    First time there for Valentine’s Day and the food was good. Over priced jumbo crab cakes. They was basically two crab cakes smushed together. Still very delicious. The key lime cheese cake is better as either cheesecake or key lime but together is not a great mix.

    The customer service was excellent. The server is attentive. The food is good. Very clean ingredients. Easy on the stomach. The apple strudel is excellent. Not too sweet. I am from out of town. I was quite satisfied.

    Had a wonderful lunch with friends on Friday. Our server Angel (I think it was his name) was very nice and patient as we were catching up after many years so we took our time. Nice selection of meals to choose from. The food was delicious and served exactly as we requested. I made sure his tip was elevated as we sat for a longer time. If the restaurant had been packed we would never had stayed so long.

    This restaurant was recommended by friends. Saturday night and no wait. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered French Onion soup prior to have prior to my main, which was a prime rib sandwich. The soup order was not put in when ordered so it arrived late. Management took it off the bill, which was nice, and left it for me anyway. However, it was cold and the cheese gummy, not properly melted. If I had to pay for it I would have returned it. I had asked for well done crispy fries. What I got were warmed over soggy fries that were limp. I would not refer this restaurant to friends.

    I requested a booth in the main dining room. When we arrived I was told there was a private event scheduled for that room. We were directed to a side room. (1) should have been notified when I made the reservation that the room wasn’t available (2) Didn’t notice any private event. The food was very good as usual and our server was very good and friendly.

    We've visited the Bungalow Lakehouse more times than I can count, but this was our first what I would call formal sit down. Kelly took amazing care, the menu was robust and the prices were very moderate. The food was excellent. This is a multi-modal establishment having a huge sports bar area, a cigar bar area, an inside intimate bar area, and a formal sit down restaurant. I was very impressed.
