My wife and I were looking for a special place to celebrate our anniversary and when our son gave us a gift certificate to Lake House Restaurant we were very happy (and had to take him with us of course!). This is a large, attractive...facility with many fine views over Lake Ontario. There is a very good patio for fine weather also. The décor, furnishings and ambiance is excellent. And the staff all have large name tags so you know who you are dealing with, something we rarely see. The food was very good; we enjoyed the Caesar salad, the Tomato Bisque Soup and the Shrimp Mac and Cheese. My wife and I split the 10 oz New York Striploin and it was perfect for the two of us (seniors!). To celebrate our anniversary we were offered a number of small, very tasty dessert samplers that we enjoyed. To make a very good meal excellent, we have to credit our server, Ashley. We always notice if the restaurant staff do a "quality check" - "How does the food taste", "Is it hot and satisfactory", "do you require anything else"? Before we even had a chance to ask Ashley was there looking after our every need. This young lady should be training new hires and I hope all the Lake House staff meet that same high standard. She really made our meal a real celebration to remember! We hope to see her again in the future!More

As a last minute decision, we went to the Lakehouse for an anniversary dinner. Can’t say enough about this place ambiance was excellent. The food was a 10 out of 10 and the service from the front door to our server at the table was...stellar. Isaiah took care of us for the evening very knowledgable very charismatic, and an excellent server all around things were great. We each had, a main course reasonably priced and excellent portion , dessert and a great bottle of wine. A delicious specialty coffee to complete the evening service. The chefs have created meals that will excite your palate with each bite. 10 out of 10 will return for sure.More

Older couple from Texas visiting our son who lives in Grimsby. First time for all of us. Reservation for the 3 of us at 4:15 pm. We were seated promptly, and Matthew was just as prompt taking our drink orders. Also answered questions without hesitating....My handsome cowboy husband had one of the best CLASSIC margaritas north of Texas he has ever had in his life. Excellent start to the evening. I opted to try the Baco Noir by Henry of Pelham wine and Matthew offered a sample, which I was so grateful to accept! It was very good, so I enjoyed a 9-ounce serving with the Burrata Board and Fresh P.E.I. Mussels appetizers. Our entrees were Tiger Shrimp Fettucine, Icelandic Cod, Fettucine Bolognese and everything was excellent. Matthew is exceedingly good at tending to his patrons. And all staff members appear to work together very well which is always a good sign in our opinion. Immensely enjoyed everything about Lake House Restaurant and will definitely return every time we are in the neighborhood! Thank you for more great memories!!More

The food arrived hot and delicious. Even though it...was super busy we were well taken care of.

Called three times to make sure they were "dog/pet friendly. Booked the reservation after the second call and called the day of the reservation. ALL of them said, yea, we are pet friendly!! We found just the opposite! I found the manager on duty as...appalling . In three other restaurants, at least 6 wineries and lots of other stops, we didn't have ANY issues with our dog. One place was dog friendly. but had an issue, BUT they made arrangements that were absolutely over the top!! The seafood over coked and cool at best! I could NEVER send my food back, I didn't want to be there. My 39th anniversary and being treated like that was embarrassing for me. I had worked hard to make the day perfect! t. We took our after dinner drinks and dessert elsewhere. We knew we were NOT welcome!! The bathroom a pigpen (yea, it was busy). The condition was tough. In my opinion! I know they do not NOT care about us. We've been coming to the Niagara region for a very long time. We are going farther away from the falls as we keep coming up here. To be honest, this my have been the worst experience in 15 yrs!More

Unfortunately we could not stay for our reservation because there was no place to park. Many cars were parked over two spaces so fewer car could fit in the lot. Many many cars were parked in the fire lanes (illegal). I spoke with the hostess...to let them know we were not staying and recommended that they have a lot “attendant” to help with parking (make sure that people park reasonably close to each other and not park in fire lanes.). My wife and I travelled over an hour for our reservation. Very disappointing. Hope they get this figured out.More

I dropped in for lunch as I just happened to be in the area. This is a very nice restaurant with excellent food. They have a very nice outdoor patio, overlooking Lake Ontario, but also an enclosed area with lots of windows, giving a wonderful...view of the lake. The food was excellent. I had the Great Canadian Burger which was excellent. It came with some of the best fries I have ever seen. But what was really outstanding was the excellent service, just like in past visits. Mikayla who was my server this time around was exceptional, very attentive, cheerful and efficient. It made a great meal, coupled with this wonderful view of the lake, even more enjoyable.More

Yes and no. Looks like North Service road changes to different names giving a loop past Grimsby. After that you are able to continue on straight to the Lakehouse restaurant.
