   Not a typical “restaurant” setting. We walked in and it doesn’t feel like a restaurant considering it sits open in the middle of the main lobby. We viewed the menu online ahead of time and it looked pretty good, but when we arrived we were told there was a limited menu and a buffet. We choose the buffet. Wrong choice - the food was cold, the chicken was pink, and the line for the pasta line and prime rib was ridiculous so we didn’t even bother. I ordered a dirty martini, it was so bad I didn’t finish it.

   I have eaten dinner here at least once or twice / ski season for years. We eat breakfast there more than dinner. Breakfast is usually pretty decent. Dinner is very hit or miss. We had a dinner buffet yesterday that was $45 / person. The atmosphere and the staff were very good. I have had service issues in the past but that was not the case yesterday. The staff was very helpful. The issue was the food. There were not very many selections for a $45 buffet. The prime rib was good but the rest of the food was lacking. There were only 6-7 items max and one of them was terrible. The terrible one being the jambalaya. Something was way off with it. Like spoiled. Our table of 4 didn't finish it and neither did the table behind us. Even kids commented on it. The other items were just ok but absolutely nothing special. The prime rib was good but the cost for what other items were available was too high.

   The menu looked really good, but never got the chance to enjoy it. They were very short staffed, which isn’t an issue but no one ever let us know that before we were sat. Waited a half hour and didn’t even see a server go by and didn’t even put in a drink order. Again… no one even came up to us to let us know the situation we had to learn this from the tables next to us who also had been waiting over an hour for food and drink orders. We ended up leaving and had to try to find somewhere else that was open nearby for food, which was extremely limited with it being New Year’s Day. Had to drive a half hour for takeout cause that was the only other option. Terrible experience.

   Thé buffet for New Years Eve dinner was not up to par for the price. As a chef, I was not impressed with the selections and would have liked to have been offered a food menu as well. The prime rib was ok and so where the glazed carrots. Nothing was listed on the buffet as we had to guess what each food item was. The new renovations are not elegant and there should have been tables available next to the fire place. Tables by the bar were not preferred as that is where the buffet should have been. The lighting could be dimmed as well. The service was not great as we were not offered a second drink and took forever to receive our check. For just clearing plates, the service could have been more efficient. 😳

   Was sat right at arrival. 20, twenty minutes later and no one came to our table. Left went to the shanty, had drink in hand and dinner ordered within minutes. It’s a shame, I’ve been a home owner nearby for 20 years and the service never improves here.

    Took forever for someone from the waitstaff to come to our table. The hostess was also the bartender. I know they were short staffed that evening. Ordered the north woods burger with truffle fries. The burger was delicious. Had to ask the waitress for the fries. By the time they came out everyone at the table was finished eating. A few in our party tried the oriental buffet. Ok but wouldn’t try it again. Lakeview, you always seem to disappoint.

    Made a reservation in advance after seeing menu online and reading about the views from dining room. Instead, seated in a back corner and given a limited menu or buffet option. Manager gave us a weak apology. Drove back to Traverse City very unhappy.

    As a new owner of a rental property in the resort, I wanted to see if I should recommend this restaurant to my future guests. I would be embarrassed to recommend dining here as the drinks were poor, the food was bland, and the service was terrible. While dining, the lights flickered for 15-20 minutes and patrons were commenting about it causing headaches or seizures. Just a nightmare!

    Wife's salmon dinner came out uncooked, sent it back. The NY strip steak was good, but it only came with kettle chips with some type of topping on it. Would expect more than chips for $38, like maybe a baked potato or vegetables. Overall it was nice and maybe the kinks are still being worked out.

    We were seriously disappointed by this restaurant. Service was awful, wasn’t even approached by a server for 15-20 minutes when we sat down. Prices were crazy for very poor quality food. Everything looked like it sat under a heat lamp for an hour. Very dry and flavorless.

    We eat out several times per week all over Antrim County and especially in Bellaire. There is no place that can compare to the Lakeview whereas the View is concerned. Beautiful Views of Lake Bellaire and the Summit Mountain slopes from the Top of the Mountain! The Salmon and Steaks we had were excellent and the Service is unequalled anywhere in Bellaire. We love it there!

    When I arrived at the Hotel I decided to ask the hostess if I could have a window table for my dinner reservation at 6:30pm. The hostess stated if I came at 5:30pm I would have a better chance at getting a window table. So I changed my reservation and did get a window table. I never felt rushed & the service and ambiance was outstanding. My steak was ok - but the value for "date night" was great. I would totally recommend having dinner there again -- and getting a window view was worth moving up my reservation (even though that too was not guaranteed - but it all worked out).

    Made on line reservations a week in advance, specifically asking for window seats in the reservation, asked for table next to the window, to watch hot air balloons take off. Didn't get a table by the window, and was sat in a spot without a good view. Windows that overlook the view of the valley were DIRTY! Overall attention to detail was poor, food was fair. We would not make a special effort to go back.

    The food was poorly prepared, sent my steak back once still not well done. My husband’s fish was barely warm, he ate his dinner before mine was brought to me. Manager gave us a free dessert to share, that was also disappointing as the cream puffs were hard and the fudge sauce was grainy. We would not come again or recommend to anyone.

    Not a good experience this evening …… the only saving grace was , the server was so nice as was the rest of the staff …… this place really needs to get it together ….. the menu is very minimal, which is fine , however, shouldn’t everything on it be good…. Sadly it wasn’t , we gave our feedback to the staff and I think they appreciated it and hopefully will discuss it with the kitchen
