    Carbonara
    Paige J.

    I'm continually impressed by the quality of the food and service here! I recently went for dinner on a busy Friday night and sat at the bar, the bartender was super friendly, but also gave my husband and I space when we were just chatting the two of us. My husband ordered the filet with their, I believe, truffle butter on top and the risotto cake on the side. I ordered their carbonara, and am pretty picky about this dish, but have to try it everywhere. I love that they make their noodles from scratch every day, but I don't like the thick pappardelle noodle with the dish- would prefer spaghetti, but the sauce and pancetta was great! The filet was impeccable, had a great crust but still cooked medium rare inside, and the risotto is something I've dreamed about since. For cocktails, I got their Manhattan and my husband got a dirty martini with blue cheese olives- both were great! Would absolutely recommend this place for dinner or brunch! Love getting their breakfast fried rice and their man candy bacon- excellent bloodies too!

    Decided to hit up the Lake Room given it had been years since I'd been back in town and that it replaced my grandfather's dry cleaning business i was willing to give it a try... but all came up short! We ordered a Wedge Salad for before our meal....server didn't come back to our table till our food came out (which from the time we ordered to coming out was over 30 minutes and the place had only two other tables at the time) even after Nate trued flagging him down a couple times.... Food comes out... Nates steak that was to be Medium Rare comes out Well Done... and still no wedge salad... Steak gets sent back.... And after about 3-4 minutes server then decided to bring out the Wedge so Nate had something to eat while i had my meal... 9 minutes later.. steak comes out... VERY Rare... By that point we gave up. Nate ate his potatoes and sent back the steak and we were done. Will i ever be back to Lake Room..No... Even worse is the table to the left behind us had the same steak issues. I'd maybe more understanding if the place was packed and busy especially on a Friday.. there was no real excuse besides i think they have a cook who really just doesnt know how to cook a steak. Bummer.

    We visited here for a date night, and it was well worth it! FOOD: Super tasty- I got the Chilean Sea Bass and it was sooo good. The bass was perfectly cooked and the mozzarella stuffed risotto cake was creamy and delightful. We also ordered the pan-seared sea scallops which were extremely good but not really filling enough for a full entree. AMBIANCE: Upscale, perfect for date night! Not very modern, but classy. Outdoor patio looked inviting for the warmer months. SERVICE: Friendly and prompt despite it being busy. PARKING: Easy parking lot.

    Amazing Chilean Sea Bass and Salmon Meal! Very Attentive Staff! So helpful and always checking up on us! Treated our 5 year old like royalty. They even made time to say goodbye and thank you!! What a wonderful experience! Hats off to the whole crew!!!

    Frittata was fantastic!!!

    This restaurant rating is for brunch. A beautiful restaurant in a central (lake mtka) location. It reminded me of walking into an Abercrombie and Fitch. Dark, rich, mahogany wood furniture, wine glass sculptures strategically placed here and there, window plantation shutters (LOVE), beautiful chandeliers, local lake mtka Art (I loved the tile Mosaic piece, the paddle boat painting, and the lake mtka cut-out wall art), and the painted marble floor. The patio is small but perfect with a gorgeous fire pit house, patio heat warmers, and a few tables with Albert Einstein cafe lights. My toddler was satisfied with a kids menu, crayons, coloring sheets, and a kid's cup of fresh squeezed OJ. I LOVED the mimosa flight. This is something I have never seen before. Brilliant!!! You pick 3 of 6-7 choices. I chose lavender/mint (my fav), peach Bellini, and strawberry/lemon. WARNING: I felt elegantly wasted after drinking this flight. Prob not the best idea when managing a baby and a toddler. I ordered the frittata. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO good. When I cut into the frittata, it oozed with buttery greens. There was crispy/baked Asiago cheese on top that added so much to the flavor. It came with a side salad (although it was weird to eat a salad for breakfast) and breakfast potato wedges. I highly recommend this dish! My husband ordered the short ribs Benedict. It was a little bland and needed S&P. My [respectful] suggestion is the chef should maybe add garlic salt (after all, everything is better with garlic). I will be back for dinner sometime!

    Espresso !!!

    Fabulous beyond words! Service, food, ambiance and value are ALL on point. Sleeper venue with very little advertising...take FULL advantage because when this place becomes main stream it will be week long wait for reservations. Food is outstanding and price is fair! Chocolate martini in the lower level Jimmy's Bar is on point. Sea Bass, Delmonico (ask for it to have a chat crust), and the chopped salad are delicious. Decent wine menu and fun cocktail offerings. Heard they are doing a Black Friday gift card special which we will be taking full advantage of. Yum!

Mirabelle was chosen for friends night out due to the social media post and it looking great on socials. I'd first like to say the staff here were amazing. We were helped by quite a few of them during our dining experience. We were even given a guided tour of the rentable event space, as well as the 2 other restaurant concepts they run, which are connected to Mirabelle. Shiki - Japanese inspired noodle bar, and Parlour Bar - Speakeasy vibes. Mirabelle has more of a supper club atmosphere. Back to the dining experience, we all ordered the drink special - I don't recall the name but we all enjoyed it. Kind of like a cosmo. We were able to catch a few things from the happy hour. As I said earlier I was looking forward to ordering the wings, which I did, but was later informed they ran out - we did go at dinner opening on a Monday - maybe they had a super busy week. I was left to only trying cheese curds and fries which were okay, nothing special. Others tried the caesar salad, a shrimp pasta dish, popcorn, and a few other dishes. Overall they weren't very impressed either. Probably would have enjoyed the other concepts a bit more personally. Also had popovers - they were very egg forward - smell and taste - also something no one really enjoyed at our table. The drinks and vibes were amazing though!

We came on a busy Sunday evening, Memorial Day Weekend, and put our name down for a table. We were told it would be a responsible 25-30 minute wait. A wait that only ended up being about 15 minutes. We were seated at a table right next to the water which we loved. Very promptly greeted by our server, Julie, who was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable to the menu, made plenty of recommendations, and was very humorous making the visit even better. Started with the Loaded Nachos which were HUGE. They were piled high with all the goodies, plenty of queso, crispy chips, and extremely fresh ingredients. At first I was turned off by the $22 price tag but the size is actually a great value and they are perfect for probably 6-8 to share as an app or 2-4 to share as an entree. You can pop tan extra $10 for brisket, we just stuck with the ground beef. I also got the Stacked Club Sandwich which, again, was a massive portion. The deli meat tasted like it was freshly sliced and had a nice flavor. The lettuce and tomato were also very fresh tasting. This a perfect spot to stop and take in some sun, have a few drinks, and a bite to eat, all while enjoying stunning views of the lake.

If you want to come here even relatively close to peak hours, I would highly recommend a reservation. My personal favorites here include the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Minute Chicken. I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.

    Please go here as the food, service, and atmosphere is great…read more FYI there is a lot of parking behind the building but you can also do street parking. I usually recommend a reservation for Pink Ivy as during dinner rush it always seems full. I have had so many great meals here. I am usually a meat and potatoes kind of person but the salmon here is great. Also as much as I dislike vegetables they actually have ones I order. As much as the food is always been great. The staff has also been wonderful. They are knowledgeable and friendly and really make a difference. Atmosphere can change from time to time. As busy restaurants nights are always going to have that buzz but in a good way. As the busy night calms into late evening there is this different nice smooth feeling that comes over the place. Lastly this place introduced me to a new drink. The Carajillo. In my opinion it's a better version of the Espresso Martini as it's a bit sweeter.

    This ended up being a really solid stop and definitely a step above your typical casual spot…read more The decor is super cute with a pink and green aesthetic--kind of mint and bubblegum tones--and it gives the whole place a fun but still cozy feel. I somehow showed up wearing green without even planning it, so I accidentally matched the vibe which made it even better. The atmosphere overall feels clean, modern, and relaxed without being over the top. It works really well for a casual lunch or a low-key date where you still want something a little nicer. We tried a few different things, and everything was well done. The burger was juicy with a good melt on the cheese and a soft bun that held together nicely. Simple, but done right. The side salad was fresh and actually had flavor instead of just being there. The meatballs were a standout--really tender and covered in a rich, creamy sauce that made the dish feel more elevated. The mussels were also great, and the broth was flavorful enough that dipping the grilled bread in it was a must. Nothing felt like a miss, and everything had a little extra attention to detail. Also our server was very nice and kind I liked her. Overall, I'd come back. It's not super fancy, but it feels like a step up from your usual spots and is a great option if you want something cute, relaxed, and still really solid.
