Not fine dining per se but an exceptionally fine experience that makes the hike to Salem County entirely worth the petrol. A cozy, picturesque location offers a "greatest hits" liquor-first menu of burgers, steaks, chops with Asian-fusion afterburners. Certainly not what I was expecting but I really liked the mash-up. In an age of overly weened, focus group inspired restaurant concepts, there's always a place for a true original. Five easy stars for the Lake House. read more

The view and atmosphere and 5/5, absolutely beautiful. The people who gave this anything over a 2/5 have no conception of what good food is supposed to be: so please be mindful of reading 5/5 reviews as their drone/bot/npc opinion means nothing to those who have that appreciation and understanding of what good food is supposed to be. If you're someone looking for an elevated dining experience, namely entrees and appetizers that don't taste like bland sysco/big distributor bundles, this is not the place for you. If they are not using big distributors, then they have bigger issues to worry about because the food is honestly not good and overpriced; one shouldn't pay that much money for inferior food. The "brown butter" gnocchi dish was a 4/10 and seemed out of place with the other items on the confusing menu (no real theme or pattern to the food offered). The service was horrendous too, in case you were wondering. To the owner or managers who should have/should be doing this: go sit at every table and order food if the menu; notice the little problems at each: the chairs being too narrow on the patio (i'm not even a chud so idk how heavier folks manage this), the tables being not level, the soggy Caesar salads and appetizers falling off the cheap plates that are too small/the wrong shape for the food item....get a notepad and write down the issues. Little things like this influence your guests stay and experience and it is not difficult to fix them. There is such potential at this place and the owners need to get better, elevated, and high quality items on the menu with real chefs to see it through. I would not recommend this place to anyone, but if you're a bot you'll love it. read more

Went there on a Thursday night. Second time here. Very cute and cozy place. They still have Christina's decorations which was nice! We sat at the patio and while it was "heated" my friend's and my feet were FROZEN! The flounder on the specials was soooooo good!!! And so was the crab dip!!! read more

The views from the outdoor seating sets a great backdrop to a delicious meal. They have scheduled night for DJ's & trivia nights which is great for the community. Some our meal was misunderstood but the meal still turned out well and we flowed with the waiter. The bread & mixed oil they start you off with is perfect starter. The oil has an Italian vibe with no pepper flakes. Broccoli cheddar soup is a full hearty bowl and pairs nicely with the flakey bread. We were impressed with the chicken tender and how perfectly fried they were. The garlic green beans were the highlight of our meal. They have a kick of flavor with a crunchy snap. Inside is beautiful and there's many places to sit and enjoy your time at The Lake House read more

We were seated in the most gorgeous area outdoors. We had a sunset view and water view. The service was surprisingly fast and welcoming! I absolutely loved the food . My favorite dish was the baked porkchop. We also ordered the calamari and T-bone steak( all well made and delicious). The bisque soup was very thick and flavorful and the drinks were tastey but I cannot say they were the best I've had. We will absolutely be back! read more

We came for Father's Day 2026 and great seating and atmosphere. Excellent mozzarella triangles. I would call for reservations which is easier then online. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Also try to get outside seating. It's beautiful with a bar and live music. Perfect for family and great for lunch or dinner. They have two bars, one inside and one outside. read more

Food is VERY good, drink menu good, service EXCELLENT. Second time dining, enjoy sitting on the outside deck overlooking the lake.

First time eating at the Lakehouse Restaurant and both my husband and I were delighted. Our server, Dalton was incredibly attentive and pleasant. By himself, I would leave 5 stars but the atmosphere was also lovely... we reserved patio seating so we could look out at the lake and it did not disappoint. We got crab Rangoon eggrolls and they were tasty and then I got seafood bisque, bang-bang shrimp tacos with tatie tots. My husband got the pork chop... everything g was tasty and brought out quickly. Definitely will visit again. read more

The last time I went to Lake House was April 3, 2025. I have been there before, plenty of times. The location is stellar, the views are stunning, and the layout of the restaurant and bars are ideal. The view from the back bar is amazing. The new-ish outside patio/bar/seating area was the smartest option for that space. Really, you have to see it all to believe it. I'm a simple man, so I would venture to say the place is rather fancy, but not uptight. The menu offers some seriously gourmet dinners, but also other fare that isn't so upscale, if you will. I sometimes stop after work for a late night chicken BLT and a few beers. See? Simple. The service is excellent. I love that when I walk in, the person managing the front desk can tell me if there's room for me at the back bar. Neat! I don't make it here often, but often enough to know that I'll come back as much as possible. Yes, I recommend you give the Lake House an opportunity to WOW you! read more

The food is good. The Saturday entertainment in the lounge with Eli on keyboard is the best. Relaxing and enjoyable.

Very beautiful spot with great ambiance. Service was great and speedy. My only bone to pick was the quality of food. It was mid tier for how pricey the menu was. My steak was very average with no seasoning & the ribeye was pretty bland and low tier quality compared to what I've had at other restaurants with same pricing. Otherwise, it was a beautiful romantic spot with great servers! read more

Stopped by on the way back from Cape May - worth the trip! Great Lake front location. We sat outdoors but there are lots of inside seating and bar areas. We had a steak salad and prime rib sandwich. Both very good. Service was also excellent. One comment - the steak salad was served in a huge deep bowl. We had to ask for another plate so you could get to all the ingredients and slice the steak. Prices were reasonable for the quality. Surely worth a visit. read more

The flights are to die for, normally get that with my apps. The main courses are good and cooked to perfection. The only negative thing is the lighting it's a little dark in certain sections I need my phone flash light to review the menu, but overall great place to have drinks and eat. read more

Great location. Live entertainment. We go specifically when Ryan plays. He's amazing. Food was great. Weather was perfect on the patio. Service was great and attentive. We chose to sit outside on the patio, grab a few apps and listen to Ryan play.. they have inside seating as well both a casual bar area and a more upscale dining room. read more

Absolutely one of my top places to dine. Dining room or more casual back bar with a cozy fireplace and outdoor seating in the summer are the options for seating. They accept reservations by phone or online. I recently went with a party of 8 so I made a reservation. We were easily accommodated. The food was delicious. I can't recommend the French onion smothered pork chop. Calamari was delicious. read more

I had the grilled shrimp spinach salad, and have to give them credit for good-sized portions. There was a decent amount of shrimp and bacon on the salad, but it was really pretty salty. I wanted to try the chili lime dressing, but it (sadly) wasn't very good. It turned out to be more like ranch with no heat to speak of, and no hint of lime either. On the other end of the spectrum, the cheesesteak nachos were a hit. The caramelized onions made the dish absolutely delicious. We got really good service, both from the bar and our waitress. Zero complaints there, and props to the friendly wait staff. If you dine in the evening, the amber lighting isn't great. I noticed some people having to use the light on their phone to read the menu. If you're there for a romantic dinner, it's more appropriate, with the lake view and open flame candles on the table. There's also a bar area where it appears that regulars enjoy hanging out on game nights. Local rumor has it that the place is haunted, so head out there while it's Halloween season, and you might get a little thrill into the bargain! read more

I saw this place on a ride. I thought it looked like a nice place to go with my wife. The service was excellent and the food was tasty. There were plenty of options to choose from we both ordered the Caprese Chicken Sandwich and it was really good. The wife had a Boozy Slushy drink and it tasted delicious it tasted more like a smoothie but she was very happy with it. We will definitely return again in the future. read more

Place looks great from the outside, it's ok on the inside. If you like your regular bar food, this is the spot for you. Wasn't WOWED, by any of the food. Got different apps to just try more than I could eat, also ordered a couple entrees to just try, and yeah. Just wasn't impressed . Again , if you like eating bar food. Then sure Service was good read more

Food was delicious and creative. Service was attentive. Views out to the lake are lovely.

Just happened upon this restaurant while visiting in NJ via Google. The atmosphere is awesome, the veggie burger and fries were delicious. My daughter ordered flatbread, parmesan risotto, and steamed broccoli. Everything was delicious, but the service was a bit slow, even though it wasn't crowded on a Tuesday night. Ordered dessert to go, when I checked the bag, it didn't look like what we were shown. When we finally flagged down our waitress, she took it back, just to bring it back to say they ran out of churro's. IT WAS A CHURRO CAKE! I said I didn't want, she stated, well I put some carmel sauce on it instead. I can't believe people sometimes. Then she disappeared again, so we took it and left. It wasn't that good. I would go back, the food was that good. read more

Ate lunch here. Excellent service! Very clean and very nice location. Grilled salmon was excellent. Chicken parm. Nasty! Noodles had a funky smell, the chicken was less than a 1/4" thick, burnt crust on bottom and when they put the noodles and marinara on it was very watery which water logged the burnt, skinny, rubbery chicken. Worst parm I've ever had. read more

On a Sunday evening we decided on a whim we wanted to go out to dinner somewhere we haven't gone in a while. We checked a few spots and no one had availability, so we decided to check Lake House. They had reservations available and without realizing they close at 8, we made 7 pm reservations. We were sat immediately and there were only 3 other tables dining inside. The outside had live music and seemed pretty busy, but we realized they were closing in an hour and decided to make our choices fast. We started with drinks, I got a dragonfruit mojito and everyone else got white sangria, and cheesesteak egg rolls. The cheesesteak egg rolls had great presentation, and were really good. They had green pepppers inside, which are not typical for cheesesteak egg rolls, but were a welcome addition. For our entrees we were kind of all over the place. I got the braised short rib and penne, which came with a side Caesar salad, and the rest of our party got the prime rib sandwich with waffle fries, and the three cheese chicken pesto spinach flatbread. I had the opportunity to try everything and I have to say I was impressed. The short ribs were great and the only thing I would change is a different type of pasta other than penne, like an orechettie, the flatbread was huge and had great flavor, the waffle fries were super crispy, and the sandwich was great dipped in the au jus. We opted to split the brownie bomb for dessert and we came to a consensus. We need to come to Lake House more often. I can't wait to go back and try the short rib sandwich or guiness sliders. read more

Oh my God, the food was amazing a little pricey, but I love it. I love that blue drink of mine.

The ambience is very nice. The lake views are beautiful. The drinks are OK. The staff is wonderful, but the food has no taste. It's poor quality. I've been there three times and I was not gonna be a fourth. It just hasn't gotten better each time I've gone there. The quality of the food has gotten worse. read more

The Lake House offers an amazing setting overlooking a lake, and very calm and welcoming ambiance, perfect for dining and conversation, or a perfect date night. We were in the dining room, but I would like to try the outdoor patio. Our waiter was very good and attentive, so service was excellent. We didn't wait long for any of our food. I thought the food was average, especially for the price. However, I would like to return. read more
