2 Steak+Shrimp Dinners for $29.95, New Year's Eve

Happy New Year from LAKEVIEW

BYOB of Wine or Champagne, New Year's Eve with No Corkage Fee

Bring Your Own Bottle of Wine or Champagne to enjoy with your meal. There will be dinner specials to include various steaks and shrimp, beginning at 5:30 pm.

On New Year's Eve, LAKEVIEW is waiving the corkage fee* (Read the article below for more information about your wine).

If you have questions, please contact South Dakota Retailers Association at 800.658.5545.
Starting July 1 South Dakota restaurants can use the new ?corkage? law
3/16/2012 "A new law which allow South Dakota restaurants to better serve their customers goes into effect July 1 (Senate Bill 62).

At the urging of restaurant owners and SDRA, the 2012 South Dakota Legislature approved a law which says restaurants can let customers bring their own bottles of wine into the restaurant. The restaurant...charge[s] the customer a *corkage fee to open and serve the wine. The new law will also allow customers to take unfinished bottles of wine home with them.

This proposal is permissive, meaning that it permits - but doesn't require - restaurants to allow patrons to bring in wine, and to re-cork wine for customers to take with them.

This puts into law what had already been a common practice. Many restaurants had already been offering this service, unaware that it was illegal to do so in South Dakota.

To use the corkage law, restaurants must meet certain criteria, and follow specific steps:
• the restaurant must be licensed to sell wine on-sale
• the restaurant can permit a customer to bring a sealed and unopened bottle of wine onto the licensed premises
• the wine must be served with a meal prepared in the restaurant and served at a table in the restaurant
• the restaurant can charge a corkage fee for serving the wine that has been supplied by the customer. The amount of the fee is set by the restaurant; the law doesn’t set any minimum or maximum.
• if a customer wants to take out any remaining wine, the restaurant (not the customer) must re-cork the wine, either with the original cork or another cap.
• the restaurant must place the unfinished bottle in a sealed bag or other container.
• the restaurant must attach a receipt to the bag or container. The receipt must include both the meal and the corkage fee.
• similar guidelines apply when a customer purchases a bottle of wine from the restaurant and doesn’t finish it. The customer may be permitted to take the remainder of the bottle with them as long as the restaurant securely reseals the bottle with a cork or similar cap, places the bottle in a sealed bag or container, and attaches to the bag a receipt for the meal and the wine.

Pheasant numbers up, read all about it.

Last Picnic of the Summer?

Could it be that Labor Day weekend is here already? Traditionally, the last picnic of the summer, signifying an end of the summer; one last long weekend of fun. Maybe for you it signifies 'laboring', as you begin shutting down the lake house.

Whatever your focus this weekend, we at LAKEVIEW want to remind you that our broasted chicken goes well whether as a sit-down meal in our restaurant lakeviewresortlakepoinsett.com or as a TO GO quiet lunch, or as the main dish at a potluck feeding a hungry bunch just getting off the pontoon.  Purchase it as a dinner (with a choice of potato and soup or salad) or by the piece.  Call for the reasonable prices.

Some have asked about the name. It's not fried chicken, so what is broasting? Broasting combines a special marinating process with high pressure cooking and deep frying to increase the moisture in the chicken. The Broaster company boasts, "Not only does it taste better, but...fewer calories, less fat, lower carbs," and chicken breasts can have as much as 44% more moisture than other cooking methods. Finally they challenge, "You be the judge!"

We ask that you please plan ahead when placing your broasted chicken order.  Your chicken will always be fresh, not cooked ahead and kept warming.  But with fresh comes cooking time that must be taken into account whether ordering, 'in house' or calling ahead for an order 'to go'.

Enjoy these last days of summer and take time to squeeze in an old-fashioned picnic for an unforgettable memory of the summer of 2012.

Reflecting...

Reflecting back to one year ago…August 24, 2011, we re-opened the doors to the freshly renovated, Lake Poinsett’s LAKEVIEW after the flood that forced closing April 15, 2011.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your loyal support throughout this last year and the preceding thirteen years we’ve operated LAKEVIEW Resort at Lake Poinsett.  The crew at LAKEVIEW is here for you and we look forward to serving your needs in the future.

Talkin' about the Weather

Everybody's talking this week about the weather.  Nice rains followed by cooler temperatures.  Makes time spent outside so much more enjoyable.  When the temperatures rise so high its un-'bare'-able to be in the water, that's a sign it's just too HOT! Putting those days behind us, it's time to get moving again fixing up, trimming up, mowing and recreating at the lake.  Enjoy these precious days we have left of summer. At LAKEVIEW, we'll be looking out for you...

Recipe Search

Grilled Oriental Shark Steaks

Have you ever noticed on the left side of this blog page, the Recipe Search box? Well try it. Recently a friend shared Shark steaks with us. Having never cooked Shark (or in my case-eaten Shark).  So I tried it.  How cool! I typed in shark, clicked on 'Cook' and up pops all these ingredient options.  I picked mustard as one of the ingredients and was given choices of  Shark recipes with mustard listed. I picked 'Oriental Shark Steaks' and just followed the directions.  We put it in foil on the grill. And wella!!

Longing for Yesterday's Lazy Days of Summer?

Today, the official second day of summer, begs the question: does anybody ever have lazy days in summer, anymore? Crazy yes, lazy seldom. With reunions, weddings, and events every weekend squeezed in around fishing, swimming, camping, picnics, golfing, ball games, and vacations...Scheduling all this fun around a job and family obligations can make anyone feel crazy. Does all of this make you long just a little for a little of yesterday?

Well, this weekend, we at LAKEVIEW are proposing you enjoy our more quiet welcome to summer. A nice dinner (Saturday night Specials include: Prime Rib, Country-Style Pork Ribs, and Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, complemented by the salad bar) followed by a karaoke party without all the 'noise'. A step back to a simpler time when couples and singles met at the local night spot to relax, and visit while enjoying a delicious meal with adult beverages, followed by quality entertainment and music for dancing.

Bob's in the process of improving and updating his karaoke equipment and is ready to 'run the show' this Saturday night.  Leading off, a performer from our area will do a live Elvis tribute to set the mood for the evening. It will be fun for all. See you then!

Thank you, thank you very much.

Back to the Lake, a cute story

On a recent visit from Arizona, five-year-old, R.J., could not be convinced he was back in South Dakota.  Mom and Dad had told him and his little sister that they were taking an airplane to go visit Grandma and Poppy who had already been visiting Lake Poinsett since early summer. 

So thinking maybe it was because this trip he had flown here instead of the long drive they made last year, his family all tried to persuade him with proof.  Stubbornly he refused to believe them and continued to ask, "When are we going to South Dakota?"

During the second week of their two-week vacation, they all decided to come out to LAKEVIEW Resort for lunch.  As they pulled into the parking lot, from the backseat came a loud, excited, five-year-old voice, "Hurray, we found it!"  R.J. exclaimed with an accompanying sigh of relief, "Finally, we found it.  We found South Dakota!"

"Lets Have a Party!"

At LAKEVIEW, we're bubbling with celebrations this week  in May:  13th Year Anniversary for LAKEVIEW, 1st Wedding Anniversary for Cathy and Stan, Birthdays-- Bob, Terry, Dee and Friends Dick, Rick and Others.
So we said, "Let's Have a Party!" and invited BJ from Outlaw Karaoke and Entertainment to lead the music. Saturday Night, May 19th 9:30 - 1:00 at Lake Poinsett's LAKEVIEW.  Come join in the fun!

MISSION Accomplished!

Minnow swallowing Success: Bob, PJ and Judy raised over $1000 for the Belly Can Challenge.  Congratulations Participants and Thank you Contributors!

1980's Theme Party--BJ from OUTLAW Entertainment orchestrated the musical karaoke show and trivia contest. Sunglasses and 80's attire made the night extra special.

The Live Minnow Swallowing Fundraiser began at 10 pm. at LAKEVIEW. Participants swallowed minnows for a good cause. They had been collecting pledges to raise money for the handicapped accessible dock project on Lake Poinsett. Over $1000 was raised by the three brave participants!

PJ getting hers, eek!

Judy's ready for her minnow

Judy and Marvin wrote: “Linda and Bob, thanks for hosting such a fun event. We hope there will be more to come, well, maybe not eating a minnow. I'm hoping someone got a couple good pictures and they somehow can get in our area local newspapers. I just realized this morning that a handicap dock is not just for handicap folks but for anyone not fortune enough to have a dock to sit on and enjoy the view and water. Perhaps with more newspaper exposure we can get more groups to participate. If we can help in any way let us know. Here is a list of my donors:  Melissa and Matt Nofziger, Cael, Cade and Coby Nofziger, Sarah Nofziger, M. L. Nofziger, Donna and Mike Vardsveen, Korrie and Nick Wallin, Out of State Friends and Relatives”

Pj wrote: "Thanks so much to the crew at Lakeview for a fun, fun nite at the 80s Party and for hosting the handicap dock fundraiser. Can't believe I ate a live minnow!! Thanks to Craig Schoen, Bob Quigley, Lowell Richardson, Marv Nofziger, and Chris Fischer from the Lake Poinsett Area Development Assoc for over $300 in donations, and to Don Lappe, Norma Halvorsen, Jim and Vicki Pantzke, Daryl Lovre, Jim and Rena Martin, Sunflower Salon and Spa, Cheryl McClemans and Bob Anderson, and Terry Turner for supporting my Norwegian sushi meal. It was worth the $500 that went toward the over $1000 raised last nite! Way to go Lakeview!!"

80's Bob and Linda

Bob and I want to thank those donating almost $400 by challenging Bob in the minnow swallowing contest: Bob Mader, Rick Popkes, Theresa Hauschildt, Marv Nofzieger, Larry Langenfeld, Chuck, the Damn Brothers, Doug Sieck, Jeff MeGill, Terry Popkes, Kelly Johnson, Kevin Thomarassen, Bob Quigley, and Gary/Susan Fisher.

Local Artist, Susan Fisher

Thank you to everyone who got involved in the First Annual event, including the kids that went on the scavenger hunt and also those that helped to decorate LAKEVIEW with colored pictures of pelicans. Be sure to stop in and see their artwork displayed.

For more pictures, visit facebook.

This event was a fun opportunity to bring people together that share a common vision, enjoy a good time and love our lakes.  Thank you Deb Klebanoff for sharing the idea, Susan Fisher for the pelican artwork, Karen Brake for the party decor and to all three of you for your support and ideas while we brainstormed what we could accomplish this year! I wouldn't have done it without you and I hope you are looking forward to the next one! And to Jackie Baldwin and LPADA for getting behind us in promoting the idea, thank you.
