    Fabulous prime rib prepared perfectly as ordered! The rigatoni and pork chop looks amazing as well. Oh and we had some delicious sticky toffee pudding and apple tart too. Always great service & fresh food. Thank you Julie.

    Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor both covered and uncovered. Indoors, tables are covered in white tablecloths and napkins are white cloth. Tables aren't crammed together, good spacing. A good, wide view of the lake. The water they brought to the table was infused with lemon. I ordered unsweetened brewed iced tea. I'm used to getting your basic black tea when I order this. This one had some slight undertone of raspberry and/or lemon. Not strongly, just not what I want. I let the waitress know that she could just take it away, it wasn't what I liked. She offered to bring me a second glass to see if it was better. I hesitated and she said that she would just bring it. When she brought it, she said to see what I thought, but that they wouldn't charge me for it either way. It was the same taste. We ordered a Maxburger to split, well done. It came with your choice of two toppings (3 cheeses, bacon, or mushrooms). We chose swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms. It also came with soup, coleslaw, chips or fries. We chose fries. The burger was great, with good flavor in the cheese. A well-balanced combination. The fries had a light coating and good seasoning. We enjoyed them. We arrived a little after noon on a Wednesday in the last week of the season. So a slower time of the year. There were never very many there, but business picked up as we were there. Service was slower than some places, but the resort atmosphere means you usually aren't on a deadline and so you don't mind the pace. The waitress showed us the dessert tray. When we decided not to order, the waitress said, "No problem. It was my pleasure to show you the dessert tray." Very classy!

    Wilted!! You would think that in the Great Lakes area that the salads would be fresh and tasty, but it was all wilted. The food was just mediocre, as was the service, although the portions were large. Maxwell's owners were in the restaurant and could have added a touch of home town appeal by greeting diners.

    I wanted to give Maxwell's 3.5 stars, but will give them four because they had Nordeast in IA. We ate on the patio, which was the right choice. Inside was much nicer, and a more "mature" crowd, not what we wanted on our family vacation. Whatever you order, get the fries! They are fantastic. I had their special farm raised cheese burger, very good. We saw items come the tables around us, looks like they have great appetizers, kinda wish I had ordered the muscles. A fun twist - they serve the kids meals on frizz-bees! The girls loved it and there is a nice open space next to the cafe that you can toss them around at.

    Sadly, this restaurant provided the best meal of my three day stay in okoboji. I dined at five different restaurants while attending the Victory rally and the service and quality of food was severely lacking at all of the other establishments. I dined on the patio and the service was perfect. Having been burned at all previous attempts at local dining in the area, I ordered a simple cheeseburger and fries which were cooked to perfection. Since that was so good, I also ordered desert which was properly presented with some flair and tasted delicious. I may have to restrict my future dining in this area to this restaurant alone. Great view of the lake and the location couldn't have been better.

    Service was prompt initially but slow after ordering. Food was good but not exceptional. Menu was uninspiring. French fries were unexpectedly very good. (and I usually dodge the fried starch!) Atmosphere on the open air seating was very nice, overlooking the lake and the park in the very center of things (my iPhone typed "thongs" for "things"... also accurate) A 'light' lunch for 4 adults and 2 children (aka kid's menu) ran us a little over $80. Would recommend for drinks and the French fries but for lunch, not worth the price.

    I have been here 3 times now, always hoping it would get better. Was just there for lunch and had an awful hamburger! The burger fell apart and had a few hard pieces in it that I had to spit out. My husbands was raw in the center and cold. I will not go there again... three strikes you are out. On the bright side though, they did offer gluten free penne mac and cheese on the kids menu that was homemade. This item was very good! Funny that my 1-1/2 year old had the best meal! The prices are outrageous for the quality of food. I have had better tasting hamburgers from Culvers! I have ordered salads in the past too that was sub-par. The decor is sad too.

    Anyone who gives this place less than 5 stars does not know good food if it hit them in the face! The patio is the perfect location for a meal lakeside! Even on chilly days they turn the outdoor heaters and it leaves the customers comfortable. The indoor dining is elegant and the menu here is superb! This place is the best fine dining menu in the lakes area. Might I suggest the calamari, flatbread pizza, and Italian nachos for appetizers! For meals the fish tacos, burgers, steaks, lobster, and lamb have all been amazing! You can't go wrong with anything you order here!

    Best meal in Okoboji. Fantastic service. Wonderful location on the boardwalk. Very family friendly. We let the kids go back and forth between the park and rides. We will definitely return!

    What a fantastic spot. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Great food, fair prices and exceptional service. The location is great too. Our server was a very nice young lady who goes to school at Stanford and spend the summer at this nice lake. She was knowledgable, friendly, and very pleasant. We will be back again soon, and will ask for the same server as well! Definitely worth a visit.

    Could have gotten 5 stars but the service was poor. Seems like the girl may have been having a bad day so I understand. Will definitely be back to give them another shot. Cool place!

    The food was good. The prime rib and walleye were the best. The salads were a bit plain. The screened deck and service was outstanding.

    A good place if you want to celebrate an anniversary or taking your significant other for dinner it's a nice place but not where you need to wear a full suit. Prime rib was awesome and their Italian nachos are amazing. I had the shrimp scampi, but thought it was bland I wouldn't get it again.

    Now here is some excellent food in the Arnold's Park amusement park and shopping area. It has indoor and patio seating with a nice view of the lake. My friend and I went at lunch time. There were few other guests but service and meal preparation were still slow. We had the prime rib panini with grilled onions, cheddar, garlic spread and horseradish dip. Very good. We also had their cheeseburger made from locally raised Iowa beef. It was delicious! Best burger I've had in a long time. Fries are crispy and seasoned - yum! Coleslaw, nothing special. I'd like to go back for that cheeseburger... Mmmmm.....

    Very good food, hats off to the chef and whoever came up with the recipes. 3 stars because the service was incredibly slow, we were the only ones there on a week day (besides maybe 2-3 parties outside) and it took about 45 minutes before we got any food. Their prices are comparable to other classy restaurants.
