We have been to the Lakehouse twice before, always had good service and good food. The food was…read morevery good this time, as well, but the service was very disappointing. First, the hostess acted like we were an intrusion into her evening, didn't welcome us or make eye contact. She sat us at a booth, which didn't work, so she did seat us at a table. I asked for a vegetarian menu, knowing there was one, but she walked off, did not return. Our waiter was a young man, spoke very softly; we both had a difficult time hearing him. My wife ordered her drink; I asked for a few more minutes. That drink did not appear until half my meal was over, which I did not appreciate. And I had to ask 3 times to get the drink, including asking another waiter. We ordered salad and main dish; my vegetarian menu finally appeared. It just seemed both the hostess and our waiter did not care to attend to us. I do not know if we will be returning; and to top this all off, both the hostess and waiter called us 'Guys'. When two older women are sitting at the same table, we are ladies, or simply nice to see you two tonight. Please tell your wait staff to get this right. We like Bungalow Lakehouse, it is close to home, and the atmosphere is comfortable.

Ventured out for a change of scenery and decided to try Ivy by the Lake. We arrived around 8:30 PM,…read moreand the ambiance was really nice-- really cute spot with good music. We ordered the hummus and pita, which were excellent. The hummus was incredibly creamy and smooth--one of two the most memorable I've had--and the pita was full of flavor and extremely soft. I ordered the Chapli Kabab Burger, which was just okay for me. It comes with two patties, making it a bit too heavy, and while it had some spice, it lacked depth of flavor and had more jam than I preferred. The Brussels sprouts were heaven sent, and the hookah was very smooth. Service was good--nothing standout, but nothing negative either. A DJ came on later in the night, which added to the atmosphere and made it lively and allowing us to talk comfortably. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back.

They recommended the Mixed Grill and it was extraordinary!! Lots of spices (some very hot!) and an epic burst of flavorful kebabs and grilled vegetables! It was more than generous serving all three of us, with delicious leftovers! The beef kofta, steak chimichurri, and the grilled chicken were so flavorful and tender! They also had lively music playing in the background. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend this place for the service, atmosphere, and excellent Mediterranean fare! It's fresh and fabulous!! We are now waiting on dessert and can't wait!!

Six of us went to Clove Restaurant in Sterling for dinner around 8 PM. The restaurant was…read morecompletely empty, which was already concerning. Sadly, we soon found out why. We ordered biryani, karahi chicken, chicken corn soup, and a few other dishes. The food was terrible. The chicken was cold, dry, and tasted like it had been reheated or left over. The chicken corn soup was especially bad, with a strong unpleasant chicken smell that made it hard to eat. It was very embarrassing because we had guests with us. We spent nearly $200, and the quality of the food was unacceptable. A refund would honestly be more appropriate than charging full price for food like this. The restaurant's website looks flashy with nice pictures, but the actual food does not match at all. Even the service felt unprofessional--the waiter did not appear properly dressed. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please avoid it if you can. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but this experience deserves honesty.

Let me be clear: This place is a complete money trap…read more I visited this restaurant on July 20, 2025 with a friend, and it turned out to be one of the most dishonest and shady dining experiences I've ever had. On the receipt, the pizzas are listed as $0.00, but then the cost is broken up into "pizza size" and "toppings" in small print. This is clearly a tactic to hide the actual price and confuse customers. To make things worse, they automatically added an 18% service charge without telling us -- it wasn't on the menu, and nobody mentioned it when we ordered. In the end, we were charged nearly $100 for a mediocre meal and hookah that was absolutely not worth the price. This kind of pricing system feels deliberately misleading, and the staff made no effort to explain anything. Transparency? Zero. Customer respect? Zero. It honestly feels like a scam wrapped in a lounge. My warning: Stay away. Don't waste your time or money here -- there are far better, more honest places around.

Hookahs, on the other hand, are inconsistent -- sometimes smooth, sometimes harsh, and not always worth the price. The environment is decent before 9pm, when it feels like a casual spot to grab a bite and relax. Unfortunately, after 9pm, the atmosphere changes drastically. The crowd and overall vibe make it feel more unsafe than enjoyable, which takes away from what could otherwise be a great night out. If you're just here for food and an early evening, you'll probably be fine. Anything later than that, I can't recommend this place as a safe or relaxing option.
