Great view, shabby inside, slow service

We will give Chesdin another try only because we go to the lake quite often in the summer and we used to love this restaurant. The problem with the food should have been caught in the kitchen and there did not seem to be enough wait staff . We sat too long waiting for our check. We were served baked potatoes that were not cooked which they resolved with 2 cooked potatoes but my husband's fried platter was over cooked and over breaded. We both think the quality of food for the money does not match. His comment was that he was full but not satisfied. I had the salmon and the flavor was good but on the verge of being overcooked as well. It used to be much better so we know how good it could be. We hope it will get there again.
- Pros: Beautiful view, great potential
- Cons: High prices for mediocre food, poor service

Very good

Great local restaurant. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. The food was very good. I wouldn't call it 5 star, but for local cuisine, we thought it was excellent and the price wasn't unreasonable. We had:
She Crab soup - was very good, a little too much Old Bay
Crab Dip appetizer - came in a bread bowl, very good
Broiled shrimp - a little overdone, but still good
Crab Cakes - excellent, very little filler.
Key lime pie - great
Overall, we loved it, we would definitely go again. Compared to almost any good restaurant in NY, it would be mediocre, be we aren't in NY. For local eats, I'd say very good.
- Pros: good food, good view
- Cons: ambience and service could be better

Just okay on all points

Chesdin used to be our favorite place to go. The atmosphere WAS very intimate whether it was just my wife and me or even if we were dining with friends. Now, we miss the way it was. Not only is the food barely edible but the ambience we used to enjoy no longer exists. They keep the lighting so bright we feel like we're in a grocery store. The menu prices seem to have come down but so did the quality of the food and service. I hope it improves before going down further.
- Pros: Could be nice very easily
- Cons: Too bright, shaky service
