The Lake House Restaurant

I went to the lake house tonight for dinner , When I first walked in I was kindly greeted by the gentleman behind the bar he was very nice and welcoming and said the hostess would be right with me . The hostess lily was very sweet and seated me in the bar area which was completely fine with me . I already knew what I wanted when I first walked in .so I ordered a beer first , then I ordered the ribeye , when it came out it was cooked perfectly the way I ordered . Props to the cooks well done . I was very impressed with the quality of service from all the staff including lily she was my waitress as well . I will be back to enjoy the quality of the food and service. And will recommend it to all my friends and family. It's nice to have a good place to eat while staying away from home working ....thanks again for the wonderful service

Very unassuming from the outside but this is a classy restaurant with friendly and polite staff. Of course the food is spectacular. Definitely a higher end restaurant. For the 2 of us it was nearly $200 based on our food. We ordered a starter, 2 entrees, 1 glass of wine and the king crab legs add-on to 1 entree. It's a higher end restaurant which is reflected the exceptional staff and the higher prices. Would highly recommend the risotto starter and the scallop and prawn chimichurri entree. Food & drinks: Delicious food, regular to slightly smaller portion sizes. Noteworthy details: Lovely atmosphere indoors and has equally appealing outdoor seating, weather permitting.

So glad we decided to go to The Lake House for brunch last weekend. Their Lake House Eggs Benedict is a revelation. This is what a perfectly cooked and artfully crafted meal is supposed to be. 10 out of 10. No need for additional hot sauces, even though they bring them out for each table, everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, the spectacular coffee, the fine outdoor dining experience and the impeccable service. We’ll be back for sure!

The restaurant has creative and classy decor and design. The food is also good, and is pricey, but not unexpectedly so. The servers are pleasant and helpful. The not-so-good: there is a "Free Wifi" sign at the entrance. Unfortunately, when I asked for the password, it didn't work. A server offered to type it in, and also could not get it to work. We arrived hungry, and were told that there was a 10 minute wait, even though more than half of the tables were empty. I hoped for some bread and butter while we waited for our dinner. Nope, that's not part of the experience. On the bill, there was a "5% Surcharge" - what is that all about? Why not just adjust the menu prices to reflect the price of the meal, instead of a last-minute, unexplained "gotcha"? It's highly rated, a beautiful place, but the management really needs to work on the details.

Was looking for a new place to take my wife for a romantic dinner. The Lake House had great reviews and the menu looked perfect. Went on a Sat at 6pm. Not crowded but also not empty. The decor is really elegant but rustic. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. We were sat inside but there is a large outdoor area too. Started with the Calamari appetizer. Delicious and cooked perfectly. This is a dish my wife and I try at every restaurant and the Lake House version ranks at the top. My wife ordered the shrimp and scallops dish. Scallops are her favorite and she has high standards. They were exceeded. I think she said they were the best she's ever had. I ordered the special which was fish with salsa verde. It was a dish I'm not generally going to order but I thought why not try something different. It was amazing. The fish was perfectly seared and the sauce fantastic. Glad I ordered it. For dessert we did the lemon cheesecake. Wonderful as well. One note is they only have beer and wine. Not a full bar if that is something you are looking for. Our server was friendly and regularly checked in with us. We really appreciated this. 100% recommended.

Food is excellent quality and taste.. Menu small... Atmosphere on the outside deck was really nice. Service a bit slow... Giving 3 stars do to a 5% surcharge fee that was not disclosed or explained... Very expensive meal and extra charges... If you don't mind paying the high prices and surcharges... The food is excellent!

Great location. The menu was good. The staff seemed confused. Our main course took 1 hour and 45 minutes to be served. It arrived cold. No checkin from waiters. The restaurant was not busy. Not sure what went wrong. Leftovers were great after heating in microwave. So much better served hot!

Everything in Lake Tahoe feels very… touristy. Not this place. It was a quant restaurant close to all the good stuff in South Lake Tahoe, but away from the touristy vibe the town can have. Their service was exceptional. Our waitress, Adonica, was so friendly and had great recommendations when it came to the menu. The food portions were perfect and everything tasted great! Get their ceviche, lobster chowder, and lamb chops. Amazing!

This place is absolutely wonderful, on every level. We came here spontaneously while on our honeymoon and we were talking about it for the rest of our trip! The duck is incredible, and the filet mignon melts in your mouth. The crab dip is amazing and our server, Clay, was such a joy to talk to! We came a bit later in the evening and felt that we had to rush through our meal so that we weren't holding up the employees, but Clay told us to take our time and enjoy the experience to the fullest. He was so kind and made some great wine suggestions to go with dinner! Dessert was also such a delicious experience. We ordered the cheesecake and the brownie, and both were out of this world. We will be back as soon as possible!!! Thank you Lake House for making our honeymoon even more awesome!!

I will never give this place my business ever. Two strikes they're out. I was turned away at the door once saying that they did not have any tables available when the restaurant was only a quarter full. By the look of a hostess gave us and another staff member, I'm guessing it may have been the way we were dressed. Then I tried to make a reservation for a nice meal out and they said their company policy was not to allow any children under the age of eight. That is absolutely absurd. What else is on their list to discriminate?
