"The young folks who have taken over Scenic
View Restaurant have done an awesome job! The
food is as great as the View of the lake while
you eat! You should try it if you haven't yet!"
"The food was great. Service was great. It is so
awesome to sit outside and stare at the lake. It
was like we were on vacation. Peaceful atmosphere
and good menu selections. I want to make The View
our Sunday hang-out and bring all our friends."
"I went [to The View] in March after one of those
annoying where-do-you-want to-eat discussions.
For Bloomington standards, this place is "Woohoo!
As good as it gets!". I had the smoked salmon
linguine-$14. and my dining partner sampled the
fish tacos-$9, plus we split an appetizer of
calamari. I know, I know, "fish in Indiana?, ew!"
but regardless the fish was really dang good. We
have also patronized this place for the weekend
brunch. I had the Peaches with Rum sauce Crepe Du
Jour with a mimosa which was amazing. Great bacon
too. Prices were very fair for the quality of the
food and portion size."
"A friend and I decided to drive out to "The
View" this past Saturday and we were pleasantly
surprised. Apparently this place is very new and
you can tell because everything is sparkling
clean."
"A jazz band of rather hot dudes was playing for
a portion of the evening. The music wasn't too
loud though, so you could comfortably talk.
Overall, we had a great evening and look forward
to returning."
"The outdoor seating area is fabulous, as per
their name. You have a nice view of Lake Monroe
with plenty of space to spread out. Dogs seemed
to be welcome in the outdoor area as well."
