The Lake House in Calgary

Overall not a good value for your money. I ve had better steak at other restaurants. A bit disappointed.

We were here for a Christmas party and our server Selena 12/10 elevated our entire experience with her warm, inviting & attentive service. Ive been to many christmas parties where the servers and service are almost robotic in nature, but Selena was full of life, confidence & could tell she thoroughly wanted her guests to enjoy their experience. Will definitely be back and request Selena as our server again! Ps. Give this woman a raise!!!!!!

Beautiful place with wonderful staff, fantastic food and drink. I highly recommend the elk and the non alcoholic spicy pineapple margarita. They were willing to accommodate our staff Christmas party even with us not being a large group. The downside was the very noisy group behind us made the restaurant sound more like Earls. This was no way not the restaurants fault.

I joined a few events here and overall enjoyed the environment, view, and food.

Awesome evening out.... A must visit! Food

Was here for a wedding and the food and atmosphere was amazing!!!

We went to Lake House for our 47th Anniversary! The food was amazing for taste and preparation. We ordered the Elk and Ribeye and both were cooked to perfection and tasty. Our server Frank did a great job. Made the evening that much more enjoyable as he was attentive but didn t rush us at all! Would highly recommend this fine dining restaurant!

My cousins took me to the Lake House for my birthday lunch. The restaurant is lovely and the service and food were exemplary. I had the mussels and frites with saffron, tomato, leek and chorizo broth and they were the best mussels I have ever eaten. It was a wonderful meal. Highly recommend!

Great spot. Highly recommend.

I had not been for years and it was beautiful. Our food and service was very good. The sun was setting over the lake which made it beautiful.

Great Alberta cabin feel to host events at. Their dining rooms ambience is calm and relaxing. Highly recommend for a home away from home on the lake experience.

night at the lake house had bro like this

It was my first time. Very nice impression.

We had a business meeting here in a private section of the dining room. My server was exceptional and the food was great. As a celiac I often find group dinners like this disappointing as it feels like no effort is made to season or accommodate my dietary needs. This was not the case here! Really nice experience. Such a pretty view as well.

Excellent customer service and the dishes are exquisite!

Food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. View of the lake and the atmosphere was warm,cozy, and beautiful. We went for an anniversary dinner and it was a great experience

My nephew and his bride were married there and it was the most amazing venue Ive been to. The food was out of this world. The staff were attentive and amazing. Great wedding Derek and Angela Green. Loved every minute of it. Thank-you all..

We recently had our wedding at the Lakehouse and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Kirsten was amazing to deal with throughout the planning process. She was organized, efficient, and everything was always communicated clearly. The venue was so beautiful and the food and drinks were amazing. All the staff working on our wedding day and during our trial supper were awesome; so helpful, attentive, and efficient. We were so happy we chose the Lakehouse as our venue for our wedding, our day was absolutely perfect. We wish we could do it all over again!

We love the Lake House. Its one of our favourite restaurants for special occasions. The food is always incredible

Dietary restrictions: Very transparent about how food is prepared for a celiac restriction. We had a great experience! Food

Great food accompanied by great service. I went here last night with a large party to celebrate a birthday and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best night. I has the Ribeye that was cooked perfectly to my liking and we all had a phenomenal time. Thank you for everything, hope to be back soon. My wife is a vegetarian and they only had one meal for her to choose from, hopefully they expand the menu a little further for her in the future.

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Lake House and had a perfect experience. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and very well laid-out for a wedding. Kirsten did an outstanding job in helping us prepare - she was detailed, thorough, and professional, and helped make the stress of wedding planning so much easier. On the night, the staff did a great job - professional, friendly, and highly attentive. I was particularly impressed with the manager on duty that evening. The food in particular was excellent - from the canapes to the late night poutine bar, everything was delicious. Most importantly, every step in the ceremony and dinner went off without a hitch. We would recommend The Lake House to anyone looking for a wedding (or any other event) venue.

Frank, my server, shared a story with me: part of his family is from Italy (like me), but he said never visited, as he feared that he would never go back if he went. My response was that, regarding Canada, my fear was the same. And this restaurant would be a great reason to stay. Beef and bison, characteristic of Alberta (as Ive been told), were amazing. My eTa is valid for another couple of years, so who knows what will happen, but if I do come back to Calgary, another meal here will definitely be on my to do list.

The food tasted amazing. The price was well worth it and it was nice to sit beside a window by the lake. The bread was delicious, escpeically the olive bread. The wild boar meat was superb. UPDATE: Food is still as great as it was a few years ago. Service is amazing. Other places should be ashamed to ask for tip when they dont even offer 10% of service offered in the lake house. Loved the service and food so much ended up booking the venue for the wedding! Was great and they were super helpful in helping make the day go by well.

Outstanding! Stunning food, beautiful view, and excellent service. Thank you Aimee.

Best waiter in town Daresy he treat us like a king and queen The atmosphere, food and customer service is amazing Food

We went to a wedding here and the whole experience was phenomenal.

I havent been there in years. Was there for a wedding, the food was fantastic. The service great. The atmosphere is awsome with the lake front view!

I gave it a three star for atmosphere because the tables were sticky and the corner we sat in smelt gross. Yes gross. The restaurant really needs a vinegar cleaning. Old wood needs maintenance and this restaurant which is decked in fabulous wood is no exception. I ordered the ribeye for $53 assuming it would be of high standard. The steak was cooked great to my liking and I ate it all. But the plate was not of high standard. The mushrooms were over cooked and the deep fried sides were disappointing. Because of this and the smell I will not return. However, the service was excellent and if you re not as fussy as me you will probably enjoy yourself.

10/10 experience! Big thanks to Kevin and Aime. Aime provided exceptional service throughout our entire meal. Beautiful view of the lake. You can t go wrong with anything on the menu, but our personal favourite were the duck entree and peanut butter bar dessert.

Excellent establishment! Food was well prepared and cooked to perfection, staff went out of their way to provide us with a great experience! Atmosphere is excellent, with a fantastic view of the lake right outside the restaurant! Will definitely be back!

Great venue in a picturesque location. The food was very good overall with particularly excellent cocktails. The crabcakes were also excellent. My only real issue was with the steak. It was under seasoned for my taste, but the accompanying sauces mostly made up for this. What was really hard to understand was the inclusion of two onion rings, rather than any vegetables or salad. Just two regular old onion rings backing up a beautiful rib eye and pommes frites. They brought nothing to the dish and I would have much preferred any kind of vegetable. Overall I was still quite pleased and they did have some of the best cheesecake Ive ever had, so still happy to recommend.

Visited this restaurant during my vocation. When the waiter send the meal to us, I realised that my plate was wrong. They offer to replace for me, and their chief and waiter keeps apologising to me. And when my food finally arrived, their boss told me that the plate is on the house. They made my evening a wonderful one. What a great service, thank you.

Booked dinner reservations for a friend s birthday about 2 weeks ago and we saw the people one table in front of us had just left and it had a better view of the lake (for our pictures) and asked our server if we could move there in which she was responded that it was their rush hour (only half full as it was after 7pm) and said she would check and came back 5 minutes later to say she couldn t move us because the next guests were arriving soon and was quite rude and snarky with us. 10 minutes later these guests arrived and the manager came over to say that they couldn t reserve specific tables in which we understand but didn t see the point of not being able to move us (a table of 3) when we requested and seat the couple that came after at our clean table that we just sat down in since they couldn t reserve specific tables for guests. The manager was able to move us to a corner window after we waited about 10/15 minutes as he knew we were unhappy. He got an A for effort for rectifying the situation but the service is very mediocre compared to Chairsman, Hy Steakhouse, Flores & Pine, Teatro, Vintage Chophouse and etc. We ordered Salmon and it was good but they have a very limited menu. I have been here many many times and the reason we went on hiatus for abit was the awful or should I say lack of service we had a few years ago on every single occasion with various servers and this recent experience confirmed why we stopped coming frequently. No one wants to pay for fine dining and have servers who are irritated, short, rude and think your nuisance because you asked to be moved one table over because it was empty. Food has to be good but service is everything. They need to train or hire more personable, friendly servers. I can t speak for every server there and don t remember the name of the one who served us this day but she has dark hair and we were seated on the left side of the restaurant. Beautiful location just wished the service reflected the fine dining they want to portray here.

Had a good meal. Bison chop was excellent. Rib eye was pretty good. It was our Anniversary...they bought us a couple glasses of Prosecco, but after wed finished our meal. We had wine with the meal. So the Prosecco was wasted. Wine should have been offered before meal. Price was way too high for the appetizer...$25 for 2 small crab cakes. Virtually all mains were $50. Guess we are old .... and remember when you could have a great meal, with wine, for around $100. Not $200.

Nice location, great service and good food.

We tried this place for the first time and it was an amazing experience! The food was authentic, service was impeccable and the view is breathtaking! Only the desserts can be improved.

Always a great time at the lake house!

Excellent dinner! The smoked fish platter, and the salmon were fantastic. Will be back!

Name name

5 Stars!

An amazing Experience!!!

Amie and staff made the dining experience truly unforgettable!

We chose this restaurant for its lake and sunset views. Unfortunately, the window covers were down, blocking the view. When we asked if they could open our window, they declined, citing it would disturb other guests. They only opened the windows after sunset, which was disappointing. The food was great though and they have special dishes in their menu like wild boar and bison . However I believe the main attraction of this restaurant is its view, which we couldnt enjoy during our visit.

We had lunch at The Lake House for the first time and were very impressed. The host sat us at a perfect table by the window with a beautiful view. Service was prompt, efficient, professional, and it was her first day as a server. It was a pleasure to have service like this, as it is what we find lacking in Calgarys restaurant scene. Thanks Brook, we had a very enjoyable lunch and also thank you to the Chef and his staff, as the meal was delicious! A restaurant that knows what they are doing.

Great food, but the service is lights out, outstanding. Our server was on top of everything. He did an amazing job. The setting is elegant and pretty. The food is quite exceptional. But its nice to see this type of service still exists. I will go back again and again.

Was treated here for an anniversary dinner. First time being here. Everything was great. Service was awesome and the food was matching the service. Nice views out the window as well.

The Lakehouse is a classic establishment thats been here for as long as I can remember and theyve managed to maintain the quality the entire time. The food is really good, without a pretentious atmosphere. Service has always been excellent as well. Recommend checking it out.

The Cod was the best ever. I am going back for more.

Amazing venue with a beautiful view like something out of a movie. I photographed a wedding here in May and it was incredible-the staff were so incredibly friendly and hardworking too. Everyone was so polite and the bride was so happy. I highly recommend this venue and staff for your next event or dinner out

Came here for a wedding, and everything was amazing. 100 people and the food was on point, and the drinks were never empty. Excellent.

My husband and I just had our wedding here this past weekend and I don t know where to begin with just how perfect everything has been from start to finish. First off, Kirsten is by far one of the best coordinators I have ever worked with. She is prompt with her responses, professional, and very kind and accommodating. The service we have received from the staff from casual dinning experiences, our tasting, to the day of our wedding was spectacular. Every single guest at our wedding was blown away by the food and atmosphere. Neither my husband nor I have a single critique to give because we have never been disappointed with The Lake House. Thank you for hosting the most wonderful day and experience of our lives! We look forward to celebrating our anniversaries with you!

Great place for our business meeting. Thanks again for the great service and food! Food

Attended a private event here, AMAZING! The staff, the food, the drinks, the venue, just wonderful. Would recommend 100% Food

My wife and I had wanted to try the Lake House for a while, we finally decided to go last week and we were not disappointed. We had 3 cocktails, daily soup, lamb rack, ribeye steak and a dessert. Love the steak, ordered medium rare and it s cooked just right. Personally I am not a lamb person, my wife made me tried a piece and I actually really like it. Cocktails and desserts are amazing too! Oh did I mention the lake view and great service from our server? Would definitely come again!

Highly recommend for the experience. This is not normally what I would opt for on a regular day but as I was celebrating my birthday I decided to go a little bit fancier than usual. The atmosphere was really nice and the view was gorgeous even on a gloomy day. We went on a weeknight so it was pretty empty and quiet. Our server, Darcy, was amazing. Definitely request to have him to serve you if possible. He made amazing suggestions that we really enjoyed. I noticed that some time while we were eating he had gotten hurt so he disappeared for a little while but when he came back he was still as good as ever and didn t let his injury bother his duties. We mentioned that my partner had a mushroom allergy and he was very diligent in making sure our food was free of mushrooms which is always greatly appreciated. Expensive but reasonable and the quality was good. Probably won t be back any time soon but will be back in the future if the occasion permits.

Great dinner with a beautiful lake as the view. The service was excellent.

I was very happy with the salad and dessert. The main course was disappointing in view of the quantity for the price. The service was very attentive and upbeat.

Gorgeous restaurant with view in Lake Bonavista. Old charm with dark wood & antler light fixtures. Charcuterie & wine made a perfect lunch for my niece & I.

Amazing place. Food is great (and in regular-sized portions), place is very cosy and service was excellent. Would definitely come again. Oh, and saw a fox (?) on the frozen lake

Went above & beyond for our 27th Wedding Anniversary Dinner!!!

Well, this is my favourite restaurant in Calgary. I frequent multiple times a year and they are always on point. The staff are incredible and so helpful and the food is unlike anything I have ever experienced and always so consistent. The views are beautiful too. Thanks friends

When we first showed up it seems the server forgot about us as we were not served for 30 min. After I got the attention of a server they came over and redeemed themselves. The gave us our first drinks for free and a free desert. The food is unbelievable and the service is amazing other than the one speed bump. Shout out to Darcy for redeeming himself throughout the evening!

Had our wedding here, and it was all flawless, fantastic, and enjoyable for all guests. Highly recommend

We were at a wedding there. The venue is gorgeous, and its a lovely setting with skating in the distance. Servers remind me of why I miss the west, so hospitable... Just a great place... And the food was fantastic.

A great place to host a special event

4.8 starts! Haven t been here so long ( about 10yr) food was amazing, portion is bit little but it s okay. I booked for my husband BD but they did not mention any but other tables have candles. Feels a bit unfair.

Nice meal but we ordered the chicken didn t meet the description it should have been stuffed with ricotta and wasn t, skimpy on the veg very pricey for what you get not much on the plate.

Overall excellent experience, definitely recommend dining here.

The food was fabulous!

What a warm and welcoming restaurant. Lots of parking space as its next to a small plaza also. Once checking in, they offer coat check. Made reservations and got brought to a great table. We were very warmly greeted by our server Darcy - one of the most amazing and nicest staff member . He is welcoming and as a regular waiter there, he knows all the ins and out of all foods. Filled with honesty (well respected) he provides enough time to letting you read the menu, ordering and asking whether you are ready for the next plate etc. Atmosphere - filled with warm light in antler decorated chandeliers and a large fireplace, you feel cozy. Everything is also wood based - rustic overall. Food - very good. Well plated and tasted amazing, which meant well flavoured without the need for extensive sauce, butter or salt being drizzled everywhere . Drinks were equally good - including an alcoholic to a non alcoholic drink offering. The night ended with complementary chocolates that had the perfect textured shell crisp and filling to make it subtly sweet. Many other things that I will need to try next time around. The meal was well worth the price tag attached to it with some little bits of leftover to spare.

Always a favorite and never disappoints! I like the rotating menu even though every now and then you miss something seasonally (wheres the peanut butter creme brulee!?! ) I know the rib eye is the go-to for so many but I generally choose a seafood dish - the black cod with porchetta and grilled pineapple salsa was great and we finally had the sweet taffy pudding, too. Attentive service and unique views of the lake

We had our wedding at the Lake house recently, and it was perfect. The staff were very friendly and the service was exceptional. Consistent comments from our guests about how great the food was and how on point everything was. The event coordinator, Kirsten, was great to work with and made the whole process so easy. Absolutely recommend!

Absolutely amazing service, view, and the food was some of the best in the city.

Great food, and the service has been excellent both times we went. Delicious cocktails to boot!

***3.5/5 Stars***** Rustic romance, spectacular views, a large vintage fireplace to keep out of the cold: Need I say more? This restaurant has top-level high-class dining written all over whether it is the locally inspired cuisine or its country-chic atmosphere. The décor has a modernized glass wine cellar as you walk in and a bar from the 1800 s that has been restored to exceed expectations. Afterwards, you see multiple elk-horn chandeliers, an antique (looking) fireplace, and get a glimpse of their outdoor patio with a view of the lake. As it was winter, we got to see all the Christmas lights on the trees in the park. You can see the natural beauty and enchanting elegance that this place has to offer. No wonder they have corporate events, weddings, and private parties there. Our group came to this place for dinner during the week and it is truly a luxurious treat for us all. Seated next to that wonderful fireplace, at these long wooden tables and chairs made conversing and socializing easy. They sure knew how to take care of us. Our server was an absolute delight as she was patient with our large group, answered our many questions with combined knowledge and a smile, and brought our food at the right time for all of us. It is so good to see that the restaurant and the servers were genuine. They wanted us there, made us feel welcome, and we sensed that they wanted us to come again. Thank you, Lakehouse, for that. The food is all local, delicious, and beautifully presented. Each of us had a smile on our faces when we got what we ordered. Each plate looked like a work of art and it was a shame that we had to eat it. But we were not that ashamed because we enjoyed every bite. However, there is something that needs to be said. There was not a lot of vegetarian options in fact there only seemed to be a couple of items that a person could get off of the menu. One of those things being a salad which was absolutely divine but it would be nice to have more options. This is an expensive restaurant but the good news is you do get quality. This is a restaurant where you can truly treat yourself but the only problem is you can t go back too often when the price for a 6-ounce glass of wine is (on average) $16 and the salad is $20. We will be back of course. These prices will not stop us adventurers. It also should be noted that this place was not easy to find but that could be because we came at night. The Uber driver had a bit of a hard time seeing this place to drop us off and pick us up when we were finished. Also being wintertime does not make it any easier either. This could be something very different in the summertime. It s just when you don t know the area well this could be a challenge. In conclusion, this was a wonderful experience on the whole. Gorgeous restaurant, a few but tasty meals, and smiling faces all around. This is a restaurant you definitely have to try out when you are feeling decadent or just want to find a beautiful view to enjoy with a glass of wine. Don t be afraid. Just go for it!

What a fantastic restaurant! Our serviceR Darcy made the night memorable! The food could have been terrible but his attitude and attention to detail. Was 10/10 would come back to have him as our server once again. Thank you Darcy for making our dinner one to remember!

We hosted our wedding here and it was a wonderful experience. Excellent food and wonderful, attentive staff. The event coordinator was very helpful and thought of so many things we wouldn t have even considered. The whole thing went off without a hitch. For regular dinning, they have a great brunch/lunch menu too.

So romantic! My husband and I had a date night here to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere was unreal! Food was delicious and the service also so great, we had Frank helping us mainly and he was amazing, but all the servers were great! I booked our night with a note that we were celebrating or anniversary and they took the time to say congrats and give us a chocolate card and some bubbles:) that was very sweet and a much appreciated touch!

A Mixed Valentines Day Experience at The Lake House: My partner, another couple, and I ventured to The Lake House for the first time, excited for a romantic culinary journey. Overall, we rate our experience a solid 4 out of 5 stars, but let me share the highs and lows. The Valentines menu had its hits and misses. The lamb ribs, bison, and dessert were definite winners, leaving us craving more. However, the oyster course was a letdown with just one oyster per person, feeling more like a tease than a course. The cod risotto also fell flat with its lack of flavor. Now, about the service, and this isnt a typical complaint for us. Our server was incredibly attentive, perhaps a bit too much so. Constant water refills and check-ins interrupted our conversation countless times, leaving us feeling annoyed. Despite these hiccups, were willing to give The Lake House another chance, perhaps when the weather warms up. With a few adjustments, this place could become the ultimate date spot.

A wonderful evening with excellent service. The food was great, particularly the seafood board and the elk. All components thoughtfully executed and satisfying. Strongly recommended.

Great dining experience. Delicious food and fantastic service. Kid-friendliness: They offer high chair for kids. Food : 5/5 |

Very nice and welcoming, the servers are really good, and ambiance is good for occasions.

The best steak Ive ever had!

We went here as a family gathering to celebrate our anniversary. We had a table of 8. The waiter was amazing and so attentive. Answered all our questions and was extremely pleasant so the night felt extra special! I ordered the black cod and my husband ordered the duck. We both enjoyed the meal. Our young son enjoyed the mac and cheese. We liked the wine selection and overall the atmosphere was warm and had an air of being both casual but special at the same time. I would recommend this place for both special occasions and date nights. The view of the lake made the whole experience memorable. Kid-friendliness: They offered kid friendly meals with an elevated twist

Best meal Ive had in the last 10 years. Amazing

We went for a large corporate event, and it was the most expertly catered dinner Ive ever been to. Everything was perfect.

We rented out The Lake House recently for a corporate event. Everything was amazing from the venue, the food, the staff...it exceeded our expectations. Booking the venue went smoothly and the staff are so friendly and professional. Highly recommend this facility.

Dinner was outstanding. I had a ribeye and the flavor was just perfect. My husband has scallops and shrimp and he raves about them. Service is great. It s loud in here, so it s a cool place for date night but if you re looking for a quiet place, this isn t it. The view is also very cool.

Wonderful meal and service again. The food was unique and exquisite with every taste full of amazing flavour. This is our go-to place for special events and has never let us down. Highly recommended!

Lovely experience and meal. Friendly and professional staff, beautiful location and excellent selection of both food and drink. Special mention to the peanut butter crème brûlée!

Service was phenomenal. Darcy was engaging and attentive all evening. The oysters were the freshest Ive had in Calgary and the crab Fettuccine was flavourful without being too heavy. Steak was a perfect medium rare and the scallops were seared just right.

We decided to try the Lake House for our annual Valentines Dinner out. The serving staff was very friendly. The food was awesome! Highly recommend!

Amazing service, very tentative and accommodating at all times. The food was exceptional, amazingly flavourful, will definitely be going back and would 10/10 recommend to family & friends!

Great atmosphere, service was also quite good, and the food was excellent. The stuffed lamb was delicious, and the sunset across the lake was spectacular. Will be returning.

Food was incredible.

Excellent experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the food is creative and full of flavor. Our server D Arcy was incredible and really made the total experience a 5 star.

This might be my absolute favorite restaurant I have been to in Calgary. The location, interior and ambience is amazing. Service was excellent and my Bison duo was one of the best dishes I have ever had.

We had our wedding at the Lake House in September 2022. It was magical! Venue was perfect and exactly what we envisioned for our special day. Staff very professional, and my God, the food and service, FANTASTIC! Thank you, Lake House for bringing our dream wedding to life!

Food was so good the ambient is so romantic. Looking forward to coming here again!

Gorgeous!

My wife and I went for our anniversary. Food was excellent and the service was also. Request for Darcy to take care of you, and you will not be disappointed.

Went for lunch with a friend. Service was great. She was attentive and quick. Serving size was good. I found the mussels didnt have tons of flavor but the salmon was good.

Celebrated my birthday with family tonight. Dinner was fabulous. Our waiter, Frank, was very personable and gave us great service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service! Our server was attentive and professional. Food was excellent. Looked like a rather small serving of food, but it was actually filling. I had the Bison and it was delicious. Deserts were great as well. Kid-friendliness: Had a toddler in our group. He was treated with the same attention as the adults to ensure his enjoyment. Kids meal was fantastic as well.

The food is exquisite. The staff friendly And knowledgeable. The atmosphere is warm and cosy

Its incredibly noisy as there are no soft surface to muffle the noise. Having said that, the food and service were both fantastic.

The food was very good, but unfortunately there was a hair in my friends food

Great atmosphere overlooking the lake and the big fireplace. Dinner with two colleagues from out of town and they really enjoyed it - food always really good.

The food here is unmatched, as is the service. We had our wedding here last weekend and I was blown away by the professionalism and care in everything they did. We will be making a yearly visit to celebrate our anniversary.

Great place for business lunches. Had the oysters, beef and bison burger, and finished with peanut butter creme brulee. Service was excellent. Highly recommend reserving a table by the water for the view. Sometimes at lunch they dont take reservations for a specific tables so I would highly recommend getting there a couple of minutes early. The view by the water with the comfy chairs is a five-star lunch.

Came here for an event. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic venue.

We just went here for our anniversary - not only was the food delicious but the service was incredible! Our server was Frank and we felt very taken care of during our dinner. Our food came out very timely and we received such a nice send off of chocolates and glasses of gingerale for our celebratory dinner. This was our very first time attending the Lake House and we were sitting outside with a front view of the lake, it was beautiful. Needless to say we will absolutely be back! Thank you for such a memorable evening!!

Incredible views on the outdoor patio and very friendly service. The food is also phenomenal

Good food, amazing service, amazing view and we were having such a nice time at The Lakehouse. Saying amazing service is most certainly an understatement, they went above and beyond for us especially when we let them know we were vising for our anniversary. When we went to pay and saw that they charged us for our waters, it tainted an otherwise great experience and we felt a little bit offended when leaving thinking were they really unable to take on the cost of filtered water on a $100+ bill for two people?. We talked about that heading back to the car more-so than any other aspect of the dinner. Maybe its a bit petty but when a restaurant goes so above and beyond in all aspects to (successfully) leave a great impression, and on top of premium prices for everything - are you really unable to absorb the cost of filtered water?

Always Beautiful Always Delicious Cozy Or window view Food : 5/5 |

Good food, great view and wonderful service couldn t ask for anything more.

Excellent food, service view and wine list. Totally recommended, Francis was an excellent server!

Unique experience of dining with amazing lake view. Cant say, however, many compliments for food. I did not really like salmon with beans (was too dry) and burger was average, plus fish cuts didnt taste like anything. But broccoli soup was tasty. Anyways, with a little bit more variety and choice of food this restaurant could have been the best in town.

Beautiful.

Great view and service was great, sit on the patio if weather allows. We were there celebrating an anniversary and they gave us a nice Happy Anniversary message on our dessert and some complimentary champagne.

Food was below average. Service was sub par

It was good just a little bit loud

Update: This time around my experience was disappointing. It started with a waiter (Darcy) offending me when I questioned our seating. Then he tried to make up for his behavior by being overly too attentive that we couldnt enjoy our meal and conversation. The food was good, but I honestly came for the view. I didnt understand the explanation about how some people get to sit close to the lake and others dont have the choice. I understand not everyone can be accommodated, but I felt a sense of discrimination as they might want to please their regular clients. Would I come back, not for awhile. ---- ------------------------------------------------- Beautiful place with amazing food, excellent service and views to die for ...cant wait to return

We had a wonderful experience with the customer service and and planning the details of our wedding. Kirsten and Ema both helped answer our questions and address any concerns we had prior to our big day and in finalizing every detail. On our wedding day, the manager on site along with the bartenders, servers, and kitchen employees all ensured our day went smoothly. We could not be more grateful for having the opportunity to have our wedding at this amazing venue! Thank you for making our day magical!

The food and service is really good but the atmosphere is lacking unless you sit along the windows to see the lake. There is also a weird thing where they change you a dollar per person for water but no charge for bread.

Busy night last night for a wedding . Staff were super pleasant and accommodating. Thanks for your attention to detail and tasty libations Dietary restrictions: Gluten sensitive and free options

We had an amazing Anniversary date at The Lake house tonight! We were sat right at the windows overlooking the lake and provided with Prosecco to celebrate our special dinner. What an amazing venue with a great view! Its a beautiful restaurant with very nice decor. Looking out to the lake provides a calming ambiance. Our server Darcy was friendly, informative and fun. He really took care of us, suggesting their best dishes, wines, cocktails and beers. All of his suggestions were on point. We ordered the small charcuterie platter, Rib Eye, the Tuna, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Gin and Tonic Cake, the Purple Rain Cocktail, Born to Rum cocktail, Foam Espresso Martini as well as wine, beer and a fine brandy. All of the dishes and drinks exceeded expectations. The flavours were refined, with great contrasting textures and beautiful presentation. Its hard to narrow down my favourite, but the Sticky Toffee Pudding with the banana ice cream paired so well with the brandy, I thought I was in heaven. We really had an amazing evening here, and just wish we had the time to experience the other dishes. The Happy Anniversary chocolate plaque was so thoughtful! Thank you Darcy and all the Lake House staff, we will return! Parking: Parking is right in front of the restaurant with many spaces compared to the size of the restaurant.

Try the wild boar

We were celebrating 2 birthdays, 2 Master Eng graduations & a family get together with family from out of town. Service was excellent...food was even more excellent!! Even though it Id a 1 hour drive we will be going again! Thank you staff at the Lake House. You were the best!!!

Parking: No problem...we had 3 vehicles arriving at the same time ...no waiting or long walks!!

The Bison Burger is incredible as were the fries! Great service.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. 10/10

We had our wedding here on July 1, 2023. We recommend The Lake House to anyone. The Lake House has always been a favorite of ours--a restaurant we come back to annually to celebrate valentines (which ultimately became our engagement anniversary). Food, service and atmosphere are consistently great every single time we come so we thought it made sense to have our wedding reception here as well. First off, Kirsten Davies is an awesome event coordinator. She is well-prepared and organized and just made the dinner reception planning, what I thought would be the most stressful part of the process, so easy! We had 120 guests and not a single guest complained about the food. We ordered over 90 filets that night and every guest who enjoys a rarer steak was thrilled that their steak were TRULY medium rare or rare. I was told the halibut was not dry at all and delicious! The heirloom tomato soup was flavorful with a delightful kick and finally, the Pina Colada cake was the star. Thank you for accommodating our special request :). Shout out to the waiter who waited on the head table (I think his name was Darcey?). He saw how busy I was the whole night and, without asking, packed up my meal so I could enjoy it later. My wedding party loved how attentive he was! The entire wait staff was fantastic as well--dishes were always cleared in a timely manner and glasses always topped up. Finally, the bar staff were superstars--we had a lot of signature cocktails and shooters and appreciated how well you kept up with all the requests. We will see you again as we will likely celebrate our wedding anniversary with you for many years to come. Vegetarian options: Offered vegetarian options for our vegetarian guest Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating with all our guests. Even went guest-to-guest to confirm entrees and ask for dietary restrictions. Kid-friendliness: Had separate kid-friendly menu options Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator access available

Great food and service from Val was also great (: she was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and great service. We dined here for lunch and had a lovely table on the patio overlooking the Lake. The beef and bison burger was super tasty! I look forward to trying other dishes on the menu! This place is perfect for a special occasion or just a nice lunch out!

The perfect setting for a special occasion.

This place i perfect for weddings

A fabulous dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the drink menu was amazing! All with a beautiful view. We are going back.

Deeeeeeeeeeee best! Yes!

Overall rating = 4.6/5 Food: 4/5 *Tomato soup - great start to the meal, flavourful and presented well 5/5 *Beef - overcooked and chewy, but the sauce was tasty. Mashed potato was average. Expected better from this establishment 2.5/5 *Salted caramel dessert - looks amazing and tasted equally scrumptious 5/5 Service: 5/5 Servers are polite Atmosphere: 5/5 Perfect location for a wedding

My son was married here and it was perfect!

Amazing ambiance....beautifully designed Kid-friendliness: Waiter as friendly to a child as he was to the patron Recommended dishes Pei Mussels and Frites, Herb Crusted Halibut

A truly fine Calgary dining experience. The food was excellent, service superb and the location was lovely. Well worth the visit.

Spectacular place in every way

We went for a dinner. It was a beautiful location with amazing view of the lake. The food was great, from appetizers to desert. It is a hidden gem worth the drive to get to.

Beautiful view. Highly recommend to book in advance. Great service. Ask about allergies. Vegetarian options: Soup of the day.

Best dinner experience we ve had in a long time. The service, the food, the atmosphere all amazing top of the line. Even if I tried to complain about even one thing there would be none.

Im not sure if I can convey how exceptional The Lake House is but I will try! We had our wedding at the Lake House last weekend and we were just blown away at how awesome they were. Usually you have a few things or staff members that arent great but honestly every staff member there were rockstars! They cared for every guest at the venue not just us. The food was phenomenal as well. Usually the food at weddings are mid to meh but it was SO good. The steak was done PERFECTLY medium rare. Hats off to the chef! The main event coordinator, Kirsten, is awesome. We loved working with her. She clearly has done 1-10000 weddings as she answered all of our questions and anticipated every question we would have. Overall, we felt incredibly well taken care of. Theyre incredibly efficient in everything. The flipping of the ceremony to reception was so awesome and so fast. The dinner part was so so good and easy. Honestly, love this venue! Highly highly highly recommend hosting your wedding or any event here! Dietary restrictions: they can accommodate all restrictions Parking: ample parking space Kid-friendliness: high chairs Wheelchair accessibility: theres a lift/elevator

Lovely dinner, a wonderful place for a special occasion. Limited menu if you are a bit on the timid side but everything tastes so good. Nice wine selection and I really like the house made ice cream trio - banana ice cream was outstanding.

The Lake House was chosen as our wedding venue. Our overall experience was not bad. Just a few warnings for anyone also interested in doing their weddings here, we unknowingly did not meet the minimum by a couple grand (they conveniently waited until the very end of the night which is also when the bill is expected to be settled. Beware that if the minimum isnt met you will not know and will just have to fork up extra cash to meet the minimum with nothing in return. We wish we wouldve been advised sooner but alas they waited until the last possible second. The bartender seemed reluctant to serve anyone drinks and we paid for an open bar. It was pretty astonishing how poor the service was behind the bar.

Always a great experience. Great ambience, service and food makes for a delightful night. Thank you! Food : 5/5

Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful setting, fabulous food, and excellent service. Food

Lovely place for an intimate wedding!

Darcy, Darcy, Darcy! What a wonderful evening. Going out for a special evening isnt always about the location or the food but also the people you intact with. Darcy definitely made the evening and the location and the food was just the added feature. We have lived in Calgary for 23years and this is our first visit to the Lakehouse . We live literally minutes away and boy have we been missing out. This will not be our last visit and if you have never experienced this establishment is is definitely a must. Parking: Parking was not an issue.

2.5 stars overall. The ambiance was good. The food was ok, definitely not worth the $40+ dollar mains. The chicken supreme was dry, as was the trout that tasted cheaply made and candied. For that price, Id venture a bit further into the inner-city and try some of the competitive restaurants in the beltline and downtown. Based on all the courses we had, Id say this place gets its reputation from being lakeside and having ambiance alone.

My wife treated me on my birthday. The place is very cozy, service was excellent, food was great and price is very reasonable for a steak house. I would highly recommend them. A must try in Calgary!

Had our wedding here just last week. Went through a series of choices for a venue and this was the first one we saw out of the potential 5 we also chose as our options. Its not that we just went with the first one cause we didnt want to go and see the other places, it was love at first sight and we knew that this was the best venue to hold our event. Weve reached out to Kirsten back in 2021 to plan a wedding for 2022 but we werent able to finalize anything and couldnt prioritize our planning at the moment. I got in touch with her sometime in 2023 and reached out to Kirsten to help us again with ease despite getting a booking 6-7 months prior to the event. We were very happy with the food tastings as it helped us create a menu for our guests and not a lot of people knew that this place existed. Because of our wedding, people want to come back to dine in as they raved about how great their meals are. Ive already planned to come back to take my wife to have dinner here as this place will forever hold a special place in our heart. These 5 stars are not because I was told to leave them a review. Im going out of my way to leave this review because their staff and the food were exceptional. Thank you again to Kirsten Davies and the Lake House staff. You guys were amazing!!

We have been to The Lake House many times over the years and it s always been a pleasant experience. The service is always impeccable and the food is good. I would highly recommend for a special evening.

I love this place i went yesterday for my anniversary dinner there so friendly staff food was good but 10/10 to service her was Nikki she did amazing job. Presentation of food, service, drinks and atmosphere everything was great. I really recommend this place must visit for night viewing i will back to see the day view of this restaurant thank you Vegetarian options: Add some more veggies option please

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here. The service was 10/10. The food was 11/10. Will be coming back again.

This was my first experience here and I was very impressed. The menu has a surf and turf vibe and great for those who are into the surf part, for sure. The ribeye steak is apparently their best seller but you have to have the Elk brisket. *chefs kiss* Actually everything was amazing. If you want a lovely date night location, this is it, truly.

I booked the private room at the lake house for my wedding dinner. The service and food were great!! They also let my friends come in an hour earlier to decorate my tables. Even though the private room has limited capacity, it was very spacious for my group we were 34 people in total and we even had plenty of space left for our first dance the food was delicious and all of our guest enjoyed it very much. My only feedback would be to the events manager. During the planning process, from all my vendors she was the only one that seemed a bit cold and sort of rigid, mostly on us following the schedule. I understand there may be difficult customers but not everyone is like that, and I did feel a little judged during our calls as she would repeatedly make comments about last call time, end times, courses times, or to not take too long during speeches, etc. During the wedding day everything went well, and since it was only dinner (not a full reception) we even left before the last call hehe. Just some feedback, overall, we had a great time. Thank you everyone!!!
