This place has a great location overlooking one of the local lakes and has a lot of space for dining. We made reservations on a Friday night, but we realized quickly that this step was not necessary in securing a table because there was not a lot of customer traffic. However, we were happy to be joining for their happy hour and the outdoor scenery. Our view was a little skewed due to the lack of cleanliness of their windows, but I can only imagine how difficult it is to keep them clean at all times. First, we sat for a few cocktails and appetizers on the restaurant side as there is a tasting room on the other end. Our waitress was very sweet and efficient. We all shared a few appetizers which included Bacon Jalapeño Shrimp, Crab cakes, and Bruschetta - they were all fairly enjoyable. We decided to venture over to the "Tasting Room", but I will admit, there is nothing special or really different between this room and the main restaurant. They have the same exact food and drink menu, however, you can order a wine flight which is decently priced but the wine was not very good. It tasted stale from maybe the bottles being open for too long. We also sat for at least 40 minutes waiting for the waiter/bartender to take our order. We did ask him to give us a few minutes after sitting down to make a our decisions, but then we had to wave him down to finally pay attention to us. Mind you, there were only 4 tables and we arrived first so that was really not the best experience to start out. Once each of us decided on a small plate entrée, my wife and I were not impressed. The Petite Chopped Steak was pretty lackluster. This place has a great location which is why I'm giving it 3 stars, but I struggle to find the desire to return in the future. read more

Lakepoint - New American Near Me - Bella Vista, Arkansas

Best Restaurant in Bella Vista! On the lake with the perfect sunset view! Reservations are helpful but not required! Happy Hour until 6!

Food was very subpar for dinner. Tasted very frozen prepared and fast food like. Views are amazing! Makes it worth it.

The setting is beautiful, but the food was not great especially for what we paid. I ordered steak frites and the fries came out completely cold. My steak was cooked right however the sauce on it was more like a watery jam than an actual demi-glaze. The bacon wrapped scallops were very undercooked. The waitress only checked on us once at the end of our meal and didn't bother to ask why we hadn't much. I won't be going back. read more

Both the food and the service was wonderful and I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Wonderful food, drinks and atmosphere at great prices. Love the Lobster Bisque, Beet Salad and Grilled Salmon. New menu is amazing! read more

On balance over the last few years LP has been relatively consistent. Unfortunately as with most restaurants in Bella Vista, retention of wait staff is difficult due to location and quite honestly tips. The menu offerings are basic with some creative and imaginative choices from time to time. Both wine bar, restaurant & bar support the best lake views anywhere in NWA. read more

First time visiting. The location sits on a marina and beautiful lake ripe for fishing and boating. We dined for dinner and the sunset views were breathtaking. There is ample dining space inside, outside and in the wine tasting room, which also has outside seating. The location includes several special event spaces and a cute gazebo for outside ceremonies. Now, for the food. I regret not taking photos. The presentation was as good as the food. Our party dined on: Thai steak salad Baby's back ribs with potatoes and roasted Brussel sprouts Asparagus and filet mignon. Amy restaurant serving creme brûlée is my kinda place. It did not disappoint as we enjoyed two servings! read more

Had a nice birthday dinner party with 12 of us. Went well. Good value and service was good. Good place for this

Just shared an amazing meal with my son. Great food, you owe it to yourself to make a reservation. Happy 4th. "Don't forget to add a dessert" :) read more

Lakepoint - The view! - New American Near Me - Bella Vista, Arkansas

We ate dinner here twice in the same week and had completely different experiences. The first time the service was great and prompt, but the next time our server kept disappearing over and over. At least the food was very good both times and the view can't be beat. For our first meal, we started by sharing an Ahi Tuna appetizer that featured perfectly seared and seasoned tuna. We then each had a salad, then the "lite" version of the Petite Chopped Steam and Surf & Turf plates. The food was so good and our server so fantastic (thank you Ashley!) we decided to come back the next night. For our second meal, we started with the Crab Cakes, which were delicious and chock full of crab. We followed that up with the "lite" Stuffed Shrimp, which featured a very tasty stuffing that did not overwhelm the shrimp. While the food both times was great, the service the second time was almost non-existent. Our server kept popping out to deal with his other tables, but seemed to forget we existed. We finally flagged down a different server to check on the status of our appetizer, and he informed us it had never been put in. After that was fixed, we constantly had to flag other people down to get served. What was really irritating is that the day before, we ordered 4 courses and were done in under 1-1/2 hours; the second day we only ordered 3 courses but were still there s-1/2 hours later. Talk about night and day! I read other reviews saying the problem was being short staffed, While that might explain some of it, I think our problem was that we were given a server who could only handle two tables at a time, which didn't include us. We might be back again for the food and view, but not for a while. A real shame! read more

Love the small plates! Yummy food! Go there every week! Just moved here from east coast & would recommend it for sure.

Came here for a special event with my daughter, the restaurant setting is great... Enjoyed sitting on the deck waiting for the other guest. The food was great, had ribs that fell right off the bone! read more

Excellent, attentive staff with a great menu. Wine selections and appetizers blew us away; get the potatoes!!

Great lakeside venue with great, reasonably priced food. Has a great wine bar. The fishing is also good on Loch Lomond

Went here for a date on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend. Nice atmosphere l, good service, and decent food. My complaint tho is that the average meal price on all review and booking sites is 20-30; that was not the case. Despite no advertisement or disclaimer anywhere online, we were presented with a pre set menu with no prices listed. We both enjoyed our meal but can't say I enjoyed it $130 worth for a relatively simple standard dinner for 2. Nothing crazy was ordered either, just the standard chicken and fish options. Decent spot but probably won't be returning for a price that could get you nearly 3 meals for 2 at restaurants of the same caliber in NWA. read more

First time to visit. Absolutely gorgeous day, amazing setting, and excellent service. Prices are just right and we will certainly share the word and visit again. This place is quite the gem! read more

The food is awesome next to the lake at sunset. Had a group of friends a few weeks ago and the service was great.

We went for our 20th Anniversary celebration and EVERYTHING was outstanding. We had the charcuterie board as appetizer, sometimes I stay away from these as the items tend to be dry but everything tasted fresh. Husband and I ordered from the small plates the lollipop lamb chops and the surf & turf skewers and they were both cooked to perfection. Taste was amazing. My kids ordered the flat iron streak and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. For desert we ordered créeme brûlée, vanilla ice cream and lava cake.....all amazing. Our server was amazing also. We've been there before for brunch, over 2 years ago and it was also great. But last night, have to say it exceeded my expectation. Highly recommend it! read more

We recently visited here and were pleasantly surprised. They've redone the entire building so that it has a modern but casual atmosphere. The views are great with all of the windows although you do have the option to eat outside if you'd like. The staff worked with me on gluten-free options and custom made me an entree per my request. All of the salads and entrees were very good. After dinner we walked over to their wine bar and had a flight of wine alongside a fire pit. What more can you ask for? Seriously, if you're tired of the chain restaurants in Northwest Arkansas and are just looking to mix things up, do yourself a favor and check out this place. It's worth the short drive! read more

Four of us had dinner, every main dish and every side dish were exceptional. Service was good, a fine night at Lakepoint.

Came here this past Saturday for a nice dinner on the lake for the first time. I had family in town and thought it would be the perfect place to go. We had early reservations at 5pm. As the night went on it became more and more crowded. I don't think I would say reservations are required, but I would recommend it. Majority of all the tables have a view or at least somewhat of a view. I would recommend requesting to be seated near the window. There is some outside seating as well. Customer service was great. The hostesses, our waitress and everyone we encountered. Our waitress was so friendly, personable and helpful. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice, higher end. I appreciated the look and feel of the whole evening. Everything on the menu looked delicious, so it was hard to choose. We had the truffle fries and cauliflower for an appetizer. Both were good. I ordered the trout for my entree and it was good. Everyone liked what they got. The only reason this is not 5 stars is because I was expecting the food to be better. It wasn't bad ... it was good, but it just didn't have that extra something I was hoping for, especially for the price and whole ambiance of the evening. I would go back again though and try something else. read more

My first time here had me wowed by the beautiful lake and marina views. The food was just ok unfortunately. I had the lobster bisque, a side salad and the small plate stuffed shrimp. This won't stop me from coming back and trying again, tho. If it's not too hot, I definitely recommend sitting on the deck. I'll update this if I make it back to try a regular meal. read more

We had our wedding reception here. Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff was so on top of everything, and made the event stress-free. I would highly recommend Lakepoint to anyone and everyone! read more

Their website has, in a very prominent place, a link to "Make A Reservation" but when you click on that, you get taken to a page that gives you a choice to make a reservation on Yelp or to call for a reservation. Clicking on the "Reserve a table on Yelp" link takes you to the Yelp page for the restaurant and if you scroll ALLLllllll the way down, there is a not too obvious link for "Book a Table in Bella Vista" which is the only actionable link related to reservations. If you click on that, you get to a "Best Reservations in Bella Vista" page on Yelp where the Lakepoint is featured among other options. Click on that and you go back to the first Yelp page you landed on after clicking on "Reserve a table on Yelp" on their website. So, in other words, you get to go round and round and round and go absolutely no where. So OK, I call to make a reservation. But today is Tuesday, they are not open on Tuesday so you cannot make a reservation. Bottom line, the links to make a reservation on Yelp needs to be removed and the reference to making a reservation should be updated to reflect that it can only be done during listed business hours. A total waste of time - so now I get to choose whether my party should take a chance on getting a table on Wednesday at Lakepoint or simply opt to dine elsewhere where the ability to make a reservation is actually actionable. Not a good first impression at all. read more

Very nice place to relax with the lake view and enjoy good food. The portions are generous. The drink selection is good, and the service is excellent. read more

This one of our favorite places to dine. Always a good meal and great service. The atmosphere is great not too noisy and if you get a table where you can look out on the lake all the better. Again always a good experience! read more

We took Grandpa to dinner and were surprised by how good it was. Miso cod won the best dinner of the night!

We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary dinner at Lakepoint and had a wonderful dining experience . We were warmly welcomed at the front door and were seated immediately. Our server was prompt and professional. We ordered two fish entrees: one cod and one walleye. They were both prepared and plated just right. After dinner we shared a piece of chocolate peanut butter cake and it was plenty for the two of us. Reservations are probably a good idea as the restaurant had filled while we were there. It was great to see so many people enjoying a nice dinner on the lake. We are already planning our next visit. read more

Lisa Paton at Lake Point was so kind. 20+ Seniors at West showed up thinking they could take pictures - not realizing it was reservation only- and quite pricey. She let the kids take pictures with the beautiful views on the beautiful grounds! Forever grateful to her for bending the rules and doing a beautiful thing for this group of amazing kids! Thank you, Lisa and Lake Point!!! read more

One of the best places in NWA. The view is beautiful and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. We enjoyed every aspect of it. Being new to southern cuisine, Catfish was delicious, jambalaya was amazing, and the lamb shanks were perfect. Definitely our cup of tea. read more

First time for having brunch at Lakepoint it was excellent!! The service was great and the view of the lake was spectacular. The breakfast was delicious, I had the 3 meat skillet, while my wife had the veggie omelette, it was much better than commercial breakfasts everywhere else, and it wasn't overpriced. We will definitely be visiting more regularly. read more

Visited for the first time last week and sat outside on the patio of the wine tasting room. Lovely view at sundown, great dirty martini, and our food was very good. Service was even better, thanks Hunter!! We'll be back! Can't wait to check out their happy hour specials. read more
