My daughter was traveling with her dog so we needed outdoor dining. Food was good and beer was cold. Could use a furniture update in outdoor area. Inside is really nice, outdoor not so much (but great view). Pricing was as expected for area. Definitely a spot to experience. After lunch we went on a nice walk. Great trail system, both dog and bike friendly.

I only had a beer and didn't try their food. They place is nice and staff very friendly. It would be a nice place for a stroll at Como and then cap the night with some beverage and or food. That is definitely in my plan.

I ordered the fish & chips this evening, for $16. That was a disappointment. There were three small, about 3 inch, pieces of fish each just slightly bigger than my finger. They were not battered but appeared to be breaded, and their dark color suggested that they left in the fryer too long. The chips were about 10 small wedge cut potato pieces. It all came with a small portion of tartar, and a pack of ketchup. Not very tasty, and definitely not worth $16.After the fish & chips I was still hungry. I had to be at the location for a community band performance, so I ordered the Cobb salad ($13). It was better than the fish and chips.The next time we visit Como Park I'll be bringing my own food. I can cook a lot better than those kids at Dock and Paddle.

I have eaten here before and have had a good experience. Ordered fish and chips today for lunch. I looked over the smallish basket and what stood out were the French fries. So many that I couldn’t figure out where the fish were as the fries were cut rather large. I noticed some ridges on two (only 2) pieces. One piece was pretty skinny about the size of the fries.That piece was dry as cardboard. After the first bite, I should have sent it back to the kitchen.The other piece was slightly better, a little wider. But for the price ~ $13, I should have gotten more fish AND fish that was similar in size and cooked the same amount of time. Very disappointed!

Superb setting on Como Lake next to the historic pavilion with seating inside, in back next to the little waterfall, or within the pavilion itself. I had the excellent fish taco and Muscato. Everything on the menu I’ve had had been of the highest quality although there is nothing on the menu one eats with cutlery. No desserts either as there’s a terrific little ice cream shop just below next to the beach. Special thanks to Alice for her assistance.

We were not impressed with our fish and chips. They tasted of old grease. The fish tacos were short on the fish. Tasted mostly of cabbage. We really like the idea of eating at the Pavillion after a walk. Might give it a second try. Not sure

Service was exceptionally friendly and nice! Outstanding ambience! Went on a late Sunday morning and vibes were immaculate.✨Low and slow music, lots of sunshine streaming through and a lakeside view. The menu is great! I got the nachos, beef slider and a coffee. All exceeded expectations and my experience here amounted to a super start to the day. I recommend stopping here if you’re on a walk in the area. You won’t be disappointed!

This was a fantastic time. I wish they had a better tap list... And I've never seen a fake tap set up before! That was wild. Food was great. The kids LOVED playing on the stage too.

The Cobb Salad was a beautiful dish, and it tasted wonderful. Great restaurant for reconnecting with a friend to eat and talk, which is what I did. Our waitress was nice. Really good experience.

Lovely place for a pitstop during your Sunday walk in Como lake park. Very good atmosphere, quick service, beautiful location.
