What Tyler Yundt dislikes about Generations:
I love the location of this restaurant, the staff are amazing, great view. I was disappointed by breakfast. I thought the buffet was overpriced for what was available and none of it was that amazing. It was what I expect at say...,a family hotel free lobby breakfast. I might have been there on an off day. Or maybe they didn't have all their dishes out as it was just me. But this restaurant has such great potential, I... View all feedback.

I can concur the previous review. We were the "two guys at the next table" who had arrived 15 minutes earlier. I, too, thought the "duck meatloaf" was Spam. And I thought I recognised the kale salad as Costco. The slider trio were good, but the buns were Wonder-Bready. It sounds like we got the last of cheesecake, which was okay, but also wouldn't surprise me if it was Costco. I have no proof of the food being catered by Chez Costco, but it sure seemed so.My glass of wine had sediment.The highlight of the evening was witnessing our neighbouring table being chewed out by the "chef" for not having liked their appetisers. I had to assume she is a chef because she wore a hat.The porch's bug screens don't exist anymore. Some tables had dozens of dead insects on them.It was a big surprise after eating to learn that they don't accept credit or debit. Thankfully we were able to scrounge together the $70 this lousy meal cost.On the plus side, our waitress was good. I feel sorry that she will soon be unemployed when the restaurant goes under.The real shame is that we used to really enjoy Generations and went about 2X a year. Never again.

First but definitely not last time this wonderful establishment for dinner! Loved thst they had dinner for two pricing as well. I was very impressed with smoked Backribs (did find sauce little too spicy for my liking tho), the escargot appetizer was excellent, as was the Carrot cheesecake.. highly recommend all of these! Service and busy persons came by often and Service was quick! Awesome chefs...well done by all. Just wish in evg they would open blinds a bit more when not sunny so you can have good view of lake....I enjoyed the lakeside table section where we sat.
