About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
Since 2006, The LakeHouse restaurant has been the jewel of Bay Shore, NY. In the summer of 2016, owners Eileen & Matthew Connors and Jay Gut moved locations to a brand new dockside treasure. With stunning views and multiple fireplaces, comfortable seating for 100+ guests, two lounge areas, deck overlooking the Great South Bay, and both an indoor tavern room and a waterfront bar, The Lakehouse is touted by many as “one of the best restaurants on Long Island.” At night, the deck is illuminated, as is the waterfront lounge area where guests can congregate for after-dinner cocktails. This New American fine dining experience is not to be missed. The Lakehouse can now be reached by boat as well, as guest dockage is available at the new gorgeous bayside locale.
*Please note that we not take reservations for particular tables & we cannot promise a particular area or table.

    Found the restaurant quite expensive for what we ate last evening. Couldn’t even find a wine for less than $70. Not rushing back anytime soon.

    Dear Lisa, We are sorry to hear you had anything less than a stellar experience at our restaurant. After searching our reservation history, I have not have been able to find any record of your visit. So, I've been unable to reach out to you. If you could please give me a call at the restaurant, and leave a message, I would like to address the situation. Sincerely, Eileen Connors, owner of The LakeHouse
