I ate at this four dads pup just a couple weeks after they opened.I brought my mother all the way from South Carolina to Connecticut for her 50th class reunion which they decided the day before the reunion they would have a meet up at 4 Dad's pub.There was about 60 to 65 people that showed up at the restaurant that night all from my mom's class reunion Plus all of the regular customers that were sitting inside the restaurant.I will admit there was quite a bit of confusion with the drink orders and when it came time to pay the bills but I completely understand because there was so many separate orders sometimes there would be three to four different orders per table as you can imagine it could get confusing.I personally had the inferno chicken dip.Which I could only describe as amazing with the pita bread that was served with it.I actually had a long conversation with one of the owners at the end of my meal and told him how wonderful everything went and how great the food was.I have already been back to a different for Dad's pub in Granby Connecticut and I will return every time I come up to Connecticut.
Really enjoyed the live music, The Leftovers.The hostesses and waitstaff were very friendly and apologetic when things weren't on point.Unfortunately, our drinks came late....it seemed that a lot of drinks were just sitting and waiting to be picked up by waitstaff.And then one of our entrees was barely lukewarm when it arrived.Waitstaff needs to get better at timing and window pickup (Should have been fully trained three weeks after opening - not an excuse).Would not recommend the Steak & Cheese...the meat was overcooked, and there wasn't even enough to cover the bread it was served on (very small portion), and again lukewarm.The wings were decent.With limited menu option, every entree should really be on point.Also, you need to advertise your buffet hours better. Great location and love overlooking the water, just need to improve on these areas.Hope you do, so we can keep coming and enjoying the music! (Also would love to see more seafood on the menu, especially being right on the water.)
Beyond disappointed.I was a huge fan of Lakeview; enjoyed the food, drinks, staff, view and was saddened when Leo sold it.I was hopeful the new owners would continue with good food and drinks but each time I go there, they are closed.I don't understand how you can run a restaurant and only be open every now and then.Coventry really needs nice dining options and this place can't even stay opened for the residents to give it a try.I would give it zero stars but have to click on a star to post the review.
