Every time I place it an order it can be quite tedious and annoying. I was ordering for no less than 5 people each time and different modifications can be excessive. However, every single time it's perfect. There's not an item that is missed or left out. I'm not sure if this has always been the standard but things are separated nice and neat. The attention to detail was quite astonishing. They really go above and beyond with how everything is packaged. Last night was great. The staff is super friendly and kind. I really appreciate them. When I pick up my order it's always ready before the pick up time. I really appreciate the customer service. Also the food is amazing. Everything is so full of flavor. I always get The Open as a salad and get all the fixings on it. It's so good my fiancé makes me get the same exact order for him. Last night it was so much he couldn't even finish it.

Some destinations earn their reputation through novelty; Lake House Restaurant earns its through…read moreconstancy -- a rare and more demanding virtue. Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario in Vineland, this storied establishment, housed in a structure dating to 1867, has become one of those places that quietly lodges itself in the memory and refuses to leave. We made the drive -- well over an hour -- for a Sunday brunch, and not for the first time. It is the kind of restaurant one finds oneself recommending without hesitation, not as a curiosity or a seasonal indulgence, but as a benchmark. The setting alone would justify the journey: a sweeping, unobstructed view of the lake from the sunroom and patio that shifts in character with the light, the season, and the mood of the sky above. On a clear day, the Toronto skyline is visible on the horizon -- an almost implausible grace note. But Lake House does not rest on its scenery. The kitchen demonstrates genuine culinary ambition with a menu that draws from Mediterranean traditions while remaining grounded in local and seasonal sensibility. The salmon crab cakes -- a pairing that sounds indulgent and delivers accordingly -- arrive with a pineapple and mango chutney and sriracha aioli that balance richness with levity. The Great Canadian Burger is a study in considered indulgence: brioche, peameal bacon, sweet bacon jam, and spiced maple aioli achieving a harmony of sweetness, heat, and savoriness that lingers well past the last bite. The service matched the occasion throughout. From the welcome at the door to our server Rhonda -- attentive, warm, and precisely calibrated in her pacing -- to the supervisor who moved quietly through the room ensuring that every table was well attended, the floor operates with the kind of seamless, unhurried care that is too often mistaken for effortlessness. It is not effortless. It is practiced and deliberate, and all the more impressive for it. Lake House Restaurant is a destination that justifies the drive, rewards the return, and -- in a dining landscape where so few establishments manage all three -- that is no small thing.

If you enjoy condiments the semolina crusted calamari ($26) comes with four dipping sauces:…read moresweet-curried aioli, sweet chili, basil pesto aioli, and sriracha aioli. It would've been nice if at least one packed a bit of heat, but they're all tame, adding flavour without overpowering the squid. Thankfully, the semolina crust was excellent - crunchy, light, and not oily at all. The portion is generous and easily shareable between two or three people. A newer addition to the menu is the short rib sandwich ($34), and it's a good one. Large chunks of tender, flavourful beef are topped with sautéed mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula, and brie. The cheese adds a creamy richness that makes the sandwich stand out. The menu notes a horseradish aioli, but any zing from it gets buried under the slightly sweet braising sauce, which was too sugary for my taste. I would've preferred it kept more savoury. The sandwich is already quite saucy, and yet more sauce arrives on the side. Good for fries if you choose to switch the salad to spuds. After hearing plenty about the Great Canadian Burger ($29), I couldn't resist splitting one, though I ultimately wish I hadn't. The short rib sandwich is better. The burger is hefty, with a thick beef patty that's overly dense and heavily mixed, giving it more of a frozen-patty texture than the crumbly tenderness of a good homemade one. The potato bun also struggled to hold up against the avalanche of toppings: grilled peameal bacon, cheddar, onion, tomato, arugula, pickle, and two sauces. I'm not sure why the kitchen insists on sweetening everything - the burger comes with caramelized onion bacon jam and a maple chipotle aioli, both quite sugary. If you enjoy sweeter savoury dishes, you'll probably like it. Otherwise, I'd skip the handhelds. On our weekday lunch visit, the restaurant was well staffed and attentive. Even though we never felt rushed, we were in and out within about an hour. If anything, the service bordered on overly attentive... during that hour we were interrupted six times by four different people checking if everything was okay. My suggestion: let the primary server handle most of the check-ins, and only have others step in if things get busy.

We sat on the patio and were lucky to catch live entertainment by Jan/Blackhat, who had an excellent, soft voice and played great tunes on his guitar--very enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary warm and toasty pita with excellent hummus, reminding us of how restaurants used to be. It was a delightful touch. I ordered the beef and lamb patties, which came with long-grain rice, roasted carrots, broccoli florets, and two sauces--tzatziki and a carrot/pepper spread. The patties were very tender and the dish was excellent. It also came with a delicious Greek salad. My wife had the vegetable moussaka, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that we would highly recommend. Cheers

They do not skimp on the meat at all, there's so much more than I was expecting. It's seasoned pretty good and cooked well. I do wish there was more tomato and olives though, and the lettuce could have been cut to be bite sized. They also put plenty of sauce on it too, which I loved! I like that there's the option to buy a bottle of the garlic sauce too if you really love it. Beef bowl 9/10 Same as above except just beef. It was cooked good, a little well done, but still falls apart in your mouth. Had good flavor and seasoning. Feta dip 9/10 This is a huge container of dip and worth the cost. Naturally, it's salty because feta is a salty cheese, but whatever it's mixed with, I'm assuming yogurt or something similar, does tame it down a bit. Pita was nice and warm
