wow wow wow our waiter Isaiah was so kind and patient with my table we were greeted by a kind hostess and our food was brought all at once by three food runners which was a nice touch the octopus was so tender and melt in your mouth great. prawns were seasoned well and tasted great my two table mates both got the steaks and they loved the gnocchi that came with it. the steak was cooked perfectly to their liking and was tender and well salt+ peppered awesome ambiance being seated next to the water at sunset would for sure come back thanks for the great dinner!

Here’s a tailored review that highlights the lobster dish: I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Lakehouse Restaurant, and it was an experience to remember. The serene lakeside setting was absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful and picturesque backdrop that made the meal even more special. I ordered the lobster, and it was nothing short of perfection. The lobster was fresh, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, with a rich, buttery flavor that melted in my mouth. The accompanying sides were equally delightful, complementing the dish beautifully and showcasing the chef’s attention to detail. The service was top-notch – our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The combination of exceptional food, a breathtaking location, and outstanding service makes the Lakehouse Restaurant a true gem. If you’re a seafood lover, the lobster is a must-try! I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Food was fantastic. Had the short ribs and the cod. Was an amazing piece of fish and perfect size. Short ribs were tender and flavourful. Restaurant was a bit noisy but hubby and I enjoyed our meal. We will be back!

I ordered the French toast for brunch at this gorgeous restaurant! Even though it took nearly 45 min for our main dishes to make it to our table, it was worth the wait. Best French toast I've ever had! Just 4 stars for the wait, and also a little pricey! Would recommend 👌🏻

This restaurant had delicious food and a fun atmosphere. We were here at night, but we could still see the lake from the porch thanks to the bright moon. The service was a little slow as if they had forgotten to put our order in, but the wait staff was very considerate and got the food out quickly once we mentioned something. I loved the Pecan Crusted Salmon with a Dijon mustard sauce. So good! The Mediterranean board and salad were also good. My daughter's pizza was a little burned on the bottom, however. Overall, it is a good restaurant, but I gave it only 4 stars because of the slowness in getting our food out.

We came to eat here for our 9 year anniversary and it was absolutely amazing. From start to finish The baked honey Brie was delicious, calamari was good with multiple sauces to choose from. We had a drink each which was delicious and tasty. For our mains we had the fish and the beef rib. The lobster sauce on the fish was super good! The rib was a bit of on the drier side and to top off the night we had some house made desserts. The service was amazing, we sat upstairs which felt very private with a stunning view. We would definitely come back again to try other dishes from the menu!

Like many, we've driven by this place many times to and from Niagara Falls for years and we always say we're gonna stop by and check it out...well that day finally came. Wifey and I went there for an early dinner and it was totally worth the drive. Everything about this place is perfect. The food is amazing and the portions are good for what you're paying. Prices are very fair and the atmosphere is just spot on. I just wanted to also highlight our server Brandon who was simply outstanding. He was very courteous, knew the menu inside out and was just an absolute pleasure to have met. Honestly the entire staff that we interacted with were just so sweet and kind...you guys know how to pick 'em that's for sure. We're definitely going to make this a yearly thing from now on. Looking forward to our next visit for sure.

Our third time here. Fantastic as always. Food is great, staff is great, inside atmosphere is nice, outdoor patio has a fantastic view. We've split the paella in the past and this time have we got the octopus and the shrimp Alfredo with crab cakes and baked brie and mini desserts. All very tasty. It's a little expensive but it's worth it. Parking is kinda difficult, too. But it's all still very worth it for a nice treat-yo-self date night!

Beautiful scenery out on the patio, great service and clean washrooms. The Paella for two (seafood rice platter) was delicious, definitely a dish more than enough for two people. Although the crusted cod on asparagus was a bit salty, bread basket and kale salad were good. Would definitely recommend for tourists hanging around to see the falls and water. UPDATE: We recently returned to the restaurant and were able to once again enjoy delicious foods. The seafood Paella is, again, a must-order dish. As it was around Canadian Thanksgiving, they also offered a special thanksgiving meal.

We had spent a couple of days in NOTL celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary and decided, last minute, to stop at the Lake House on our way back to Toronto. We were fortunate to get a spot, since we didnt have a reservation. As usual, we were not disappointed. Service was quick and friendly, the food was very good, although not spectacular and the views were awesome, although the restaurant is far from a quiet, relaxed venue. Cost, with tax and tip, was around $100 per person.

Excellent dining experience from beginning to end. Staff looked after us with care and attention. Ive reserved online and indicated for occasion that it was our anniversary and didnt expect much from that. When we arrived there staff had surprised us and made it extra special. Our server was professional and extremely attentive. He made sure our drinks and food were served in a timely manner. Food was exceptional and we were stuffed. First time going there. Well be sure to be back again in summer to see the Lakeview!

Gorgeous restaurant. We were just passing through and decided to stop. We were wearing comfy clothes as we were traveling. We went in the evening and didnt see the view but it was nicely decorated inside for the holidays. Our waitress was lovely, very helpful in helping me make a selection. The food was very good. I had shrimp fettuccine but substituted shrimp for chicken and she made sure the kitchen knew about my selfish allergy. My BF had chichen and mashed potatoes and it was so juicy. Definitely will be back for the views.

We came here to celebrate my birthday! The food was amazing, we got the tuna tartare and beef carpaccio for appetizers, and seafood paella and chicken supreme for mains. I gotta say that the seafood paella portion was huge, and it s very delicious, full of shrimps, scallops, mussels! The chicken was so juicy and tender, I strongly recommend this dish. For drinks, my friends got sparkling wines and I got tropical punch. Last but not least, our server was so kind and friendly, thank him for making my birthday special

We went to dinner to celebrate my in-laws birthdays. Dining out can be challenging for me because I have Ulcerative Colitis, a condition that restricts my ability to eat certain vegetables, dairy, grains, and spicy foods. Eating the wrong thing can make me very sick. I have to be extremely careful with my food choices. I ordered a delicious beef dish, though I couldnt have the garlic potatoes or seasonal vegetables. The waitress was incredibly kind and offered to substitute cooked zucchini, which I was able to eat. This extra effort made a big difference to me. Ordering out can sometimes be nerve-wracking due to the many substitutions I need, but her willingness to accommodate my needs made me feel welcome and worry-free. Thank you so much for making this experience enjoyable!

Excellent food and service, but noise level unbearable. Last 2 times I was here i didnt notice any noise, but it was outside seating when weather was better. Noise detracted from the occasion as I could not make out our conversation. 4 of us all agreed. Paella for 2 was wonderful, with plenty left over. The salmon, espresso, creme brule and apps were all great, as was our server (Lee?).

We have been here on a number of occasions and enjoyed it very much. We decided to have a whole family outing looking forward to a similar experience. Our server Rhonda was fantastic and the view overlooking the lake was wonderful. We started with appetizers that were a 10/10. Everyone was anticipating a tasty main. 2 of the 5 meals were nice with the others primary dish being over cooked and dry. The corn as part the seasons vegetables was ice cold. I should have expressed our concerns, so our fault for not being more assertive and giving them a chance to fix it but with two people well on their way through their meal, we didn t not want to wait and leave them watching us eat later. Just disappointing that the meals werent prepared very well given the quality of this restaurant and the prices being charged. I m sure we will give it another opportunity to redeem itself.

We make a couple of trips from Toronto to Niagara a year and like so many other reviewers, we have seen the Lakehouse Restaurant but never stopped in. This time we made a conscious decision to stop on our way home for lunch and are we ever glad we did!! Obviously the location and views are stellar. However what made this experience so special was the food and the service. Our server, Ashley, could not have been nicer or more attentive even with it being so busy. In fact, all the staff we interacted with were so nice and helpful. The food was excellent!! My husband had the lamb burger and I had the goat & beet salad with the gluten free bread plate. The Lakehouse offers little desserts which were perfect to top off the lunch....we highly recommend the skors or the dark chocolate, raspberry, orange desserts. Reservations are recommended although we were accommodated without one. The atmosphere was so relaxed and enjoyable and we cannot wait to go back.

Jacob Honsberger Moyer bought this farm property in 1860, and built this house in 1867. By 1871 local farmers had advanced from clearing land and growing grain for their own use to a situation of surplus production. Recognizing an excellent business opportunity, Moyer set up as a grain merchant and shipper. On this site, he constructed a large wharf and warehouse to store and ship farmers grain. It became a very busy lakefront, with docked schooners and long lines of farm wagons waiting to unload. When those vessels sailed off, the cargo aboard them represented some of the earliest agricultural exports from this area and provided farmers with funds to improve homesteads and to expand to other crops. When the business shut down in 1885, it had contributed significantly to the prosperity of agriculture throughout the area.

UPDATE! Im pleased to say we finally got back for another excellent meal at The Lakehouse. A busy Saturday night, but terrific service (thanks Gigi!) and delicious meals from the kitchen team. A creature of habit, I went for the Moroccan Lamb Shank (again) and was delighted again. Such a tremendous experience! September 28, 2024 S, Y, C, C & J ORIGINAL REVIEW: We had an absolutely wonderful family dining experience this past weekend at Lake House. After 25 years of living in Hamilton and driving past the Lake House, finally, at long last, we visited! Im sad now that we waited so long. Yes, it was a splurge, but it is a great place for a celebration or date night. Elegant spaces and impeccable service support excellent dishes from the kitchen team. Three of our party opted for the prix fixe menu, and all, including myself, had the Moroccan Lamb Shank as the entree. I have lived my life until now, believing I did not like lamb, but was feeling adventurous. The lamb shank was so tender and flavourful - Ive been missing out! Appetizers and a mini dessert are part of the prix fixe menu as well. My baked brie appetizer was delicious, and the tiny taste of the pesto pistachio feta dip shared with me was even better. The mini desserts were, after an appetizer and entree, plenty to finish the meal. Our companions both chose the Pecan crusted salmon and enjoyed it completely. We dined upstairs in a room with perhaps 8 tables, so it is quite quiet and has windows overlooking the lake. The server who looked after our party, Kaila, was tremendous. Attentive, helpful and very friendly, and cheerful even though it seemed like it was a very busy, hectic Saturday dinner service. Thank you, Kaila! And of course, thank you to the kitchen staff for that spectacular Moroccan Lamb Shank!

My wife and I had a chance to enjoy a meal at the Lake House for our Anniversary, it couldnt have been better. We arrived a little earlier than our reservation, the hostess was kind enough to seat us promptly. No awkward pause or confusion, she was able to find us a great spot without trouble. The restaurant was already busy, we were so glad they could accommodate us. Our waitress Melissa was easy to talk to and made some nice recommendations that did not disappoint. Starting with the Burrata board with Proscuitto, everything was full of flavour. The crostini bread and cherry tomatoes were unbelievable fresh, the Burrata cheese and Proscuitto was SO savoury. My wife had the Icelandic Cod, I had the Boneless Short Rib. Everything looked so good I forgot to take a photo. All the flavours were fantastic, nothing short of a great meal for our afternoon out in Niagara Region. Well come back for sure - the Paella for two looks amazing!

I come here often but never considered the salad. I was planning to have a steak for dinner so I opted for a salad for lunch.

I m speechless on how delicious it was and now I m probably going to try their entire vegetarian menu. Everything else is good too.

My wife and I had a nice dinner at the Lake House Restaurant recently. We made reservations through Open Table and were quickly seated upon our arrival at a very nice table by the window. Our server Kalvin was wonderful throughout the evening as he navigated a very busy Saturday night crowd. We had the traditional charcuterie board as a starter which was great, especially the sausage and mustard. For the main we shared the paella for two it could have been a paella for 3 or 4. The paella was good, not quite a traditional paella as we expected, probably due to the size of it. I think that they are catering to the masses, but a bit of saffron, paella rice, a little bit of crispness on the bottom and a fresh and authentic chorizo sausage would have elevated this dish. Otherwise the seafood, chicken and vegetable ingredients were cooked perfectly. To finish the dinner we had a couple mini desserts, a cappuccino and a Spanish coffee. We had a great evening and would like to try some other dishes on our next visit. Parking: Big lot but was full, had to wait for a spot to open. Probably a Saturday night thing.

What a great dining experience. We were welcomed by the friendly staff who immediately wished us a happy anniversary. After showing proof of vaccination and identification we were taken upstairs to our table. The table had heart shaped confetti on it as an added touch. During the course of our meal the manager checked in with us and also wished us a happy anniversary. The food was simply delicious and well presented. Better than the food was our server. Ali made us feel welcomed, relaxed in an open dining area and attended to our dining needs with grace and happiness. She made terrific wine pairing recommendations and even surprised us with the most wonderful dessert at the end of our meal. Like most people who travel the QEW to and from the Niagara region, we have always seen the Lakehouse Restaurant on the side of the highway. Do yourself a favor and stop on your next trip. You will not be disappointed!

We came for our 5 year anniversary. We have been before awhile ago and were so happy that the food was as good as we remembered it. Great atmosphere, good service, beautiful lakeview. We ve sat both indoors and outdoors before (have patio in summer) and both are nice seating and comfortable. We started with the baked Brie skillet which was so nice and not too heavy. My husband had the shrimp mac n cheese and I had the special which was a chicken/butternut squash penne. Both good and large portions (I took half home for next day while hubby who has much bigger appetite felt satisfied with his whole meal). They really know how to portion things so there s just the right amount of bread or side to whatever you re eating too. The best thing of the night for me, tiramisu!!! I think it s the best I ve ever had. I ve never been a huge tiramisu person but dang, I could eat that everyday. Divine!

Our lakeside salad had number of rotten leaves. No apologies or adjustments on the bill. The dressing was not as tasty as in the past. This was our favorite dish in the past. We will not order it again.

This was our first visit, but it wont be our last. We had a great spot on the patio...so lovely, directly overlooking the lake. All our food was fantastic. We had shrimp mac n cheese (tons of shrimp) and penne pollo. Both dishes arrived hot and delicious. Our server, Suze, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were definitely appropriate for the quality of food, service, and ambiance. Excellent experience.

My husband and I stopped for lunch with our 2 kids. While the ambiance and atmosphere was very nice, the service wasn t that great. We sat out on the deck and while we waited to get our order we asked if we could move to another table that was available because there was no shade at the table we were sitting at. We were told we couldn t move there because the table was allocated to a different server. We ended up having such an uncomfortable seating. Will definitely not be going back.

This restaurant is near and dear to my heart. My fiancé (now husband) took me here after he proposed in 2015. The food and service are still superb. We shared the spinach salad, arrbiata pizza, lamb burger (the best burger I ve ever had in life and that s a big statement), and Nashville chicken sandwich. The portions are large, so we didn t have room for dessert. The service was excellent. I m sorry I forgot our waiter s name. He was working on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at 2:30pm in the room that has the door leading to the patio. He kept our water glasses full and checked on us regularly to ensure we wanted for nothing. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of waiting 11/2 hrs for our steaks and the came over well done burnt. Chuck Roadhouse steak is better for less than half the price. The supervisor talked to us in a poor manner , I believe because they are very busy. She offered us a $2.00 desert to compensate. Did not look after us very well for a burnt 3- $59 steaks. Have been there before but will not go back. The Keg is better and less . Unsatisfied customer Keep your food for others to not enjoy .

Food was delicious - salmon crab cakes for appetizer ($25 for 2 smaller than palm size is pricey), lamb shank entree, tiger shrimp fettuccine and kids pasta with meat sauce (asked for a rose sauce and they were kind enough to accommodate). Everything was fresh, piping hot, cooked to perfection, and well seasoned. We had creme brulee for dessert, which was the perfect end to our meal. We arent wine drinkers, but we tried a couple of cocktails, and both were good. The drink menu is limited. Our server, Brandon, was kind and sweet with our child. It was very busy for the long weekend, so the service was a bit slow. We werent greeted until probably 10-15 mins after being seated. No water was provided for close to 30 mins, and it was warm inside with all tables full. It wouldve been quite chilly on the patio with our child, but it looked lovely with beautiful views. Id try again when its not the last weekend of the summer before school starts. Weve always driven past and keep forgetting to come for a visit, but were glad we did today. Id strongly recommend making reservations. Parking: Gravel/rocks Kid-friendliness: Kids menu was great, our child enjoyed their meal. Great portion.

We had an exceptional experience at The Lakehouse Restaurant, where we dine annually for our anniversary. The outdoor setting is truly beautiful, and our patio seating made the evening even more special. However, it s worth noting that the outdoor seating is somewhat limited, so there might be a bit of a wait. During this time, you can relax at the bar and enjoy a drink. Jake, the bartender, is wonderful and made our wait enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, and the waitstaff were all attentive and friendly. The service was wonderful overall, and The Lakehouse Restaurant never fails to impress us.

Great place to stop on your way to or from Niagara. Convenient location and hours. It is often busy though so make a reservation unless you dont mind waiting. Restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the patio has a great view of the water. Service staff are very friendly. The food is always very tasty. A little on the pricey side, but food arrives quickly and is always served piping hot. Some of my favorites are the lamb burger, mac and cheese, seafood and sharing platters. Vegetarian options: Separate full vegetarian menu. Dietary restrictions: Options for vegetarian, gluten free, etc. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get in but parking lot is gravel and restaurant is multiple levels.

Zero star!! Horrible experience. Never coming back. Only thing that is going for this restaurant is the location. Firstly the manger should be fired! If I am spending around $50 per person I would least expect the glasses they serve drinking water in are clean and hygienic enough.when one of my guest first complained that the glasses stink really bad I asked the waitress to switch glasses assuming a mistake can happen in such a busy restaurant and ordered bottled water just to be safe.at this point I didn t sip on my water yet. Two other people complained about the same and i tried to sip some water wondering what all these people are complaining about. I almost puked on myself when I brought the glass close to my mouth to drink water. There was a disgusting stunk coming from the glass itself. At this point I m so disgusted and embarrassed for bringing my guests here. Our group were half way digging into their food at this point and I didn t want to cause a seen. Waiter was kind enough to switch glasses I payed our full bill and walked out. but the embarrassment I felt and disgust for paying $50+ per head and driving all the way here is so disappointing. I wonder how hygienic their kitchens really is for their utensils to smell this bad. Food taste is very basic. Don t get fooled by the location and the cars you see in the parking lot. Most of them are people driving by and most probably not repeating customers. Food is pretty basic too.

Disappointing, but the food was great. I won t lie the food was delicious, but the portions were really tiny. The staff were great people, but the service was incredibly slow. I understand it s not a fast food joint, but waiting 20 minutes just to get a Diet Coke, and over an hour for appetizers, is too much. We eventually had to give up and request our food as takeout because we ran out of time. To make it worse, they forgot to include napkins or utensils with our order. It wasn t even busy, and the tables next to us, who arrived after us, were served and finished eating before we even got our food! Someone in the kitchen clearly dropped the ball. And despite all of this, they still expected a full tip on the entire bill. Not cool.

Very nice place! Food was very delicious - Id say worth its price, especially with such a view! We enjoyed it a lot with my husband and little son. Shrimps in Tiger Shrimp Fettuccine were big and juicy. Hummus appetizer plate reminded me the authentic Israelian taste, though falafel was a bit too crunchy. My husband tried a signature Lake house fizz cocktail and said it was well balanced and delicious. But his absolute favorite was creme Brule dessert! Kid-friendliness: High chair was provided

Despite obviously being in the minority, we were quite disappointed with our visit. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was how loud it was, and we werent the only ones, because we overheard a group of women beside us commenting that they had asked to be moved from an even noisier area! Although our order was taken and our mocktails arrived fairly quickly, we then had an overly long wait of about 30 minutes before our food arrived. As for our food, the chicken Caesar, hummus, and falafels were quite tasty, but the red pepper dip consisted largely of cream cheese - which we found much too thick and rich. We would have much preferred another authentic vegetable-based Mediterranean meze. Parking: They have a large parking lot - although I read that it is sometimes not large enough.

Our anniversary. Second year back. Sadly, my food was cold and my wifes octopus was not cooked well. They offered to reheat mine but I said it was okay as the portion was small and was half done already. I had the braised ribs. My wife said nothing but the food quality after spending over $300 will make us think twice about going back for a third anniversary. They did offer free dessert and coffee and the server and atmosphere were great but the food, it was not. If not for the server I would offer less stars but I went for the food so 3 stars is fair... We came back as they offered me a gc after the last experience. Everything was great. No issues.

Took my wife for dinner here and had one of the worse dining experiences of our lives. We have travelled extensively and eaten at many restaurants globally. This was not our first time to this restaurant and as the previous experience was more positive we decided to try it again. However, the customer behind us was a very common and boisterous male with his partner and he was constantly using obscene language and speaking very loudly about in his opinion the ridiculous prices. Instead of dealing with this customer the servers and manager on duty ignored his behaviour. The restaurant really needs to vet their customers better in the best interest of all their customers, as this person was very disruptive to many customers around. We skipped dessert and could not wait to leave. Our date night was truly ruined because of poor customer management.

The service was great. Brandon was attentive all night to us and management checked in a few times. Gave him a 5 * My husband thoroughly enjoyed the tomato basil soup. My salmon crab cakes were a bit dry for my liking, however the aoili was nice on it. Our siblings had the brie which looked goos. We saw reviews to get the paella for 2 so we decided to try it. For $110 dish, it was rich and the amount of food could feed four; however there was no bold flavour and every bite we were saying something was missing. Muscles were dried out in the dish, scallop was the best part. I was disappointed for the price point and miss on the dish. We fine dine quite often, so this was a bummer for our anniversary dinner on the dish. I wanted to be wowed from the reviews we read on that post. Our company liked their short beef rib and cod, they looked very nice. Best part of the night was the patachio crushed cheese cake topped with baklava. Atmosphere I gave a 4/5, we were tucked in an corner which was better for noise level but walking and arriving I found it quite noiser than I thought for $$$ but nice views .

Have been coming here since 2018. The food is still pretty great but I would have to say the service, speed, and atmosphere have gone down a bit. The host is the first person you see and they should always greet you with a smile. That has not been the case the past few visits. There was food on the floor as we walked to our table and beside us. It was cleaned up during our visit but for a higher end restaurant I would expect it to be cleaned more promptly. We went for lunch at 1 in the afternoon. It wasn t overly busy but it was still almost 10minutes before someone came to take drink orders. Again the food was excellent but the overall experience has gone down.
