The service was efficient and friendly. While they could not make a formal espresso martini, Nicole did her best to offer an alternative which was appreciated. The outside patio looked pretty but it was too windy to sit there. The inside ambiance was more diner style (smelled like it as well unfortunately) and did not match the outside appearance. The clam chowder was hearty and full of potatoes and clams. The highly anticipated brunch burger was a disappointment. Upon arrival, the dish already had a smear of aoli on the side of the plate. Too hungry to wonder if the plate was clean (till after the meal ). The egg was perfectly cooked sunny side up. However, the millionaire's bacon was not thick nor had much flavor. The meat of the burger itself was tasteless and overcooked (asked for medium but showed up well done). When one is told to lower dining expectations in lake county you would have thought for sure one can't go wrong with classic burger... apparently not unfortunately. read more

Park Place in Lakeport quietly delivers one of those salads that reminds you simple, fresh ingredients--done right--never miss. The Greek quinoa salad with chicken is effortlessly composed: crisp greens, briny olives, red onion, tender protein, and a generous snowfall of feta that actually means something. The quinoa adds just enough substance to make it satisfying without weighing it down, and the pepperoncinis on the side? A small but intentional detail that elevates the whole plate. Everything tasted clean, bright, and balanced--no heavy hand, no shortcuts. Just quality ingredients allowed to shine. In a world of overworked, overdressed salads, this one keeps it refined--and that's exactly why it stands out. read more

We returned here after many years and were pleased to find the food as delicious as we remembered. You will find indoor or outdoor seating. If you are there on a Friday night you can expect festivities, loud live music and dancing in the park across the street. The pork chop with poblano sauce was delicious as was the Caesar salad. Service was fine, somewhat slow, but it is a relaxing place. this is clearly a place loved by the locals. read more

A must visit if you're here, excellent food and service. It's a not so hidden gem. Right smack dab between downtown and lake views. I had the Prime Rib French Dip special with a Bourbon Brown Sugar Smash cocktail. Phenomenal. They have an adequate menu selection, not too big not too small and daily specials. Staff are friendly and have all the good vibes. Restrooms are clean and cute. The porch is the best seating, open, spacious with a beautiful view of the lake and Library Park. Highly recommend Park Place. read more

It was a beautiful day to sit outside. A cool place to people watch and enjoy a good meal. Service was great, the food was good, and the view of the Lake was always a plus. No problem coming back here. Next time I will bring the wife. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life read more

Had lunch on a sunny afternoon. Wish we'd sat at an outdoor table as the inside is somewhat small. Nice views of the lake and park. Our server was pleasant, friendly and quick to take our order. The lunch menu had a variety of foods, but not an extensive menu. We had the bay shrimp sandwich on croissant roll with side salad, and seafood pasta. Both were slightly bland, but otherwise good. read more

We came here after walking around Lakeport and our host had been here many times and had a good experience. A beautiful place on the water with both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated quickly but then it was hard to get anyone to take the order. Really needed some water, sure would have been nice to get it soon after we were seated. I had the shrimp salad and found it was just ok....snd very small for the amount of money charged. Everything on the menu was pricey. I guess you pay for the location. I liked the service and food a lot better at another restaurant in the area. The couple that brought us here said they must be having a bad day... read more

Visiting relatives in the area we decided to go out to lunch. This place is really busy. We called to make a reservation for a party of six, hoping for 1:30. They said they couldn't seat us until 2:30. Okay.... When we arrived just before 2:30, there were quite a number of empty, cleared and cleaned, tables. Hmm??? They took us to our table and disappeared for a bit. I can see why the place is popular. It's on the waterfront near the yacht club. They have both indoor and outdoor dining options and a view that is awesome. On to the food. We ordered Gorgonzola bread as an appetizer; it was very good. The table ordered a few burgers, a sandwich, salad, and pasta. Everything looked good. My smokehouse burger was overcooked. I ordered it medium, it came out well done. Dry, dry, dry!!! I didn't send it back because it took a long time to get it in the first place. The servers were not very attentive, and they added a "large party tip" at 20% to my bill. They didn't mention it, and I'm more accustomed to a gratuity being added to parties checks that exceed six patrons. I certainly didn't add any extra, but I don't know whether I'll get back... prices are high and the food was not that great this visit. read more

Flies all over the restaurant and on our table. But we gave the restaurant a chance then served a bottle of water w/ black stuff floating. I fell asleep waiting for our food and the waitress didn't even bother letting us know for the delay. We informed the waitress we're just leaving because it's taking so long, of course she served the food. We decided to take it out & still paid for the food while the food was already cold. I feel like we were racially profiled in this restaurant. No apologies at all. So sad...... read more

Food was pretty good and the service was great. Definitely seemed a lot nicer than other restaurants in the area.

Great food, great service, a real gem! We ordered several dishes , everything was top quality. The fettuccine alfredo was outstanding! This was a wonderful treat! read more

Outdoor dining was great to sit and enjoy the nice views of Clearlake. Clean restaurant and friendly waitress:rapid service and good management. Menu was reasonably priced. Seafood pasta and sandwiches were pretty legit and fresh;desserts were also fantastic. Certainly worth dining here. read more

I have never been disappointed in the food here. Recently, I took my sister there for lunch. We ordered the Gorgonzola pizza. It was SOOOOO GOOD! I will definitely order that again!!! If you have had their Gorg-bread you have an idea of how good it is! read more

Everything is good the pork belly was fantastic & it was one of the things they could make a small change so I could eat it the one thing I don't like is they change the menu every six months or whenever, cozy environment lovely staff read more

The Park Place has been a staple in Lakeport forever. My classmates went here for prom in the 90s and many locals love the place. When I shared with a local that we stopped into The Park Place for dinner, they said the restaurant is famous for their great pasta dishes but known in a bad way for their meats as they are never consistent. I wish I had known that before we had the Pork Chop and Steak. Read the details below. I brought my family here over Labor Day weekend on our visit to Lakeport and we had a nice time. It was a Sunday night and there were five of us. We were seated promptly with menus as it wasn't quite busy yet at 5:20pm. There was a person playing loud music in the park so we opted for an inside table. Shortly there after, someone from behind the bar came by to take our drink orders and brought our drinks. The Cucumber Mule was refreshing and a nice start to dinner on a warm night. It took some time for our food order to be taken but the same person from behind the bar came to take our order. She was busting her butt and seemed quite efficient in her work darting from the hostess stand greeting regular patrons, making drinks, pouring wine, and visiting tables. We shared a few appetizers starting with Fried Calamari, bowl of Clam Chowder, Gorgonzola Garlic Bread, and the Bay Shrimp Salad. Everything looked great and most everything tasted good. The Fried Calamari was fried very well and had good flavor even without the dipping sauce. The Bay Shrimp Salad was fresh and yummy with the freshly made Blue Cheese Dressing. As I remembered from high school, the Gorgonzola Garlic Bread was still delicious, toasted just right with the perfect amount of seasoning. The regular Garlic Bread accompanying the Clam Chowder was also delicious. The Clam Chowder not at much. It lacked the flavor of clams and seemed more like a bacon and potato chowder. The Fungo Formaggio Pizza with gluten free crust was very good. The flavors went well and the crust was soft and light but not too thin. My son enjoyed his Mac and Cheese Penne dish. The Spicy Blackened Pork Chop was not blackened nor spicy. It was rather dry and lacked seasoning in the actual meat itself. There was a roasted poblano cream sauce that was good. The Medium Rare Steak and Frites I ordered came blackened and was very overcooked. I waved down the server and said that I had ordered Medium Rare and showed her it was very Medium Well. She said, "Yep, that's over done. I'll get you another one and just eat around it." She never apologized for the kitchen's mistake though, not even later in the evening. I ate the fries and veggies plus the shrimp I had added while I waited for a new steak. The fries were crisp and seasoned well. The new steak arrived and I was pleasantly surprised that it came with fries and veggies again, plus the steak was cooked just right. I ordered a red wine to go with the steak and the wine was very good. Meanwhile, the overdone steak just stayed on the table the entire night. At the end of the meal, the same server came by to offer us dessert. We opted for the Creme Brulee. It was yummy. Overall, I enjoyed most of my meal and was happy to support a local restaurant. For most of the evening, service was OK and as attentive as they could've been except for the aloof way the overdone steak was handled. The restaurant was slammed and there was a line for a table. I did receive a new steak so no complaints there but the server never apologized which I found rude. She did apologize to other people for things happening around our table. The person who brought me the new steak didn't apologize either. A simple, "I'm sorry" goes a long way. read more

Have gone many times. The service is slow. I sent back my dinner, the hamburger patty was so small and was burnt on both sides, was so hard I could not eat it. Send back and did not reorder. The next day called to see if they have clam chowder, was told yes. Drive 16 minutes and waited 10 minutes for the waitress and was told they do not have it today because they have been out since the day before. read more

I have been a loyal customer to Park Place restaurant for eight years that ends tonight. This week, my fiancé and I both called separately to make reservations for tonight, Valentine's Day. We were both told no reservations for less than five people. So we decided we would go early to be able to have dinner there and we arrived at 5 PM, there were many open tables, we were told that the wait was over an hour, and there were many couples in front of us, but there was no one they're waiting. We asked why & they said people were told to call in a half an hour before their arrival and they could be put on the list. No one told either of us like this when we called separately. We explained that no one told us and she wasn't willing to accommodate us so we left and we're going to The Broiler instead. Very bad Business practice and a crappy way to treat locals who hold up their business in the off-season. It could've been made right in the moment and no accommodation or apology was made. I'll use my dinner dollars elsewhere. I wouldn't plan on any holiday there if you're less than five people because you won't have seating that is assured in any kind of a timely fashion. The food is good, but not good enough to be treated like that. Previously wrote 3 five star reviews for this restaurant, so clearly they pissed off and alienated a good customer. read more

The GORGONZOLA BREAD is and always has been our reason to return to this establishment decade after decade. Their menu has something to offer for every taste bud and the lake/park view is beautiful. Although we currently were just visiting, I'm a previous long-time resident, Park Place is a must stop each time in town:) read more

Their burgers are wonderful. Balanced amount of gooey sauce and accoutrements. Fries were cooked perfectly. Our server was great too. I've been going here for years and they do a great job. Only negative is inside ambience--not really welcoming and the art on the wall could do with an update. read more

Great location with views of Clear Lake, which right out the door. One of the best club sandwiches we've ever had. The grilled chipotle chicken sandwich (with bacon and melted cheese!) on soft brioche bun was divine. Service was excellent and friendly. Recommended! read more

We were down in the Lakeport area checking out the little downtown and the lake. We wanted to grab an early dinner and this place happened to be right by where I parked. Service was great! Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations for our drinks. We ordered the lavender lemon drops. Devine! Next we ordered the meatballs and the truffle & prosciutto pizza (minus the arugula and onions). One of the best meals we've had! Amazing flavors for both dishes. read more

My boyfriend and I went on a hike and were traveling though Lakeport on our way home. We were starving and stopped to have lunch at Park Place. I didn't have high hopes due to knowing nothing about the town or restaurants in Lake County. Such a cute restaurant with beautiful views of the lake. FOOD WAS GREAT! We ordered the turkey club sandwich and chipotle chicken sandwich, both were huge portions and had great flavor! Carlee was our server, she was kind and hospitable! We will be back next time we are in the area! read more

Unfortunately, our visit didn't live up to expectations. Our waitress, who had short orange-dyed hair, spent most of her time posing for photos -- throwing up peace signs and duck lips -- instead of checking on her tables. We felt forgotten and waited far too long for watered-down soda refills. The food was bland, and after finishing our meal, we had to get up and go to the front to pay since our server was nowhere to be found. Thankfully, the busser who rang us up was friendly -- one of the only highlights of our visit. We don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but we want to be honest. We won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place based on our experience. read more

Quality of food has slipped. Longtime customer and last 3 visits resulted in burned crabcakes, shrimp in salad was tasteless and was missing sprouts (as advertised). Spouse ordered chicken sandwich. It was served with a cold mushy bun. Sad to see a decline over the last 6 months. Family disappointed. Please bring back the quality of before! read more

I tried this restaurant based off the good reviews for a small salad for lunch. The bay shrimp salad was disappointing, in terms of price and portion size I did not think it was worth it for $22-24. If the shrimp were larger and/or marinated/seasoned, the salad would have been 4/5 or even 5/5 imo. I tried it a second time before reviewing, this time the shrimp scampi and was disappointed again. The shrimp had no flavor/seasoning. Two of the key ingredients in a shrimp scampi are garlic and butter, and they were difficult to taste in this dish. Just some extra flavor, garlic, butter, parsley, broth or onion would have made this dish. In addition to the lack of flavor, the pasta seemed a bit dry. The service was good, I did not dine in but ordered to go. I do see some negative reviews on poor customer service but I did not experience that. The location of the restaurant is also really beautiful, you have a view of the lake from the seating outside. read more

Bread pudding is pure goodness! Staff is great, food is good constant and nice vibes.

Food took forever to come out and they got our order wrong food was meh. But the ambience was nice.

The glorioso pasta dish was delicious! You can tell they make the fettuccine in house. I don't think I needed the artichoke hearts or olives though, but everything else was a 10/10. Wish I could I make this dish on my own. The Mediterranean Salad was okay, the dressing didn't make sense for the salad since it was almost a sweeter vinaigrette. I think just a swap of the dressing would make it great. The croissant bread pudding was amazing! The croissant part definitely made it more buttery in taste than a typical bread pudding which made it so delicious. read more

Nice views and service. Okay menu and a pleasant place. The patio is lovely to sit on, with lake views.

I've been going there occasionally for about 10 years previously the food and service were very good yesterday went for lunch and the food was overpriced and mediocre. This seems to be the trend in the restaurant industry these days. read more

We had to go into town from the mountain. Felt like stopping by Park Place for dinner. We got there around 5 which was a good time because it started to get packed around 5:30pm. Service was perfect. We were happy with our meals. The porkchop was delicious and the roasted potatoes were perfectly roasted! I would definitely order my meal again. My other half was happy with his pesto ravioli and soup. read more

Used to love this place growing up but tried to go in 4 times 7-7:30pm on a Thursday or weekends and they are closed even though their hours are supposed to be till 8pm which is still hella early. It was closed while it was literally light outside still and this place is mainly a dinner spot. That's my main complaint but I do love the food and all the servers read more

Decent food for Lake County which doesn't have an abundance of quality restaurants. The ambience is nice but when crowded can get a little loud. The location is great located by the lake next to Library park. Establishment charges mandatory gratuities on all to go orders read more

I felt racially profiled. We went there for Labor Day weekend. We waited an hour for food and while other were getting their food and checked in on refills on drinks. I asked for steak to be cooked medium well and it came as overwell done i was not asking for any steak sauce and while my family was eating one last member of my group was without food and she had to wave the waitress down and asks where her pasta dish was. It very horrible experience. read more
