The Getaway on Lake Como

They put us in a room with a table of 20 including children. It was LOUD! We would have waited longer to avoid the clamor. We waited a very long time for our food which was delicious but only luke warm at best. They said they were shorthanded - if that is the case then you should only seat as many customers as you can comfortably take care of. Also, our server forgot two items that were part of our meals. My husband and I were embarrassed as we told our friends how good breakfast was at The Getaway but it was a dismal experience.

Had breakfast. Place was pretty empty, got seated right away and served quickly. My gf got an omelette that she really enjoyed- I went for “the bootlegger” which is a giant 8 inch tall, 5 inch wide biscuit sandwich with eggs, cheese, and crispy fried chicken strips inside, doused in a very healthy helping of hot, fresh, and slightly spicy sausage gravy, all on a bed of potato slices; it was top notch and more than I could finish. $35 for two people and coffees plus tip, very fair considering the quality and service. We’ll be back.

What a wonderful morning! We had a huge group and everything was perfect! Excellent service, delicious food, and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

This place was fabulous. We had a great view of the lake and our server was friendly and attentive, even when it got really crowded. We made dinner reservations for a Friday at 5:00. Probably hadn't needed.them at that time, but glad we did just in case, as the place was packed! My husband got the speciality spiced ginger pear old fashioned, it was really tasty! I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. We ordered the mussels appetizer, absolutely amazing. It comes with bread and this appetizer, could have been one person's dinner. We actually ended up taking home the rest of the sauce because it had so much food stuff left in it! I ordered the Salmon picatta and the hubs ordered shrimp and scallop diablo. Both were excellent. We had the spinach salad and seafood bisque...again, absolutely delicious. For 3 drinks, 1 soda, appetizer, and 2 entrees our total was $120. Pricier for us, but we were celebrating, and what you get for the cost was worth it. We both had to take leftovers home, the portions were nice sized. There was a small sign at the table that mentioned that they would prefer if you kept your dining to 1.5 hours out of consideration. Our server when giving us the bill told us to take our time and did not make us feel rushed. We will be back!

We had high hopes for The Getaway as we new it was the same owners as Mars Resort. The food was good, and the waitress was great in the beginning. However our experience went from a 10 to a 0 once our bill was handed to us. The waitress asked if we wanted dessert, which we did not because our dinner portions were large. Upon bringing our bill. We were told there was a reservation waiting for our table and to keep that in mind as we finish up. This was by far the worst comment that could have been made to make my family feel NOT welcomed. We in had a reservation for our table and did not even order dessert. By no means did we over stay our welcome as the comment came when the check given to us. On our way out I did not notice anyone by the hostess and told her what our waitress had said. She smiled and said oh, well was your dinner good though as she thought it was funny. Wouldn’t recommend this place ti anyone unless they had a friendlier staff.

Delicious food & drinks. We enjoyed the Ricotta & honeycomb- it was so pretty & yummy. A vanilla lavender lemonade drink. Prime rib was huge -as was the grouper. All of the staff were lovely. Beautiful views of the lake too

Lake front views, friendly staff and best food in town. Gotta be good to find a parking spot though.
