At the Lake House, we’re short on formalities and big on making you feel comfortable. Stop by for an easy lunch on the deck with blue skies and a cool breeze. Linger over a romantic dinner and drinks in the warm glow of our fireplace. Enjoy the view of a snow-covered lake. Whether you’re with your boss or your best friend, you’re going to have a wonderful time, every time, at the Lake House. Around here, people love the water. When you take a look at the Lake House, this becomes abundantly clear (our location on the marina is no accident). Naturally, we have gorgeous views of the lake. And when the weather is good and enticing, we have an ample bar and deck outside where you can enjoy the breeze - and shoot the breeze with an al fresco lunch or dinner. We’ve even built this attitude into our bar: while it starts out inside, it ends up outside closer to the water. Come see for yourself.

    Great meal. Relaxing, good cocktails, & the menu was interesting. My baramundi was cooked perfectly and my husbands java scallops were delicious. We felt the food was priced fairly. Staff were great as well.

    We love to dine here when we visit from Chicago! We were sat by the window in a cozy booth with a view of the lake. The food here is always amazing! We had the peach and brie crostini, pasta with chicken, and sweet pea risotto this time. In the past we’ve had steaks and scallops and those were both great, too! Our server Kodi was AMAZING and so kind and helpful! We loved all of her input about the menu items and she was very attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely ask for her next time!

    It was my first visit to the Lake House, and I was not disappointed. The food was fantastic. Our server, Brad, was so attentive and helpful with decision-making. He never rushed us for anything, but was always on hand when we needed him. The menu was varied. The prices were reasonable. I am already looking forward to coming back.

    Our first time here. Nice location. Server was great but seemed like she had too many tables. Food was tasty as were the drinks. A little too expensive tho. The food wasn't THAT good. Ambience was nothing special inside and didn't justify the overall cost. Will we go back? Maybe. We live in Holland so overall value may not warrant another visit.

    I thought the Walleye would've been more crispy but it was very good flavor wise. Crab cakes were close to the best I've had. I lived in Florida for 30 years and have had them alot so..kudos

    Reservation process was disappointing. When we arrived, they had no record of our reservation. Even though we had a confirmation # and email. Who dropped the ball? The restaurant was very good about it and made it happen. Meal was delicious and service by Sarah was excellent. Can't beat the view!

    Was there for mid day lunch and weather allowed sitting on the lovely patio. Very good service. Excellent food. Had the special, mushroom, Brie and spinach omelet with fresh avocado and fruit. Also ordered was their Ahi tuna appetizer, generous serving and prepared well. Highly recommend the food and view of the adjacent marina.

    We had dinner here on our way to a "Second Chance, Adult Prom". There was a wedding party that came through the bar as we sat down and the bar got a little busy, and a bit more noisy for a few minutes. The staff at the bar handled it very well and it didn't affect our meal at all. The service was great, our waitress was super friendly, patient, and attentive. The food was absolutely incredible. They are a little more expensive then most places in Muskegon but the views, staff, and food absolutely make it worth it all. We will definitely come back and highly recommend eating here.

    Lots of bones in the perch and not prepared well (soft/soggy breading). I had indicated when I booked that it was a special occasion but it was not recognized at all. Waiter seemed either frazzled or uninterested.

    Start to finish our experience at the Lake House was fabulous. Excellent cocktails, excellent food, and excellent service. We dined outside, which felt Caribbean - overlooking the marina, under sun umbrellas with gentle breezes blowing. Absolutely perfect night in every way.

    The kitchen needs to learn where the spice rack is located. The steak wasn't even salted, never mind cooking it with thyme, oregano, garlic or other spices. The wine wasn't cooked out of the clams. The potatoes were good, but they needed salt too. The service was great and the view was remarkable.

    Our server, Brandon, did a wonderful job. Unfortunately the food wasn’t great. The salmon, pork chop and walleye were bland and didn’t have much of a flavor. We’ve been there before lunch and the food was great. We’ve decided that this is only a lunch place for us.

    Our waitress brought my 10yr olds drink in a toddler sippy cup and then when asked to bring a regular cup she walked away with a disgusted look on her face. Never was my dad told about the included gratuity at the time of being brought the bill. The perch dinner was very heavy on the fries and only a few pieces of perch for the price.
