What a gorgeous end-of-summer night we had at the Lake House Pub and Grill. The hostess sat us on the outdoor deck, and we got to watch a spectacular sunset during dinner. I have two teenage boys with very different palates. My youngest ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with nothing on it (chicken and bun only, with fries) and was delighted with his dish (a rare experience with a picky eater). He said the chicken was perfect, and the fries were “huge,” and possibly the best he ever had. My older son was more adventurous. He ordered the “ahoy nachos” (basically sashimi tuna with seaweed salad on fried wonton “chips.”) it looked exquisite, and he loved it. He even allowed me to try one, and it was a delicious concoction. He also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, a hearty dish of cavatappi pasta with a generous portion of lobster meat in a creamy cheese sauce. Two thumbs up. I ordered eggplant fries (mmm…) and a honey/soy Thai inspired swordfish dish from the specials menu. The fish was cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy, with a nice char on the outside and a yummy sauce. It came on top of rice noodles with edamame, peppers and snap peas. The veggies were nice and crisp. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night, weather-wise, or a more beautiful location. Also, all of the staff was absolutely lovely, friendly, professional, and seemed to be having a good time. They work as a team. Bravo! We will be back.

We were very excited to visit the Lake House. Due to iffy weather there was no outside seating but we did sit right on the window and the view didn’t disappoint! The service was good. On point early but slowed as the evening went. Some food was awesome and other items not so much. Expected all to be great at the price points. Highlights were the scallops topped with bacon. Perhaps the best I’ve ever had! The flourless chocolate torte was outstanding as well and the carrots served on the side of the entree were amazing. However the fingerling potatoes were overly salty and the hanger steak just okay. Chimichurri was way too spicy and I like spicy food! Loved the location and the view can’t be beat!

Made the drive from Manchester- 50 minutes for the lakeside sunset. Difficult to believe that this is part of the same restaurant group as Barrows and Dorset Inn etc. The service was very good but the overall quality of the food was very below average and the prices are quite high given the lousy quality. Super bummed we spent this much $$ tonight. We had terrible fish and chips, a steak that was first undercooked and then cooked fine but lacking in flavor, shrimp taco that had a total of 4 medium shrimp Between the two tacos for $28.00.. seriously. Even the chicken wings were so so but the calamari was at least decent. Hate to give a bad review for such a beautiful spot with such a nice staff.

food was absolutely delicious. Service was a little slow, but we understand short staff and outside was pretty busy. We had a great time.

It's hard to really mess up shrimp tacos...but sadly this meal was dismal. A shame in a lovely lakeside setting on a perfect day.
