White

When dinning there are circumstances that require just a little less, or perhaps just a little more wine. It is the format that allows us the choice above (or below) the regular measure of the 750ml bottle. Half bottles and magnums can be selected to make sure you and your guests get exactly the right amount of liquid nourishment during your lunch or dinner. Please enjoy our selection

Fresh and Aromatic

White Wine

The wines within the Fresh & Aromatic sections represent the lightest and brightest of the wines we offer. We can expect fresh citrusy acids that refresh the palate and brighten the flavors of our dishes. Most of the wines use little or no oak and have low to moderate alcohol levels. These attributes make these wines perfect for aperitifs and with lighter style dishes

Supple and Lush

Rosé and White Wine

Our Supple & Lush wines offer a wide range of characteristics. As the wines move down the pages they gain weight and viscosity. Here we find a good collection of aromatically rich wines offering floral notes, fresh orchard aromas and in some cases vivid minerals. Slightly fuller bodies and more concentration. Wonderful to start with and to carry into dinner

Full and Decadent

White Wine

The wines on these pages are the richest white wines we offer. These have full personalities and depths of flavor. Higher alcohol levels due to very ripe grapes give a full bodied richness. More oak is used with these wines often giving a certain creamy character. These wines match well with our main course dishes and act as a refreshing pairing for our game meats

Red

Half Bottles

The half bottle is the best solution for the dinner guest when variables arise. When amounts are a concern the 375ml size is an easy answer for providing two people with just enough. When dinner choices range from light fresh fish to heavy red meats pairing multiple half bottles can provide a wide range of options

Magnum

Magnum 1500ml = Two bottles. There are occasions in one's life that arise that require just a little bit more; just a little more time, just a little more song, just a little more company...and just a little more wine. For these occasions we propose the following fine selection of large bottles, carefully chosen to meet the most serious of the more-occasions

2010 Ornellaia (Tuscany, Italy)CA$650.00

Fresh and Aromatic

Red Wine

An excellent variety of well-focused lightly structured wines. As you move down the two pages from left to right you'll find the wines deepen with concentration. We look for bright fresh red fruits, floral notes and very little oak influence for the wines on this page. Perfect for those looking for superb versatility

Supple and Lush

Red Wine

Those seeking a round mouth-feeling and plump tender structures will enjoy these two pages of selections. Fuller bodied grape varietals are used in these wines that offer darker red and black fruits mixed with hints of vanilla and coffee. Look to the European selections for lovely mineral nuances

Full and Decadent

Red Wine

Our richest selections are presented here. Very ripe grapes with extracted upbringings allow these wines to exude power and decadence. Black fruits are married with wood notes giving them lifted aromas of spice, caramel, espresso and mocha. Here the structures are firm and dense, giving them the power to handle our most flavorful red meat dishes

It's been a long time since I've been to the Lake House (last time being when it was the Inn still) but my son really wanted to go for an important celebratory meal. Service was excellent but after that....everything was good. Not bad but nothing more than just good. It's a reasonably expensive meal so I rather expected to have at least one dish that was memorable, but there just wasn't. My son who loves dessert didn't find a single thing on the dessert menu that appealed to him, so went without. Aside from it's location being convenient as we live in the neighborhood, I can't see why I'd go back to spend that kind of money, on just good.

Never had a bad meal at a CMR property and the Lake House is no exception. The room is comfortable and relaxed, although it felt a little empty in ambience. Nice fireplace and view of the lake, but candles weren't lit on the table and it felt like all the tables were pushed together with a big empty space when you walked in. Felt a little like a community hall. But that wasn't a huge issue as the food was remarkable. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Took my father and family there for Father’s Day and the Lake House was as splendid as always. Food and cocktails are so tasty and the dish portions are just the right size. The pear sorbet and Pina Colada Mousse Cake are divine - they’re not overwhelmingly sweet. Thank you to Sierra and the team for the lovely service!

Our server was very attentive throughout our meal. We loved the lobster ravioli and charcuterie appetizers, and our entrees of rib eye, scallops and sous vide chicken were all delicious. The food was very flavourful and we had a lovely view of the lake.

Excellent food and service, great view. Fair price for the value of the food and service - we'll definitely be back. Noisy though. We were a party of 2 and the restaurant was at most 1/2 full yet we had to raise our voices to talk to each other. I would have rated the ambience higher if it weren't for this.

We had a very nice evening out, fine food and excellent service. Our server was very sweet, most efficient and obliging. The Lake House was the perfect place to celebrate my Wife’s birthday. KH.

As always, the Lake house doesn't disappoint. One of my favorite restaurants and I'd highly recommend it. My friend and I were lucky enough to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the sunshine and lovely view of the lake. We even had a blue heron fly by, as if on cue! Thank you to all of the hard working staff for maintaining the excellent level of service and food, throughout these trying times.

Enjoyed a beautiful anniversary dinner by the window overlooking the lake. Darcy our waiter was professional, helpful with selections and very congenial. He made the experience smooth but didn't hover. Great guy. Thank you.

This was our second visit in the past couple of months. The manager and hostess set the tone at the door with a very pleasant greeting and our sever Taylor kept it going with her fantastic personality and menu knowledge. The food was outstanding and the service was even better. We will certainly be back.

Service was amazing. Our waitress was kind, courteous, and diligent. She made the evening very enjoyable. The food was delicious however I don't think it is worth the price.
