   We were seated three minutes ahead of our reservation time but a server did not come around for at least fifteen minutes. The server was not terribly attentive, because the restaurant was clearly understaffed. We saw a couple get seated and then get tired of waiting so they left. The restaurant lost business because they were not properly staffed. The server rushed us for unknown reasons. At least two of us at our table of four were still eating with plenty of food left on our plates and suddenly the checks arrived. We were not done ordering drinks or dessert but we were being rushed, so again the restaurant looses money. AND the checks were wrong and had to be sent back. We could not find our server so we sent the hostess to find her and straighten out the checks. One of us who had to get a corrected check opened the app for her credit card and found that the hold had not been removed for the first, incorrect check. It did not seem as though there was an experienced adult service staff member among them - so disorganized, and such service failure! Train and properly SUPPORT your people, Lakehouse. This is completely on management, not on the poor kids who are busting their butts to compensate for YOUR failure to hire, train, schedule, and retain competent and adequate staff for a Sunday morning brunch shift. DO BETTER.

   We had a group of 5. Food was excellent! We all ordered the Dirty Pineapple. The presentation was excellent and appealing. The restaurant was very clean and our waitress was very efficient and accommodating.

   We sat outside and the seating area was very dirty with bird droppings. My chair had something sticky on it. The service was good. The waitress was attentive. The setting is beautiful. The food was not very good.

   We had a group of 8 and We were running late and could not reach the restaurant, but when we all got there , they could not have been nicer!! They set us up in a huge square table so we could all see each other and talk easily, they set us off from the crowds, service was superb!! and the food was outstanding...everything came together...no one was waiting for their food. I would do that again in a heart beat! Excellent Job!!

   Always a treat for us and our guests! Great food and service. Plenty of seafood options plus burgers and steak. My current favorite is the pasta with chicken! Sit outside if possible. Nice view of the large lake at Babcock Ranch.

   Beautiful location, extended and varied menu. The service was great, and we loved hearing the music in the outdoor seating area. It was great music and not so loud that we couldn’t carry on a conversation. Love eating at the lake house.
