This place has improved drastically. We went right when they opened and like any new restaurant, they had some places to grow and improve in. We went again last week and it was so great, we went again this week. The service has improved drastically and the food has improved as well. My chicken sandwich was great and the fries were hot and fresh. My husband got the steak frites and it was wonderful as well. We sat on the patio and couldn't have asked for a better night. The cocktails are also new and always changing and very reasonably priced. We /are going back tonight ! It's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

First time at the Lake Break Restaurant We had a reservation and were seated right away. The area was chilly and the hostess immediately accommodated our request to move. We ended up upstairs which was great. The restaurant is very comfortable and not overly noisy even in the bar area where we were seated. I had the Marg10 which is a mocktail w/ non alcoholic tequila, simple syrup, lime, and Agave. Not good We had the calamari and the coconut shrimp and they were fantastic. Really good. Waitress was nice not super attentive but did the job. My wife and I both ordered the surf and turf (steak, lobster, mashed potatoes, carrots.) The steak was super tender but so undercooked it would be considered blue. Generally the mean was served cold. The lobster was delicious. The potatoes were good (I generally don't order mashed potatoes) and the carrots were tasty just a bit overcooked. My wife's plate as similar. When the manager came over after I said something he was very accommodating and was a great guy. I'll go back based on this alone. It's hard to judge a place on just one meal. Our friends had the fish and chips and the sea bass and both liked their meals. Was a little disappointed by the food was impressed by the service. It's worth the try but don't get the mocktail I did. read more

If you're craving a coastal escape but your yacht is stuck in a Utah snowdrift, **Lake Break** in Daybreak's Northshore is the next best thing--think nautical chic meets "what if a yacht club opened next to a man-made lake in the desert." I ordered what appeared to be their take on **lobster eggs Benedict**, but with a landlocked twist: a golden, flaky croissant base (because why settle for an English muffin when you can have laminated pastry?), topped with a poached egg that's somehow both fluffy and structurally sound, a generous shower of sharp cheddar, and then drowned in a hollandaise so rich and speckled it could double as a luxury body lotion. It was decadent, borderline scandalous, and absolutely delicious. The side salad of peppery arugula, crisp radish, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes provided just enough virtue to keep the guilt at bay--like bringing a kale smoothie to a champagne brunch. The vibe? Immaculate. White tableware gleaming against the bright, breezy space, with those big windows and patio promising lake views that make you forget you're nowhere near an ocean. It's upscale-casual with a fun yacht-club energy--perfect for pretending you're on vacation while your HOA fees quietly judge you from afar. Service was warm and efficient, the kind that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. And in a place called "Lake Break," they clearly understand the assignment: break from the ordinary, but keep the portions generous enough that you won't need a rescue boat afterward. **Verdict:** 4.5/5 life preservers. Go for brunch, stay for the hollandaise-induced euphoria, and maybe order one of those beachy cocktails to complete the illusion. Just don't tell your cardiologist about the croissant Benedict. Lake Break is exactly what Daybreak needed: a little coastal swagger in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley. Anchors aweigh... or at least, anchors optional. read more

I agree with some of the other reviews about this place still figuring our who they are. It's got a cool vibe and a lot of potential, once they nail things down a little. I enjoyed my salmon and Brussels Sprouts and my friend absolutely adored the Malibu Barbie drink. I'm really excited for the weather to get warm and the patio to open....and I hope they move the giant boat out of the way of the lake view. I get it-that's the brand- but it really just looks like an eyesore on the sidewalk. I'll be interested to see how things progress over there. read more

Had a great experience at Lake Break! The atmosphere is beautiful with amazing lake views and a fun coastal vibe that feels unique for Utah. The food was fresh and flavorful, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. It's a great spot for dinner with friends or family, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in Daybreak! read more

This restaurant has a beautiful ambiance. It truly feels like a little piece of the sea brought to Utah. The owners clearly poured a lot of love into every detail, from the nautical décor to the warm, welcoming vibe. The Captain's Quarters is a standout spot for drinks and relaxing with friends. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place you'll want to come back to. I will definitely be coming back with friends to try new things read more

From the start, you feel like you're in a different vibe. The decor is great, and very yacht coded! The food is great, and the drinks were delicious. Very server has been so great every time we have gone there to eat. read more

I had a few concerns going into this restaurant. Big one being the variety of options they offer such as fish, burgers, tacos, poke bowl, Mac and cheese, some pasta, and steaks. With no food identity, makes it hard to think that food will be consistent. And I was partially correct. Fries came out cold and a steak my table ordered came out very well done when ordered medium. Also food never came out hot or even a hot/warm. Just about everything came out cold or cold/warm. And then felt under seasoned, bland, and too comparable to other places that use the same cheaper food supplier such as Sysco. The only things I found worth while was the clam chowder and the lobster roll. Another concern being the inconsistent menu prices. Some stuff felt reasonable like burgers and Mac and cheese but with half the menu being overpriced such as the shrimp cocktail for $22 for 5 shrimp and a "sunset menu" that seems to be at least $50 a plate. Feels like there is no identity. As for the decor, was very nice and felt like a modern type lake side restaurant that has the post-ability for social media. The service has much to be improved. I can tell the servers and bartenders are doing their best, especially the bartender who was running around taking tables, making cocktails and running food. But it felt disorganized, food being run to the wrong tables, and felt understaffed with how much the 1 bartender and 1 server were running around. After 2 months, I thought the place would be more staffed and more organized. Ill give it the benefit if the doubt since it is still early in its lifetime Now for the problem I had the most. I booked a reservation for a valentine's day lunch. Not to celebrate valentine's day specifically, because we had already celebrated the date. This was more for a lunch to try a restaurant that I have had my eye on since I heard about it and before it had opened. I evenly waited a couple months so they can figure out the new restaurant tweaks. When we go in and sit down, we are only given a Valentine's day set menu. Not what we expected since we were wanting to look at the actual menu and try what we wanted. We had to ask for those everyday menus and then when the server brought them, they specifically said to expect a longer wait since they are prepared for the set menu. We then go online and find out they didn't have any notice of a set menu when we booked the lunch and then the website doesnt advertise it unless u specifically go to the events tab. I then start to notice that tables sat after us have the same thing happen. Only given the set menu for the day and having to ask for the other menus and the server saying the same thing. Feeling like they are almost trying to make people order from that menu instead of their everyday menu. With little to no advertising of a set menu and servers pushing the set menu instead of offering what people actually want is not what I want to support. If you are gonna do a set menu, either only do that and tell me as they come on, not after they sit down when they dont know and advertise it more. Dont offer both and only push 1. I've done my time working in restaurants and this isn't customer friendly. I really wanted this place to be good. But it was just a big let down. read more

Like others, I really wanted to love this place because it's not too far from home and lobster rolls (one of my favorites) are on the menu. We went on a weekday afternoon, so the restaurant wasn't too busy or crowded, and we enjoyed the sunny space on a cold day. The staff members were very friendly and attentive, and we appreciated a managerial gentleman periodically checking on us. Honestly, though, we found the menu offerings to be overpriced, especially the sides. The deal-breaker for me is that, as spelled out in their menu, they cook everything in 100% beef tallow. As a pescatarian, I should have known better than to eat a few of the house made chips. I got sick the minute I got home. I'm not sure why a restaurant wouldn't use a mainstream, healthier oil to prepare food. Unfortunately, we won't be back. UPDATE: While I very much appreciated the business owners' response to my concern, I just discovered a possible reason for the use of beef tallow when I read a NPR news feed. RFK advised followers to use this in place of healthier seed oils, in spite of all experts and actual data indicating this is absolutely not healthy. Scary when politics appears to invade what we're eating. read more

First timer... it was ok. Ambiance was great.. love the coastal vibe and openness of the restaurant. Service was great and attentive. Had the cheese curd appetizer, wasn't my favorite. Clam chowder was good, we shared some steak-and that was ok was a little tough. For the price, I would not go there for steak. In my opinion, Market Street's clam chowder is better. Maybe there is a specialty of theirs that makes this a go to or the convenience it's daybreak but it's not a go to I would recommend as a first choice. read more

Food was ok, but service was not great. It was busy, but not CRAZY. We sat for a while before I finally had to ask for help. No one seemed to know who we belonged to.. not even the hostess who sat us (they also barely looked up as we stood at the host stand- talking to each other and FINALLY acknowledged us). Food took forever to come out, even just a cup of soup. Chicken Milanese was burnt and scallops were cold. Menu was all over the place (prices and offerings). I think they would really knock it out of the park if they could focus on doing a few things really well, and train up the staff. It feels like it's too much for everyone to handle. read more

Food was not good, got the breakfast burrito and ate maybe a third. A Betos burrito would have been way more satisfying for half the price. Our server Josh was extremely slow, definitely not worth the money. The only thing this place has going for them is the lake view read more

Great atmosphere! Service was good, drink and food were good. BUT...It took 1.5+ hour to get our food. This was a problem for them, people left before food came (giving up), I could hear multiple tables complaining and how long it was taking to receive their meals. I really hope they get it together, word is spreading and people will go somewhere else.. We will give it another try in a month or so to give the place another chance. read more

Unfortunately this place was a total disappointment. I took my mom for Mother's Day dinner. Reservation and seating was the only impressive part of the meal. After placing our order, two in my party waited over 40 minutes for clam chowder. Chowder was fine, but by the time it came to the table it was barely warm. After another 30 minutes our meals finally showed up. The lobster roll I had heard was so great, was ok in taste but the size was disappointing for the price and the side of fries were lukewarm when they arrived. My husband shrimp dish was fine but not warm either.the worst part was that our waiter never stopped in to acknowledge the wait. I was super excited when this restaurant came to the neighborhood, but I won't be back. read more

Won't be returning here. Possibly be the most horrible dining experience I've had in Utah.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Got there at 6:24 tonight and we were promptly seated and got our orders in. Burgers, chicken sandwiches. Uncomplicated good food. By 7:48 my family and I were sick of being told they're still working on your meals back there so we said we were leaving but thank you. The server asked if we would speak to the manager before leaving and not wanting her to be blamed for the restaurants overall incompetence we waited. The manager came and said "yeah sorry the kitchens backed up but you should be the next ticket." We're quickly approaching an hour and half waiting for our orders and we're told yea sorry but We're almost to your order. Surely a manager of a restaurant has more skills and ability to offer some sort of hospitality. We were still leaving but an offer to return or to comp a portion of the meal if we did stay. Yea sorry it's backed up after waiting over an hour, babes, we're leaving, but thanks for telling us the obvious. We walked out and went to Harmons to get some things and walked home to cook up dinner at home. It's now 8:05 as I post this and I'm sure they still wouldn't have gotten to our food. Lost over an hour of my life to this dump tonight, but "oh yea they're just about to get to your order." read more

We have been so excited for this to open and it did not disappoint! I took my kids too which was so nice that they had food my kids will actually eat like Mac and cheese and fries and food for my husband and I. The fish tacos are some of the best I've ever had and I've lived and traveled all over the world. We also got a cocktail for me (coconut mojito was amazing) and mocktail for my daughter. My daughter loved her mocktail too. I didn't get great pictures of the food because we ate it too fast! The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back time and time again. This is exactly what Daybreak needed! read more

Update: I gave this restaurant another try -- partly because I live across the street, and partly because I remain stubbornly optimistic. Unfortunately, the experience was mostly the same. And to confirm we weren't being dramatic, we ran into old friends while we were there -- and they said they've had the exact same experience. It's the kind of night that's frustrating while you're living it, and weirdly funny later when you're retelling it. We arrived at 7:15 PM for our reservation and chose to sit upstairs in the bar area instead of the main dining room (the lighting downstairs is still very bright... like "fine dining meets office fluorescents"). Upstairs was quieter, but we were seated at a booth with a very small, flimsy table, which wasn't ideal for an actual dinner setup. Our server was genuinely great -- friendly, attentive, and doing their best -- but the overall experience unraveled quickly. We ordered Prosecco, and it arrived without an ice bucket. One eventually showed up... but it was a large plastic orange bucket, and by then the food had taken so long that we'd nearly finished the bottle. When the food finally came out, it was disappointing overall: Lobster roll: soggy and not prepared as described on the menu (it specifically mentioned grilled lemon, which is what sold me). French dip: the menu listed horseradish, but it tasted more like a mild mayo-based spread -- no heat, no real punch -- and the sandwich itself was tough, like it had been sitting out. Fries: cold. We arrived at 7:15 PM and didn't leave until 10:30 PM, and not because we were lingering. It was simply that slow. Also... and I say this with love... why does this place have five menus? That might be part of the problem. It feels like nobody here has watched The Bear and absorbed the concept of "do fewer things, but do them really well." Yes, chef... please simplify. And here's the frustrating part: I want to love this place. I live across the street and was genuinely excited when it opened. I travel a lot, and what usually pulls me into a restaurant is ambience, lighting, and a well-curated menu -- especially a strong appetizer menu. This location has so much potential, but right now it feels like the restaurant hasn't fully decided what it wants to be. The menu is all over the place -- Mexican, seafood, burgers, mac and cheese, Thai salad, French salad, plus a "sunset" menu with elevated pricing. It reads less like one cohesive concept and more like a little bit of everything (which can work... but only when it's executed with consistency). The space has that same "still being figured out" energy. The lighting is extremely bright and inconsistent throughout, and the number of TVs makes it hard to tell whether the goal is sports bar, bistro, elevated restaurant... or all three at once. The décor also feels like it hasn't been edited down to a clear vision yet -- lots of shades of blue, different chair styles, mixed metals, and mass-produced-looking art. It doesn't feel layered or intentional; it just feels unfinished. The bar area looked cluttered and not especially functional, and some of the seating felt a little unstable (which isn't exactly the vibe you want when you're settling in for dinner and drinks). Food-wise, based on what we've tried, it leans more "bar food" than what the pricing and space suggest. The $29 charcuterie board, in particular, didn't match the description or the price point -- more snack plate than charcuterie. That said: there are positives. The bartender was excellent -- friendly, skilled, and the most polished part of the experience. And the clam chowder was genuinely good, which proves the kitchen can absolutely deliver when it locks in. I'm sharing this because I truly want this place to succeed. It's in a great location and could be a neighborhood go-to with a little more clarity and consistency: simplify the menu, pick an identity, soften the lighting, and edit the space so it feels cohesive. I'll be back -- because I live here and I'm rooting for it. I just hope the next visit feels less like a restaurant still workshopping its concept and more like a place that knows exactly who it is. read more

Absolutely the best place to eat in daybreak, quite frankly in Utah!! I'm a coastal girl so I'm very picky about sea food and this place has fresh and delicious food! Even if you're not a seafood fan they have some beautiful other options. Casual lunch, perfect fun menu with a great vibe for brunch, and a wonderful dinner experience! The service goes above and beyond every expectation. Our server was so great it maked the experience so much more fun and elevated. Such a cute open patio with a fire place right next to the water. I can go on and on about my love for this place. A MUST to visit! read more

I was really looking forward to eating here. They just opened in December and it looked like it would be an awesome spot. Unfortunately, the service felt untrained. Our server didn't know the specials or what ingredients were in the drinks, which made things a bit awkward. The biggest disappointment was that the food came out cold. We ordered nachos, and my mom's main course was cold as well. The ahi taco was actually pretty good, and our drinks were solid, but overall the experience didn't live up to the expectations. The ambiance was a little plain. The bar area was cool and the plates were nice, but overall the space felt very basic. We booked VIP tables expecting something a bit more special, but it didn't feel any different from regular seating, which was misleading based on the reservation. Hoping this improves as they get more time to settle in. read more

The fish and chips were excellent - lightly breaded and well seasoned. Accompanying fries were delicious. Others had hamburgers that were big, well cooked, and tasty. Pretzel boat had generous portions and were hot and good tasting. Service was excellent (Silas). Facility was clean, well maintained, and bright. Parking is a bit limited but enjoyed the walk by the lake. We will definitely return. read more

This venue recently opened here in our neighborhood but it was my first visit. I ordered the plank salmon with coconut rice and Brussels sprouts. The salmon was done perfectly and the sides were delicious. I forgot to take a picture but it was very well presented. I paired it with a light Chardonnay and it was perfect. I thought the service was great and the decor was cute. This was a great experience. read more

I have MCAS, so finding food that's truly fresh and doesn't trigger symptoms is honestly really difficult. The chef here was incredibly accommodating and willing to make adjustments to ingredients and preparation, which meant a lot to me. You can tell they actually care about the quality of the food and the people eating it. They've also fixed the lighting recently, which made the space feel much more comfortable and welcoming. Service is a little on the slower side right now, but it feels like the kind of place that's still dialing things in. With a little time, I think it'll become much more efficient and polished. Overall, this place has real potential. Give it some time -- it's clear the restaurant is moving in the right direction and is going to be very good. read more

For a new restaurant with a few kinks to work out, the food did not disappoint. I started with the French onion soup with a rich bone broth and a good amount of Gruyère cheese. For my entree I had the pappardelle with meatballs, which were so light and flavorful. The pasta was cooked to perfection. It was so filling that I had lunch with my leftovers. My husband had the steak frites which was tender, juicy and just as he asked for. The fries were delicious. The best entree was had by our friend. It was the scallops!! Tender, sweet and over the moon delicious accompanied by Parmesan risotto which could not have been any better. We cannot wait to go back. With such an extensive menu, it will be quite a while before I have to repeat anything. And I forgot to mention the live music. What a wonderful night!! read more

Lake Break Restaurant - View from the restaurant. - Tacos Near Me - South Jordan, Utah

I was genuinely excited for this restaurant to open. We've been hoping for a new, fun spot in Daybreak, and I really wanted this to be it. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. The overall concept feels unclear. It seems like multiple ideas came together without a unified vision, which resulted in a space that lacks cohesion. An experienced interior designer could have helped create a more intentional and polished atmosphere. In particular, the bar layout didn't feel functional, and the space didn't quite deliver on the "elevated" experience it appears to be aiming for. The menu was fine, but fairly basic for what's presented as an upscale concept. There is also a separate, more expensive menu, which felt confusing rather than complementary. The food overall was average--nothing bad, but nothing memorable. The lighting was another challenge. It was extremely bright, to the point that it made it hard to relax and enjoy the space. Lastly, selling branded swag felt out of place for a restaurant positioning itself as elevated, and it detracted from the overall experience. That said, the bartender was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and a definite bright spot in the visit. read more

I was not impressed with this restaurant. The vibe is unwelcomimg. We waited twenty minutes for fries. Fries, we never received. My husband did order a drink before the fries and did receive it. Our bartender did apologize and spoke with the manager, who did not care at all. He completely disregarded us. Service overall was awful. Not worth the visit. read more

Went her the other night with my wife and kids. The kids devoured the mac n cheese and French fries. I had the nachos and they were surprisingly good for having homemade chips. We split some fish tacos! Food was great. Loved the atmosphere and setting. Oh and the cocktails were nice to be able to get ! Great experience and looking forward to going back. read more

This is not the first restaurant of the owner.... so the lack of communication between front of house and the kitchen is shockingly bad - even for a new restaurant. If you dont have half of your menu, print a temporary menu, or at a the very least inform your wait staff what is not available. Four things we ordered later became unavailable, waited an hour for food, ate things we'd prefer not to (fried) because nothing else was available and we had waited so long, we were starving read more

I heard great things from all the ladies of Daybreak about how wonderful the food is at this restaurant. After trying it for myself, I wouldn't feed this food to my dogs. read more

In this review I'll start with service. There was 3 in our party and when we entered we were greeted and welcomed in. I had to ask where to go. The hostess was quiet and didn't know where to sit us in a virtually empty restaurant. After seating it took almost 15 minutes to get a waitress to visit us. We almost walked out. The ambiance is nice and open. It's modern with the beachy touch it seemed they were going for. Now the food on the other hand was not what we expected, especially for the price. My wife and I ordered salmon with rice and Brussels sprouts. The salmon was very overcooked, and had a raunchy fishy taste to it. The rice was bland, dry and cold. The Brussels sprouts were trying to be okay but overcooked too and had that bitter burnt taste. We also ordered a starter, Calamari. It wasn't worth the extreme price, it was a bit tough, and stringy. We didn't finish it and left very unsatisfied and hungry. Nothing here would bring me back at this point. read more

The Christmas cranberry margarita was amazing, and I did enjoy the salmon. However, way too many menus. To start, take off the items you can order at the break. As others have mentioned, the space feels far too bright and the furniture choices are very mismatched. Please dim the lights for dinner. And the navy and white rattan chairs don't quite work in the space. If the goal is an upscale dining experience, the restaurant would benefit from a more moody, cohesive vibe--perhaps incorporating navy tones by painting one or two walls. An experienced interior designer could really help elevate the atmosphere. read more

Open only a few weeks so give this place a chance to grow on you. The food was excellent. I had to try the clam chowder and it was awesome...very rich and tasty. served thicker than most packed with clams. Service was amazing...the bartender whipped up some fabulous cocktails...I stayed with the mimosas.
