Atmosphere and service were great. We enjoyed the fried food and the coleslaw! The lake erie walleye was very tasty but it was too buttery/oily when paired with the succotash.
I recently celebrated a birthday at The Lakehouse in Cleveland, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. To start, the chips and queso dip were a great way to ease into the meal. The queso was warm and velvety, with just enough kick to keep each bite interesting, and the chips were crisp and plentiful—ideal for sharing while we waited for our entrées. The pigs in a blanket were another standout appetizer. Often a simple dish, these were executed with finesse the bread was golden and crisp without a hint of burn, while the hotdog inside was perfectly cooked, juicy and warm. It’s rare to see such attention to detail in a comfort classic. For the main course, the Parmesan-crusted chicken stood out. The crust had a satisfying crunch and rich flavor, beautifully complemented by the house dressing that added a tangy, herbaceous lift. It was a pairing that felt thoughtfully composed. Service throughout the evening was top tier attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely warm. The staff made the birthday feel special without overdoing it, striking that perfect balance of celebration and relaxation.
I was a big fan of this restaurant!! The biscuits were delicious!!! I got the Magnolia short rib bowl which was a 10/10!! The vibes were solid with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Both on the patio and the "indoor patio" with the windows up. Check it out!
The atmosphere at The Lakehouse is light and airy, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. We started with the “Go Jump in the Lake” and “Spice and Slice” cocktails. Both drinks creative and delicious. For a starter, we ordered the potato chip bucket and were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and flavorful the dip was. For lunch, we tried the pepperoni flatbread, which had a delightful touch of honey on top, and the shrimp & crab Louie, which was packed with meat and had a great blend of flavors. I would definitely come back to try more from the menu. Overall, a great experience!
If you're looking for a good riverfront restaurant with good views and good food this is a great choice. The menu is on the small side but the variety and tastes are on the large side. Had the Short Rib French Dip and the South West Chopped Salad and both were big on flavor. The short rib was done perfectly sided with thin cut crispy fries. They carry good NA beers if you're looking for one too. But have a wide selection of creative cocktails and draft beers. The outside seating is on the river and that is fine visual entertainment. The service was quick and friendly. Overall a very good choice for a meal in the Flats of Cleveland.
