Since 2006, The LakeHouse restaurant has been the jewel of Bay Shore, NY. In the summer of 2016, owners Eileen & Matthew Connors and Jay Gut moved locations to a brand new dockside treasure. With stunning views and multiple fireplaces, comfortable seating for 100+ guests, two lounge areas, deck overlooking the Great South Bay, and both an indoor tavern room and a waterfront bar, The Lakehouse is touted by many as “one of the best restaurants on Long Island.” At night, the deck is illuminated, as is the waterfront lounge area where guests can congregate for after-dinner cocktails. This New American fine dining experience is not to be missed. The Lakehouse can now be reached by boat as well, as guest dockage is available at the new gorgeous bayside locale.*Please note that we not take reservations for particular tables & we cannot promise a particular area or table.

    Brought a friend visiting from Connecticut for lunch here, since the reviews I had read were mostly very positive. I was suspicious (as I'm sure many others are) whether any restaurant could successfully manage such a diverse and ambitious menu. Based on our experience, my answer would be a resounding "YES!" We split an order of wings which were plump and crispy and the buffalo sauce was extraordinary, slightly herbed and delicious. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich, and while I've found most local renditions to be much too sweet, for me the seasoning was perfect and reminiscent of Hattie B's in Nashville. My friend had the Bayou Brie Roast Chicken Sandwich which he also pronounced exceptional. With the addition of two local Sand City IPAs on tap, it was a perfect lunch! The service was also excellent and the restaurant was very quiet during our meal since there were only three other occupied tables, but I imagine it gets pretty loud for dinner.

    We love ita but we’re surprised to see the menu changed quite a bit. As a vegetarian my options were more limited but the food was still excellent.
