   Beautiful dining room with great food and personable staff. The chef came to our table to answer questions about the ingredients—a special touch!

   We had a fantastic dinner for Valentines Day! The food, service and ambience were great. Such a lovely part of NCSU Centennial campus.

   This was our first time at Lakeside Kitchen and it won’t be our last! I found their offering as part of Triangle Restaurant Week 2025 and we are so glad we tried it. I ordered a delicious meal from the Restaurant Week menu and my husband ordered from the regular menu. The service from Luke was excellent and the staff clearly pays attention to detail and the overall ambiance of this comfortable restaurant. The winter view of Lake Raleigh from the windows was lovely. I would highly recommend Lakeside Kitchen. It is truly a special experience.

   Staff was not busy and very attentive. Chef accommodated us. Food was excellent A little pricey for every day lunch, but excellent for business lunch or special occasion. I plan to return.

   As the owner of Lakeside Kitchen, I and my guests were super surprised to see and taste the new options available at Lakeside Kitchen. Chef Rob and his team have really brought the menu offerings forward and they are as delicious as they are eye appealing. The ability to converse for a luncheon meeting makes it a cue place for forward thinking business professionals. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

   Love this restaurant! Outstanding service, lovely atmosphere, and very good food. Brought a group of 8 and we could hear everyone clearly. That is a big plus for me.

   I was taken to your wonderful place for Mother's Day. It was incredible. I am a member of monthly lunch group, and I was excited to bring them over when it was my turn. Our reservation was for 12:15. We were the last person to leave at approximately 02:50? There were six of us. Five of us got salmon (which was outstanding) and only four came. We were finished eating when the fifth person was served her lunch. We ordered desert, mostly ice cream. It took so long to get the dessert two of our people had to leave taking the ice cream with them. Then the waitress took our credit cards one at a time to ring them up. Our late luncher was told she would get 10% off her bill. I asked to speak to manager but was told no one there had the authority to speak with. I then went to the receptionist and told her I needed to speak with someone. A very nice young man came out and told us manager was gone and he couldn't do anything. Meanwhile, we still haven't paid our bills. Some of the receipts had large party charge, some did not. The lady was finally given a gift card, which she said she would never use because she was never coming back. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting. The food is exceptional. I am a business owner myself and I understand problems. What I don't understand is the lack of attention given to our complaints. Too really succeed, the negative is more important than the positive, so you know what you have to work on. Sorry if I am ranting, but I was SO EXCITED to have my buds experience a WOW day but it turned out badly. Thanks for listening!

    My husband and I very much enjoyed the Mother's Day brunch! We both had the salmon and salad. We shared a piece of chocolate torte and key lime pie, along with a scope of Howling Cow ice cream. All were delicious!
