The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Our server was very accommodating to us. The price was reasonable for the portioned provided. There's a limited menu but that is a good thing. Focus on what you cook well. Happy hour provided some good deals. read more

Food very good. Attentive service. The decor for special events/holidays very nice. Owners very friendly.

Ferrante's Lakeview was easy to work with, and they were extremely accommodating. I could not have asked for a better experience. It was short notice, and they made changes to the menu exactly as I asked. The room was tastefully decorated, and there was plenty of room. read more

I have never been to Lakeview for an event or for regular dinner/lunch this review is for their Mother's Day brunch they hold annually. My father and I decided to give the place a try two years ago to treat my mother on her day and none of us were disappointed! The food was great, served buffet style complete with salad, carving station, along with chicken, fish and beef options as well as pasta. Decorations are nice and the room brunch was held in was light and bright. Service was good and they even have special cocktails that are tasty. The three of us went again this past Mother's Day and it was just as good. We will plan to treat my mother to brunch next year as well. I recommend making reservations early! I dropped the ball this past year but luckily they were able to squeeze our reservation in last minute. read more

Due to Covid, we had to postpone (twice) which wasn't ideal but nothing anyone could do. We were rescheduled for this August, a year later, but with no guarantee that we will be able to have our wedding we called to cancel our reservation...5 months in advance. When asking about a refund of our deposit, they deflected and said it was too close to the date. They tried telling us they could accommodate 400 people, but originally they could hold 250 at this time last year. The original contract included open bar, our own photographer, and our own DJ. When rescheduling they told us we could not have any of this. Talking to them today they told us they never said any of that. They go back and forth on their word and make things very confusing. Going through this for an average at best venue is not worth it and we cancelled. I do not recommend working with these people for your special day. read more

This may be the worst place I have ever seen to have a wedding. Firstly, the facility, there were weeds growing throughout all of the plants. There was also a random and very tacky Statute of Liberty (holding a light bulb and not a torch) near the gazebo. The ballroom had a musty smell and the carpets looked worn. The bathrooms were dark and dingy and smelled like a Steeler game just let out. The lighting was very dark and made taking pictures very difficult inside. It also was very hot in the ballroom and it seemed that it got hotter as the party was getting closer to the end (maybe they turned the air off). Second, the gazebo, being that is was an outdoor wedding ceremony you would have thought that there would have been a sound system that had speakers outside of the gazebo. But not this place. The only "sound system" were the speakers in the ceiling of the gazebo. With Route 30 only a short distance away, being able to hear the ceremony was impossible. Also there were bees and all kind of other insects flying around. Thank God no one was stung. Thirdly, the food, the appetizers were nothing special. They were basically frozen food that was either deep fried or just reheated. They were not very warm either. The dinner choices were Chicken Romano and Tilapia. I had the Chicken Romano. It was very dry. So dry that one person at my table asked for gravy, when the manager, Suzie Domasky, brought out a butter sauce the person said I hope this helps because this chicken is very dry. The manager's reply was I hope so. After the wedding, I was so hungry that we went to Wendy's for a chicken sandwich that was so much moister and had better taste. How sad is that? Finally, the staff, at best they were not responsive to the guests needs. At the rehearsal no one from this place was there. The buildings were locked and no rest room facilities were available for use during the rehearsal. The manager, in her Mercedes, stopped by for a few minutes as the bridal party arrived, but did not stay or help out with anything. Being someone who worked over 5 years (through High School and College) working banquets/weddings I have an understanding of what the staff should be doing. The manager acted as if she was being bothered when asked any question. The minister asked if there is a lectern available, and the manager asked if he brought one. Guess he should keep one in his pocket. The one she brought out had no holder for the microphone and had "Lakeview" written on it. He did not use it. The waitresses were just rude. During the ceremony, the waitresses were putting water glasses at each table and spilled water on many of the seats and then had to recover each of the seats. I guess they didn't realize that you could move the glass away from the table when pouring the water. When clearing the dishes they just reached in and grabbed the dishes and never excused themselves nor asked if anyone was finished (not that the food was edible). After dinner they brought coffee around but when they walked around to see if anyone wanted another cup they just walked around holding the pot never stopping at the table to ask if anyone wanted more. When they were serving the cake (there was white and chocolate cakes) they never asked what you wanted, they just tossed it in front of you like you would throw food down in front of a stray dog. The Maid of Honor asked for coffee with her cake and was told that she could not have any now. The waitress attitude was let's get everything out so we can go home. In these times with high unemployment they should be grateful to have a job. The only staff that had any manners what so ever was the bartender. He was attentive and quick to help. Needless to say, I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you are planning a wedding or any other event here good luck. This place is a joke. read more

My now husband and I chose Ferrante's Lakeview as our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception venue and we are totally pleased! We live 3 hours away in the Dc/Maryland/Virginia area, so we only came twice in person to go over details and what not. The rest, we did via E-Mail with Suzie. They provided mostly everything we needed at a very affordable cost! I was a little worried about the location being so close to a main road-but the gazebo area was kind of isolated away from it all, and I didn't even notice! Plus, our pictures had a great backdrop :). Suzie and Cindy were very helpful with everything, and the whole wedding went without a hitch! I highly recommend this venue for anyone who's getting married! read more

My daughter's wedding reception was held at Lakeview on May 24th. We couldn't have asked for anything to be different or better. From the beginning Susan and Cindy were helpful, responsive, took great notes and all our requests were accommodated. They answered all phone calls in a timely manner. Our decor choices were put together beautifully and the food was amazing. All our guests complimented the food. The staff was friendly and efficient. We were in the Lakeside room on a beautiful evening, and the little patio tables, gazebo and lake made our guests feel so comfortable. They could be inside with the music or outside getting a little breeze, surrounded by potted flowers and twinkle lights, having a quiet conversation. Because of Susan, Cindy and Lakeview, my daughter absolutely had the wedding of her dreams! I highly recommend them. read more

My wife met with Cindy to plan our wedding reception. She was very helpful. She walked her through all of the decisions that needed to be made. They have four rooms to choose from, depending on your needs. We chose the Lakeside room. We really liked the layout of the room, the location of the bar & DJ, and the direct access to the lake and gazebo. They have many options for room decorations and centerpieces, as well as an extensive menu to choose from. We stopped in for lunch before booking to try the food. Everything was great! We also had friends that had their reception there a few weeks before our wedding and they loved it as well! The night of our reception, Cindy and Suzie did a great job taking care of us and our guests! They were very attentive, staying the whole evening to make sure things went smoothly. Just as we expected, the chicken romano and stuffed pork chops were delicious! The bartender and wait staff were very professional and helpful. We highly recommend having your reception or other event at Lakeview! read more
