Worst thing about this place is the parking but that can't be helped with the space they have.

Great ambiance and there's a view of the Lake-even from the bar. Great casual service and the food is great- everything we've had is that rare kind of food that tastes even better than it sounds. Don't miss the drink menu-or the Blood and Sand! New owners have made a big impression, glad to see the place jumping again.

Locals and First timers on a Friday night. Wow, our friends were right-this place is a gem! Menu is straight forward, prices are appropriate but ...the food is amazing! Cozy atmosphere, friendly and personable staff. Go!

I had gotten The Lake House Chicken Sandwich. it was a big piece of chicken that was pretty crispy. It was really good and tasteful. (+1 Star) As for the fries they felt like they just came out the oil and was crispy as well. (+1 Star) The waiter was quick and was always around if you needed anything.(+1 Star) As for the seating, we sat in a booth which was very clean. The place has moody lighting which is kinda nice and calm. Overall I would come back to eat.

Food is very bland, not tasty. I've had the special salmon twice, different recipes. Last time it was floating in soy sauce ("ginger" salmon) with a bowl full of noodles. Husband had shrimp and sausage linguine one time which had 3 tiny shrimp, not much sausage--mostly linguine. Another time he had mahi-mahi and it had no flavor. Friend had the fish and chips, hoping for something fresh but it hardly ate anything as it was old and previously frozen. Repeatedly very disappointing--we wish the former owners were still running it!!

Not much to say. Came in one afternoon with a group of friends(myself, my fiancée, and one other couple.) The four of us spent over 70 dollars, my other half and I had only got one entree to split and a side, and the food was just fine. We didn't even order drinks. Not a bad experience, but for the price point I expected to be much more impressed. Unless you're a rich person who's there to drink on the lake, it's not worth it.

Had dinner there last night with a group of friends. First time being there since it was redesigned in 2022. The views are awesome and it was reasonable quiet for us to carry on our conversations. We ordered multiple items from the menu from appetizers, main courses, and desert. All were absolutely fantastic!! Food was prepared and served very well. Our server was spot on the whole night. She was engaging and very attentive, something we don’t see a lot of any more. I should have remembered her name, but unfortunately it escapes me. This is definitely a place to visit with a menu that will please most. My only concern is that it is, if not already, a place that many will come to enjoy!! It was thirty degrees out and we came early. The place was hopping when we left. None the less, it is now one of our regular night out spots. Reservations are a good idea. When summer or warm weather arrives it will be tough to get a seat inside or out! Go early and Enjoy!!

The service was efficient, but definitely not attentive or friendly. The food was under seasoned and over priced with the exception of the toffee cake which was delicious.

I am perplexed about the rating of this establishment. We booked this place after reading reviews and saw it was nearly five stars. The location is beautiful, the ambience is amazing, and our service was top notch. However, there is a discrepancy between the price point and quality of food. We ordered an appetizer to share (pierogis), two cups of clam chowder, and a half caesar salad, the fish and chips, mushroom and leek gnocchi, and the maple chicken sandwich. The food was very bland. All of the fried items tasted overly of oil. Perhaps this was an off night? I chose to bring my husband here for his birthday and I was so disappointed that he couldn't eat his dinner (fish and chips) because it tasted like nothing. If you're looking for a view and ambience above flavor and food quality this might be the place.
Cole is the best server and very attentive. We had the sea bass special for valentine's day and it was the best sea best we have had. We have enjoyed this restaurant a few times and find it to be the best for creativity and and the best dining experience. Keep up the great work.

Normally my husband and I have a great experience here. But we went on Mardi Gras night, the night before Valentine's when it was busy. My husband got burnt toast (like straight up charred black on one side), no seasoning on his gnocchi, and my mahi mahi was overcooked (had to actually cut it, it did not just flake apart with a fork). Took almost 10 minutes before anyone came to take our order also. On the plus side the live music was nice, lake views were great, the hush puppies were amazing as always, and the drinks were strong!

Me and my girlfriend went here over the weekend for our two year anniversary and Amanda Y provided great service, was friendly, and one of the best servers I’ve ever had. The food was great and one of the best dinners I’ve had in a while; the burger was cooked perfectly and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Me and my girlfriend don’t get many desserts when eating out but we both got one, I got the toffee cake and she got the raspberry cheesecake and they were amazing!

Come here quite often-staff and servers are always great-twin filets were very disappointing- have had before- they were more like sirloins and not good ones and over seasoned-wife's walleye was undercooked in spots-not a cheap venue-need to correct to keep our business
