    a group of people sitting at a table

    Always a great meal and great vibe when we go to The Shack. It's always a "must do" stop while we're in Bolton Landing. Only wish they would bring back the soft serve, but the food is still really good.

    Eggs Oscar with the sauce on the side

    Adequate food. Outdoor seating is nice and it's also pet friendly. A few parking spots in front, also street parking. Ok back to the food- I had the Eggs Oscar which is a take on Eggs Benedict with crab meat instead of Canadian bacon. It was just ok. Very bland and the consistency of the crab is like that of tuna fish in the can. The Béarnaise sauce was very bland. Dry English muffin and tasteless home fries. My wife ordered the steak and eggs and said the same- very bland. The toast was burned. I had a pineapple mimosa which was more juice than anything. She had a cranberry mimosa and it was more of the same. The food lacks love and flavor. The bathroom needs to be minded. That said, the staff is friendly. Would I go back? No.

    The shack was ok, seating took time although we ultimately sat at a table that had been open all 59 minutes of our 59 minute wait, no lunch during breakfast and no breakfast during lunch (Guess one chef does breakfast one lunch? I know right imagine a person who could flip a burger and a pancake?)

    Eggs Oscar... which is eggs Benedict with crabmeat -  no idea what this was.

    I'm 99% sure they just heated up the roast beef for the deli sandwich and pretended it was a cheesesteak.

    Beautiful view of the lake from this restaurant. We came here for a late lunch on a weekend and…read morewere seated right away near the window. The place seems a little dated inside with the plastic tablecloths and our table was a bit wobbly. It was dark inside too. Service was good and our waitress was very attentive. She checked on us often and seemed very nice. We ordered burgers and they were both very juicy and cooked perfectly. Love the crunchy French fries too.

    We come to this restaurant several times each summer, usually by boat (though it's just as easy to…read moreget to by car). Even though it's always busy in the summer months, we've never waited more than about 20 minutes for a table even with a group of 6-12 people. The service can be hit or miss. We've had some excellent servers, but this last visit was disappointing. Our server took our order, dropped off the food, and we didn't see her again until it was time for the check. For me, that's unacceptable; servers should always check in at least once after meals are served. The food itself is good. A lot of our group has their "go-to" dishes, and mine is the steakhouse burger on a GF bun. I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and let you swap fries for whatever potato they're serving (baked, mashed, etc.). My mother-in-law loved the shrimp tacos, and the Hawaiian shrimp bowl is another favorite, but definitely ask for light sauce, otherwise it's too heavy. The dock staff are always great - super helpful getting boats in and out, and we really appreciate them. We keep coming back for the ease of docking, the views, the atmosphere, and a solid dinner with drinks. Honestly, it beats a lot of the other spots on the lake.

Have been wanting to come…read moreto Seneca for a while now and so we made a reservation for an after graduation celebration which is super easy to do on their website. Upon walking in the host and servers were super nice and we were seated promptly. The space itself is super nice! Not crowded at all but definitely means you should make a reservation as they are super popular! Food was amazing! DO NOT MISS THE ROLLS! I'd come back just for the rolls, they were so soft, fluffy, and light with the perfect flaky salt on top to balance with the whipped honey butter. Delicious! Everything else was also great, the hanger steak is also tender and loved the hash that came with it and the crab spaghetti had ample crab meat in it. Presentation was gorgeous. Love the seasonal menus and you really can't go wrong with anything here. We skipped out on dessert but I'm sure there's great options too. Highly recommend and hope to be back!

What we ordered: -Berry cosmo 5/5, sweet but strong. -House made Parker house rolls: 5/5, these are a MUST. They are so light and airy and they come with a nice spread of whipped butter -Coal fired beets: 5/5, these pistachio butter was so creative and it comes with a big ball of burrata -Lamb lollipops: 5/5, very tender/easy to eat, only comes with 3 -Crab spaghetti: 3.9/5, overall good but it was more like crab cake than actual pieces of crab -Salmon (guest rating): 5/5, large piece of salmon with unique flavors intertwined -Wagyu burger (guest rating): 5/5, great flavor and the tomato jam that comes with the fries is sweet and great but I wish the fries alone were more exciting, very boring unseasoned potatoes -Hanger steak (guest rating + me taste testing): 4/5, cooked very well and I love the presentation with the potato cubes but the marinate is kind of boring

    It's been a while since I've eaten here and I forgot how much I liked it…read more The old Victorian style historic house turned restaurant is really lovely. The wraparound porch is just so nice to sit outside and eat in warm weather. They really utilize the space well, as it's covered in colder months so you can still sit there. I was here for brunch on Mother's Day with reservations and was seated promptly. Due to the holiday, parking was not possible in their lot as it can only take a few cars. No matter, as we were able to park nearby. Their brunch menu had plenty to choose from. You were given these small carrot cake muffins to start, then a choice of starter and main along with dessert, wow! You also had a few cocktails to choose from and you could also swap out for a mocktail too. It was extremely busy but the staff was attentive and handled our orders with ease. Their attention to detail was so nice. For starters we had a strawberry salad, French onion soup, tuna tartare, coconut shrimp. For mains, the burger, salmon Benedict, chicken and waffles and a Polynesian style breakfast bowl with coconut shrimp, sticky rice, pineapple and greens. Lastly on a full tummy we had coffee with chocolate mousse, strawberry shortcake and peanut butter cheesecake. Spending the morning here for brunch was the perfect way to kick off the day. Brunch was enjoyed by all. On a side note, I've also had dinner here and you can expect the same wonderful experience. I'll be back again!
