I LOVE THE LAKE HOUSE!!!! The food is wonderful! You can ALWAYS count on having a great meal! Sure, there's other restaurants in the area but the Lake House is preferred all the time by myself, friends and family when we want to go out and eat. The inside of the restaurant is warm and inviting while the humongous deck outside overlooking clement Park, the water and the mountains is breathtaking. They have heaters on the deck when called for and umbrellas if the table is in the sun. They will take care of you! The wait staff is phenomenal on their game! The teamwork between them, food runners, host/hostesses, management and cooks really sets this restaurant apart from all! BRAVO LAKE HOUSE! If I could give a 10 star I would!

We were recommended this place and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We were told the chicken was good, and people with us enjoyed the chicken. Everything was good, but I left hoping for better for the prices. Service was slower, but friendly. It was winter, so we didn't check out the patio next to the small lake, but it looks like it would be nice in the Summer.

We sat on the patio and it felt like we were on a lakeside out east. The food was great. We had the Mushroom soup, Cobb salad topped with tender steak slices, and the fried chicken. Finished with vanilla ice cream with Chocolate Grenache and a Cappuccino. The food had a homemade touch. We would come back anytime and highly recommend.

I had a walled Eye Fish and chips. It was fresh and cooked well with balanced flavours. The restaurant overlooks the lake and outdoor seating is a must on good sunny days. I will definitely come back and highly recommended!

I had never been here before and had never heard anything about this restaurant, I came in on a busy Thursday night. I sat immediately at the bar and I was greeted instantly and given a water and asked for a drink order. I ordered a martini and it was very good. I had the mushroom soup and the buffalo chicken salad. All of my food was amazing the soup especially! The staff was nice and prompt and after another gentleman asked how my experience was. The view here of the lake is really nice. I will be back

Great food and view! My burger was delicious and the green chili Mac and cheese was very tasty. The view is great for the area. Kid menu has good choices. Kid friendly and the patio area is huge. Both coved and not covered. Packing was also good with plenty of parking. Worth checking out for yourself.

The food was good, but the service was better. I really appreciated Greg for the top tier humor and pleasantness that he brought to the experience of dining here. I had the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwhich as well as the Venga beer.
