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 Bistro feels like a genuine neighborhood gathering place rather than a restaurant designed only…read morefor visitors. Each time I stopped in, the atmosphere was energetic, casual, and welcoming. I felt completely comfortable dining alone. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without constantly interrupting my meal. I was especially impressed by how involved the management was. The general manager actively worked the room, assisted the staff, and took time to speak with guests instead of remaining behind the scenes. The chicken Parmesan was excellent. The breaded chicken was crisp outside but still tender and juicy, with a savory marinara and just enough melted cheese. The pasta was cooked properly, and the accompanying garlic bread was crunchy around the edges while remaining soft inside. The generous serving provided plenty of leftovers. The strawberry basil margarita was refreshing and well balanced, with enough fruit flavor to be interesting without becoming overly sweet. For dessert, the peanut butter pie had a wonderfully smooth, creamy texture and a rich flavor that never felt excessive. The onion ring tower is also worth ordering, especially for a group. The rings are thick, crispy, well seasoned, and clearly prepared fresh. It would be far too much for most solo diners, so plan to share. Although the restaurant is not directly on the waterfront, the patio and some tables offer views of Lake Oconee. There is ample free parking, and the regular live music and special events add to the lively local atmosphere. Lake Oconee Bistro has earned a place on my list whenever I return to the area.

Beautiful Setting, Disappointing Service…read more We frequent this restaurant because the venue itself is a great place to spend time. Unfortunately, the food has consistently been mediocre, and today's brunch was no exception. What really prompted this review, though, was the service. At her meal-arrival check-in, I told our server that we were missing a side item, and she acknowledged it. At the end of the meal, after the entrée had been eaten, I again confirmed that the side had never arrived. Since it was too late to receive the item, I asked whether they would consider taking a percentage off the bill. Rather than addressing my request or apologizing for the oversight, the server asked my dining companion whether he would prefer the missing item packaged to go. That was an odd assumption; not only that he should be the one to decide, but that he was necessarily the person paying for the inadequate meal. The bigger issue is that when a customer expresses dissatisfaction, the server should listen, apologize, and, involve management to determine how to make the situation right. At minimum, an apology would have gone a long way; unfortunately, none was offered. With the prices being charged and the food being only so-so, this restaurant really needs to capitalize on what it does have going for it, the beautiful setting. By making the service experience exceptional, a lot of faults could be overlooked. We enjoy coming here and would love to see the restaurant do better.

We caught it right as Hurricane Isaias was rolling in, which gave the lake a beautiful, moody ambiance. For the main event, I gobbled up the Bolognese from Amore del Lago--rigatoni with heavy Mariana. (I hope you get the joke! ) CJ and Will gave attentive and amazing service.

We came here for dinner and had made a reservation for 2 people a few weeks prior. It was wide open…read moreat the time, but was pretty full as the time got closer. We decided last minute to join some friends who already had a reservation so they canceled ours and added us to our friends with no issue. It was hard to understand why the reservation system showed little availability as the restaurant was half empty. May be they were short staffed. We were seated in their fully enclosed patio at a low table (there were high tops as well). Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and offered up the specials from memory. We started with the focaccia, which I highly recommend! Everyone at our table thought it was the best they've had. It came with a whipped ricotta and olive tapenade, both of which were excellent! For my entree, I had the carnivora pizza which was perfectly cooked. Thin and slightly crunchy, there were not a ton of toppings that overwhelmed the crust, which was good in this case. The calabrian chiles gave it a nice kick and made the meal for me! My only issue was that they got my leftovers mixed up so when I opened them the next morning, it was not my food!
