I am so happy The Lake House opened in the old Georgia Butts location. The setting right on the lake is peaceful and beautiful, and the interior is refreshed and very "gastropub." Next time I will sit outside on the deck facing the water. There is plenty of parking but every other time I have driven by, it seemed so busy we didn't stop in. This time we struck at 5pm and it was busy but not overly so. Celina was our very friendly and attentive waitress and she helped me with gluten free options. Five stars for Celina! I enjoyed the spiciness of my shrimp and grits, the cook on the shrimp, the sauce, and the sausage. I was disappointed that the grits were a little stiff and lumpy (this is the South y'all!) but overall it was a good meal. My husband's burger was cooked perfectly medium rare and he enjoyed it. The bar patrons seemed happy watching four screens of sports. Keep up the good food and great service!

Tacos and Cesar salad

Great food and view of the lake. We had mahi tacos and smash burger. The skinny margarita was yummy! Lots of tvs if you want to watch football games.

Caesar salad wrap and Parmesan fries

Amazing food! I got the Caesar salad wrap and Parmesan fries, and I already want to go back. Slower service, but everyone is really kind. Great views from the patio!

Food took forever and came out cold. Oddly, it wasn't that busy so I am curious as to the delay. Won't be back.

The best restaurant in Athens…read more Their menu is extremely creative and the presentation was beautiful. Their food was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious with a very unique combination of flavors. Their cocktails and wine and equally as impressive. A combination of ingredients you've never heard of (many of which are made in-house) and yet taste perfectly balanced. Service was excellent. Please try this place.

I was excited about this place with all the good reviews. Unfortunately the reviews IMHO do not…read morereflect my experience. The first thing that was disappointing was the service. It took me a while to get a drink. Started with some tapas, the mushrooms, the potato's and the dates. The mushrooms were good but over battered. Could even tell you were eating mushrooms. The potatoes were not fully soft and lacked salt and flavor. The tomato spread on top also lacked flavor. The dates and manchengo cheese was just werid in presentation and hard to eat. We had to order bread, not something I'm used to especially with the tapas. Ordered the branzino for 2. Others ordered the steak and pork chops. The steak came out cold and the pork chop was overcooked. The branzino was nice, but the sides were cold. One of our party ordered another beer which he did not get until I summoned the manger over. All in all- overrated Food-1.5 Ambiance-meh Service-1

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime. This is one of the best plates of nachos I have ever had, and I eat mexican a lot if you look at my reviews. I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

We ordered a pretty big spread of food including the dip trio, a few tacos, the brisket quesadilla, and some wings. The peach bourbon wings have a great flavor. I actually preferred those to the truffalo. The dip trio was great. The guac was very fresh and creamy. The queso had small chunks of peppers that I liked. I can see the appeal of this place for parents and students alike.

The hightop tables were a bit too high for us, but the other traditional seating was great with a candle at every table. We ordered all types of things. The pulpo (octopus) and baked mussels really stood out as our favorites. Owner/manager came out to speak with us. He and his staff clearly care about creating a great business with the best Spanish dishes in the area. Give this spot a try--you won't regret it!

The ambiance is classy while not being stuffy, with business casual dress code. All of the staff were welcoming and kind to us, from the hostess to our waitress to the food runners. We shared several tapas: paella verduras, Pulpo parrilla (grilled octopus), Pan con tomate, empanadas with beef, Calamares fritos (calamari) , Espárragos (asparagus), and Patatas bravas. Everything was absolutely delicious! One of my favorite items of the night was the bread with tomato (pan con tomate)! The bread was toasted perfectly and came with garlic and grated tomato to spread on it, along with a sprinkling of greens. My typical favorite at Spanish restaurants (patatas bravas) was done very well here too, with the right crunch and tasty sauces. The perfectly tender octopus came with a side of beans that I wished to ask for the recipe for because they were seasoned so nicely! The calamari was breaded lightly which allowed the natural flavors to shine. The beef empanadas were juicy and crisp. The asparagus was cooked to perfection. The vegetable paella was also filling and wonderful! We ended our meal with the toffee butter cake which was an absolute dream. We look forward to coming back for more!

Pine Bar is a small restaurant that has a variety of wines, mixed drinks and tapas. There are 2 outdoor patios, one covered and one uncovered and in an inside too. They take reservations as well, but we came around 6pm on a Wednesday and they weren't too busy. By 6:30pm, it started to pick up though! We came specifically for the happy hour. Which is 5-7pm and they $15 bottled wines and $1 off raw oysters. We were promptly seated on the patio when we arrived, given water for us and our pup that had joined us. We started off with drinks and a dozen oysters, let me say these oysters were very good and they give you everything you need to eat with them. I wonder if the saltine crackers are homemade! Next we ordered 3 different tapas: the cauliflower, hummus and slider trio. All were super delicious! Overall my experience at The Pine Bar was spectacular and I'm pretty sure I'll be a regular in the future!

If the prices were more reasonable, they'd have at least a 4-star review from me... but I was…read morescratching my head at how much I ended up spending here. Service was objectively fine but felt a little superficial... pacing of dishes was also off. Food was good, but again, underwhelming for the price. Parking is impossible in the location.
