels on the tv while yelling like a loon. Our waitress tried SEVERAL times to get him to quiet down and chill out. He never stopped. This is definitely one place we will NEVER visit again. Much respect for the staff who deals with this daily. I couldn't take it and we left.

I pass this tavern 10 plus times a week and have always wanted to stop. I was recently able to go for lunch with my wife and brother. The inside is reminiscent of a sea side bar/grille (fitting as it is perched on the edge of Twin East). The outside includes and nice eating area and bar. The only negative aspect I noticed was the smell. We were near the restrooms, and a light stale urine smell seemed to creep out from that area. The lunch menu has a good variety of seafood and bar staples. Calamari, Alligator, Fish, etc. My group ordered an appetizer of calamari and alligator. The actual entrees feature clam strips, lobster salad, burgers, salads, fried fish etc. We ordered a burger, lobster salad wrap, and fried fish. The burger was okay, I did not think it was anything special. Frozen patty served with what appeared to be store bought potato chips. The fried fish though was wonderful as were the fries. The lobster salad wrap was excellent. It is quite different than the types I have had in Maine, but it was top to bottom lobster. The pasta salad served with it was good but had way too much dressing. The prices at lunch time are reasonable, but be aware the dinner menu appeared to run 25-40 per entree with offerings of premium fish/steak.

The tavern is a local landmark, right off of Rt 43, you can't miss it. It's not a fancy place but it's not a dive either. The place shows its age but its got character. The atmosphere is casual, the service friendly and the food good. There are some great views of the lake, both from the restaurant and patio.

Would have been nice if someone would have waited on us. The bartender was the only person working but she could have acknowledged us. We walked out!

Tonight was my first time at the tavern. I had the salmon dinner with apple pie and ice cream for dessert. The service was good and my order came in a reasonable time.
