What a pretty restaurant to go to for lunch or brunch.. The view is so pretty. I didn't expect food to be great but 9 out of the 10 of us LOVED our meal. I had the Bronzino and it was delic. Few ppl shared so the kitchen split the dishes for us which was so helpful. They were also generous portions. Waiters were so nice and so patient. It was a great experience.

Came Saturday to celebrate my birthday made 6pm reservations and were sat immediately. Unfortunately the service was rushed despite there being plenty of empty seats. we we're still enjoying our appetizer when we we're asked if we we're done and attempted to take our plate. I literally had to tell the server we were on a date night and had a sitter, hinting we were not in a rush but that did not change the service.

Food price / quality (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is contemporary minimalist, with shorefront views of Lake Mahopac. We sat outside on the dock. I had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken cutlet with roasted Brussels sprouts and mixed veggies. The wife had the sea scallops. Both were very good, prepared and presented nicely. The meal came with home made bread but no salad. They had a very limited beer menu, with no draught choices The prices were high, but not ridiculous. If a small salad had been included, that would have bumped the value rating up a point. Service was good.

Went to Lakehouse with a party of 4 and was a totally enjoyable experience with the only exception being they will only serve cocktails they have on the menu. The branzino, filet of sole, chicken martini, paella were all delicious! The clam chowder, crab cake, chicken dumplings, and calamari were very good but I would prefer an aioli with the calamari instead of the commonplace marinara. The wait staff were attentive and apologetic for inability to serve the drink I preferred but that was the only primary negative of the evening. The ‘housemade’ desserts may be skipped on next visit since not great, more mediocre.

Great spot, I had the lobster ravioli which was delicious. Went again and had the scallop risotto, it was perfect. My friend had eggplant rollatini which was one of the best iPad in a while.

Great location with great lake view. Went for dinner, 2 couples. Wanted to give it a chance despite seeing steep prices on the menu ahead of the visit. The service was great and friendly. It helped that we were the only guests besides a group birthday event in the next room. The spicy diavolo seafood pasta was fine. The salmon, too, but I was a bit overcooked, and I wasn't asked how well I wanted it done. The risotto didn't earn any praise at all. Definitely stay away from this pseudo paella, with soaky wet rice instead of the dry paella rice. The quality of the food was below expectations based on high prices. Hence, if you want to go for the views and atmosphere and don't mind to overpay for food that is not up to pricing level, you may want to go for dinner here.

Great atmosphere inside and Lakeside, nice & attentive staff. Food is good but not equal to the price you will pay, (You can get the same Entree's & App's at a few pubs in the area for more than 1/2 the price, save some money, come back and have drinks Lakeside!

Lovely shore side open air atmosphere. Clean modern decor.Parking: Limited number of spots, but saw a valet parking sign. Parking looked far inadequate for number of tables.

Went there for the first time tonight with a friend. Wish I hadn't. Its really super overpriced. It's right on the lake, and that is the big attraction, but that gets old quickly when the music inside there is blaring, the food is lousy and expensive to boot. Service was also horrible. All we ordered were 2 dinner salads, yet they got that wrong. The salad dressing was missing from my friend's Arugula salad, and the goat cheese was missing from mine. When we asked them for the goat cheese, they came back with more salad dressing. Hahaha... stay away and save your money. By the way, each salad came with about $1 worth of dry, tasteless Arugula, $1 worth of goat cheese, and 25 cents worth of shaved almonds - and charged us $19 per salad.

Epic fail for a very overpriced menu. Most of the meals were brought out wrong. Steaks were very over cooked. We asked for the steaks med with nothing one them and they brought them out twice well done and smothered in sauce. The scallop Risotto was just tasteless. The chicken Milanese was hard & dry. We left hungry. It's too bad since the view is wonderful. Waitress tried but the runners don't even known what they are serving and can't answer you. We won't be back.

Dined at the Lake house for the first time on a Tuesday night for my mother's birthday and we will return! The restaurant's ambiance & view of the lake was beautiful and set the mood for an amazing evening. **Appetizers included calamari(10/10)shrimp cocktail(6/10), baked clams(7/10)& eggplant(20/10)Filet of sole(Liked it but wouldnt order it again, it was well seasoned but extremely lemony)Short Rib( amazing, very tender and juicy and great portion, mash potatoes were very thin, they sadly tasted like instant potatoes & the broccoli rabe was not well thought about while being cooked but the short ribs made everything else better)Salmon(wonderfully prepared would definitely order again if I can substitute the side because the rice was not working)Sirloin steak( would have been excellent if it wasnt covered in sauce)The desserts creme brulee & tiramusu were sooo good, perfect way to end a great night.Thank you Lakehouse for hosting a special night for my mom, definitely recommend.

I went with my cousins from South Jersey who asked me to pick a nice restaurant on the water with a beautiful view. The food and service was excellent and we shall be back.

5 stars for atmosphere at this pleasantly scenic lake front spot. The food was tasty and good but not anything to get excited about. The service was inconsistent and mediocre. If a table busser is asked a question they don't know the answer to, they should get the server. I see a pattern with restaurants that have a view, they often lack other components to match the excitement of the view. View is just not enough. Mussels were tasty, Caesar salad good yet uncreative, crab cake tasty too but was a little lackluster. All in all Lake House has the potential to be 5 star.
