My husband made reservations and took me here for our anniversary back in April. It was lovely! The view of the lake was very beautiful and the food was great! Everything we ordered came out hot and tasty. The desserts were well made. I wouldn't wear heels again since their parking lot is gravel, but all was wonderful. read more

Skip. Our waiter was the bartender. As a former bartender it's hard to be both. He had no time. We waited 10 minutes to place w drink order. On next round we realized to place everything at once as he was getting 2 tables (that came in before us) just us at once Food was mediocre at best. I got the grouper. Asparagus was bitter and not cooked, fish cooked medium and got cold quickly. I ordered a bottle of wine for the table. Most acidic Riesling is ever. When I asked to Dora it home they did not offer a seal or bag. Overall for $70 a waste of money read more

We had a good experience at Lake House Kitchen & Bar. The food was good, the service was great, and we had a beautiful view of the lake from our table. We specifically went for brunch, though, and were disappointed to find out when we arrived that they've stopped serving brunch entirely. It was still listed on their website the day before our visit, so that was a bit of a bummer since brunch was the reason we chose to go. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere, but I definitely recommend updating the website so guests know what to expect before making plans. read more

A very disappointing evening here. I've been here before in the service and food were great, however, this time everything was lacking. Service was poor. I had to go up to the bar to get things that I needed, the staff was very unfriendly and food was average. The only really good thing about the evening was the location of being by the water. Not sure it if was just an off night as I understand that happens, however consistency is absolutely key read more

Very nice restaurant between Kent and Streetsboro. I wish I had taken a picture of the food and not the outside bar view. Anyway: We ordered up a Carmenere and a Pinot Noir to start, tasty glasses of wine, and enjoyed the view. Dinner was the Shrimp Scampi and Linguine and a Salmon spiced just right with broccoli. Great meals. Washed those down with Sangiovese and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Polished off with a flourless chocolate cake. Pretty good, and kinda like a lighter fudge cake. Total prior to tip $107. Good meal good surroundings. This is not a weekly stop, but every couple of months it is a nice place to dine. read more

The Lake House Kitchen + Bar is lakeside restaurant with a gorgeous view of east Twin Lake. I drove by many times until finally stopping in. I was pleasantly surprised with my entire experience. FOOD: I always order perch when it's on the menu. And so, I ordered Crispy Lake Perch ($25). Perch was fried and seasoned to perfection. One of the best and most plentiful perch dishes that I've tasted. AMBIANCE: Casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed my meal on the patio on the perfect summer day. Lake views are gorgeous. You're able to walk right up to the lake and take photos. I really wish one could swim in the lake. SERVICE: Service was very attentive and pleasant. I really enjoyed that my meal was delivered to my table at lightning speed. PARKING: Gravel lot parking I look forward to returning. Next time I'm thinking of enjoying brunch and a book. The views are gorgeous, be sure to visit! read more

Dined inside on a busy Saturday night in August. Luckily we were able to call in a somewhat last minute reservation and get a table. Despite the crowd and the fact that a very large table was sat in our section at the same time, or waitress did a pretty good job of making sure we were attended too. Food was seasonal and delicious! I'm excited to go back and try other dishes. read more

Think the cook was sick. Worse meal I ever had. Just terrible. So bad would never try it again lol

The ambiance was nice with a gorgeous view to the lake. The service was timely and friendly. We ordered clam chowder and fish and chips. They were very tasty. The manu was too short. Overall we enjoyed our visit. read more

The Lake House Kitchen & Bar - Fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Kent, Ohio

The drinks were good. The clam chowder shouldn't be called a soup. Maybe 1 oz of broth in a bowl. The rest was mainly potatoes. The chicken sandwich and fries were not hot, as one would expect. The perch dinner was just ok. Veggies not good. The chicken dinner was not appealing. The chicken that was supposed to be roasted was white and not roasted as the menu suggests. Would not eat here again. read more

Fiancé and I went here for our anniversary, will definitely be back! Food was great and had a lot of flavor. Drinks were great and service was awesome! Definitely recommend read more

We had a great time with two other couples at this restaurant. The six of us sat on their patio overlooking the lake on a perfect late summer night. Service was very good with periodic checkins despite a packed house. The server knew the menu, tap list and specials off the top of their head. Always nice. The table shared appetizers: corn fritters and hush puppies. Both were tasty and piping hot. I had a burger for dinner, cooked as ordered to medium-rare. My gf had the maple chicken and loved it. Some folks had dessert that looked good (flourless chocolate cake and raspberry cheesecake). Tap list was good and full bar for cocktails. Great atmosphere, good service and delicious food. We'll be back. read more

Great little place that has a great atmosphere with a gorgeous view. Such a gem! The Loud Dogs are exactly that. They create such a party in your mouth that it makes you want to get loud and tell everyone how great they are! read more

Wait staff was very attentive, and the food was so good. My husband had the Fish and Chips, and I had the Sausage and Perogies. I'm always looking for something different on the menu, and you don't find Perogies everywhere, it was so good served with sour cream and carmalized onions. We weren't able to sit on the patio yet because it wasn't open, but we can't wait to go back and sit outside to enjoy the view of the lake. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a casual dinner place that has great food and a view. read more

The view is spectacular at this chill lakeside restaurant. It was a bit hot, and I was solo, so I sat at the bar which overlooks the lake. I was acknowledged immediately and served shortly thereafter. The bartender was kind and offered great suggestions. I ordered the clam chowder. Believe me, this did not disappoint! It was filled with delicious clams and chunky vegetables. Excellent. I also ordered the walleye bites, thinking that would be a nice small dinner. Unfortunately, these were flavorless, and the beet yogurt was too lemony and didn't really compliment the fish. No worries, though. The bartender was on it and quickly placed another order for me. The cornmeal-breaded perch was my choice. The perch: good, a bit overcooked, nicely seasoned The potatoes: potatoes The veggies: OMG. PERFECTLY DONE! The star of the plate if you ask me. I enjoyed my time here and will visit again. read more

Let me start off by saying that I was so excited after looking at the menu online. So we went for brunch today, we were so hungry. So we started with the buffalo chicken dip and the shrimp cocktail. Both were good. Then my husband and son got soup of the day which was broccoli cheddar. Bad is an understatement they both took one bite and did not want anymore. Then the kids burger we had to send back I said I would pay for it but it was a quarter of the size of the bun and slice of cheese so I ordered an adult burger. The potatoes with my BELT were soggy and gross. I don't know the whole meal was a let down. read more

Snagged a same day res, when we arrived we did wait 15 mins for our table, which had been open the whole time. I would have preferred to be seated with an explanation if the staff was loaded up and running behind It was mid 70's beautiful night but their patio had not opened for the season yet. We sat inside. The air condition was either broken or off and it was uncomfortably warm. The ambiance is clean, cozy. But the layout is backwards. The bar is centered so there are a few tables at the great big windows with a view of the lake. The booths at the back are dark and lacking access to the view I noticed the patio is set the same way. The bar is closest to the lake and dining behind that. Maybe to try to have folks sitting at bar facing the lake, but it limits access and view for majority Service was friendly, and concise. Not overly warm or bubbly but effective The menu is super. We enjoyed a great bar list and had trouble choosing from cocktail list. Yum!! Dinner menu offered fish, steak, pasta, and on target pricing . And classics to unique on the apps. We enjoyed the walleye bites! Fish and chips, salmon, cod, perch were all the front runners. We enjoyed a decent and not obscenely large serving (enough to take home) We are looking forward to a return trip on the patio read more

The atmosphere is lovely . On a lake . The inside was comfortable. The outside seating is really nice. But the food was a big disappointment . I had Walley bites that were dry. I also had their homemade chips that were cold and the dipping sauce was not all that good . We had fried cauliflower it was ok and crab fritters that were ok. We had flat bread pizza that didn't even look pleasant and fried chicken with smashed red skin potatoes with vegetable were ok , also fish and chips and the chips were frozen fries . The service was ok. All and all a big disappointment . We won't be going back. It's too bad because I loved the place. read more

Great ambiance and there's a view of the Lake-even from the bar. Great casual service and the food is great- everything we've had is that rare kind of food that tastes even better than it sounds. Don't miss the drink menu-or the Blood and Sand! New owners have made a big impression, glad to see the place jumping again. read more

What a cute restaurant right in the lake! It has a beautiful view of you're in the lake side of the restaurant. The food is good, nothing to write home about, but the servers are nice. The side on the lake has a nice atmosphere. The other side also looked nice but a little more casual like a gastropub. The place is not big, but it also has outdoor seating. When the weather is nice. We'll have to return for when the weather is nicer so we can sit outside and enjoy the view even more! read more

Super great location with kind staff and good drinks. Enjoyed the outdoor space with friends and some average food. You can tell they are aiming a bit higher and sometimes delivered and others missing a bit. Loaded chips were very good, little bit of a gap on the perch which is a miss being by a lake. Still a good place for socializing and will be back. read more

What restaurant thinks that plain cooked carrots is okay to serve? Was I mistakenly at a nursing home? The Mahi Mahi - I think - was put in a fryer and the sauce was flavorless- tastes like mayo. The rest of our food was just ok- Maple Chicken sandwiches were very bland. Fish and chips - meh. I had higher hopes. Luckily they have the view in their favor and the staff was great but a lot of help is required in the kitchen. read more

First time here since the new owner and name. Inside is the same with a nautical theme to match being on the lake. Staff was very friendly and helpful - they were having fun at work. One of my wife's buttons is hand clearing and they met her expectations. Walleye bytes are a great appetizer, my wife enjoyed the fish and chips. Crispy perch was tender and flavorful with an apple chutney. We will be back. read more

We came here around 6pm on a Saturday, reservation in hand for the patio. I don't think we needed the reservation, but who knew. I've been wanting to try this place ever since I heard about it a year ago. It's a neat looking building with a decent view of the water from the patio. It was almost 90 outside and not a lot of air circulating. The patio is not very large, so the reservation might be the ticket if you want to be out there. The place was moderately busy, not too bad. Our server was friendly and efficient, which is all I ask. That and keep the refills coming without me asking. The food was really good, but my main complaint is I just felt it was slightly overpriced for what we ate. Two piece of fish and some fries, a dollop of cole slaw and a few hush puppies,,, $22? Idk, I guess that's what most of these places are charging these days. I'd eat here again, but I don't generally frequent this area. Check it out if you're nearby. read more

Just walked out. Sat at our table for over 20 minutes. We were told that the kitchen was behind so no big deal. When the 2 tables that arrived after us were greeted, had drinks ordered and brought and had orders taken before we were acknowledged I had enough. read more

Ambiance was really nice, the wait staff really friendly but the food was not good. I ordered the purch and was really disappointed. The fish needed some seasoning, the potato's and fish were cold. The worst is it took an hour to get our appetizer the crab fritters was hot but not good. Really disappointing. The lake looked pretty and again wait staff seemed pretty nice. read more

Very good food and service. Our server Sophie was exceptional. She was the hardest working server I have seen in a longgg time! However there was a worker that had a very eccentric look to say the least. This was definitely not appealing or someone I would have in my own restraunt. read more

Great find on Yelp!! Fish and chips were amazing!! The tartar sauce had an amazing flavor and not just mayonnaise.... Light and tangy and complimented the fish well! Fries were seasoned and crispy! Hush puppies were tasty and not heavy. Service was impeccable and my old fashioned was perfectly prepared! read more

I didn't get a chance to try this wonderful restaurant, but I have to give five stars for customer service. Had a reservation for dinner but received a call a few hours prior that there was a staff emergency and they had to close the kitchen. Was still able to enjoy a nice margarita on the patio and take in the views, while chatting with the friendly staff. I bought a gift card for my family - so they can come back and enjoy this summer. I am sure the food is amazing and since I'm not local, I'm sad I missed out! I would recommend giving this restaurant a try. The location, views are so pretty and they have an impressive menu. I also liked the laid back vibes. read more
