At the Lake House, we’re short on formalities and big on making you feel comfortable. Stop by for an easy lunch on the deck with blue skies and a cool breeze. Linger over a romantic dinner and drinks in the warm glow of our fireplace. Enjoy the view of a snow-covered lake. Whether you’re with your boss or your best friend, you’re going to have a wonderful time, every time, at the Lake House. Around here, people love the water. When you take a look at the Lake House, this becomes abundantly clear (our location on the marina is no accident). Naturally, we have gorgeous views of the lake. And when the weather is good and enticing, we have an ample bar and deck outside where you can enjoy the breeze - and shoot the breeze with an al fresco lunch or dinner. We’ve even built this attitude into our bar: while it starts out inside, it ends up outside closer to the water. Come see for yourself.

Food, service, and atmosphere was great. We had the street corn appetizer, and then the seafood sandwich, a fish and chips basket, and two of the mushroom smash burgers! All were delicious. We finished with a slice of carrot cake to share. (The cake portion was a little small for the price, but VERY good!)

The food and service was nice. We would return again. It was loud due to a unhappy little toddler, but that wasn't the fault of the restaurant. You couldn't hear the conversation between us at our table, which was disappointing, because of the little child...
