    Just moved to Kent and so glad we tried this establishment! We sat on the patio and had a glorious view of the lake. Our server was very attentive and was very personable. The food was delicious. We plan to return in the Fall and sit at the bar, which has the best view in the house…I mean patio!

    Anniversary Dinner. Had walleye dinner as well as my bride. Cannot brag enough about the food or service. Raining outside. I am totally disabled. Came in so wife could park. Hostess said not to bother. Car was good where it sat. Was taken to our table and met with well wishes for our anniversary. From that point on, everything was great. Server checked on us at least three times to make it perfect. Thanks Lake House. We’ll be back soon

    Not a good experience. Waited over an hour for a salad and a seafood entree. Watched everyone else around us get served when we were clearly there before them. We decided to leave after the waiter told us it would be a few more minutes?? I feel the waiter forgot to put our order in. I can’t fairly judge this restaurant because of a waiter.

    Noisy ambience inside by the lake windows. Great service. I had the salmon with the quinoa salad and grilled vegetables which was very good. Salmon cooked well but needed a little more seasoning. Quinoa salad was delicious and grilled veggies were very good. Wife had the fried chicken breasts with the fingerlings and grilled veggies. Chicken was slightly over cooked and dry. Fingerlings were good and veggies were fine. Ordered the tiramisu for dessert which was light and delicious! Overall decent experience. Not rushing back but a good place to have a decent meal. I thought pricing was fair to decent.

    Only thing this place has is location and we had a great server. The food was mediocre at best, not worth the money. In addition we had a $10 gift reward card from open table in which the manager didn’t know how to ring in their registers and didnt offer any other solution. I will now need to contact open table to utilize for another restaurant. This time I will stick to places with a better known experience. Better choices with in proximity of this establishment.

    my advice regarding the Lake House Kitchen and Bar is; do not bother. My husband and I ordered the Lake Perch. It was dry and had no flavor whatsoever. The establishment is only 30 miles from Lake Erie, currently at the height of season for both perch and walleye. The wine list was abysmal. The service was average and untrained. Aside from the fact that it overlooked a small lake, the outdoor dining area was unremarkable.

    We sat at the exterior bar facing the lake so our view was perfect. The clam chowder was delicious. The lake chips were pretty good. The fish and chips maybe had too much breading and not enough fish. The cornmeal crusted perch was tough. It’s not my restaurant so I can’t complain but I don’t understand not being able to eat the pasta dishes outside

    The food was outstanding.! The stuffed banana peppers app was delicious. Just the right amount of heat and great flavor. Hubby and I both had seafood and it did not disappoint. Great location and wonderful service. The only thing missing was a view of the lake but those seats were taken already. We will be back!

    On the fish and chips, there’s more breading than cod. The succotash is different, on a positive note, the potato chips with blue cheese and balsamic are really good. Good drinks, too

    Last few times have ordered the walleye with no sauce-last few times it came out with the sauce on-sent it back- it then came out overcooked-my wife had already finished- Tristan,our server, was very good-not his fault-we like the restaurant but this constant miscue is getting old-suggest a written copy for kitchen since the spoken word is not working
