    Very good food. Menu not extensive but sufficient. Only issue is that the seating is close to other diners. Since we like to talk, it was somewhat inhibiting regarding what could be said. However it is understandable in a busy resort that they would want to accommodate many of their guests.

    International Nights are a good way to introduce cuisine to children.

    Solid restaurant. The ambience and views of the lake are excellent and are worth the trip. The food was tasty and classic bar and grill fair. Service during the off-season was slow and could have been faster. Besides that would recommend.

    The menu is updated seasonally, and if you ever have the opportunity to go during the international nights you should make a reservation to experience it at least once. The food is pretty good, and the portions are often large enough to split with a family member. Service can be a little slow in the winter months since the staff is usually reduced. During the spring and summer you can opt to dine outside and enjoy the view of Otsego lake.

    We’ve been going to the Hawkeye for years. It’s a wonderful place. I do wish they would update their menu with some more innovative new American cuisine.
