Service and food were great. Consistent to my previous time here before pandemic. I almost lowered one star for them charging 20% service fee that does not go to the server. I seriously think this is a borderlin scam. Restaurants, please stop! Just raise the menu prices, instead. I kept my original rating because (again) the food and service were great today. Brewed coffee they serve was excellent as well - from Fonté. This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants in the greater Seattle in terms of interior decor. Pairing that with great service, it makes it a good safe spot for business outings/treating important guests. But please either get rid of the service fee or give the entire amount to your employees! read more

The Lakehouse - 72 hour Short Rib Hash off the Weekend Brunch menu - New American Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

If you aren't in a rush, you will be treated with a first-class meal where you can tell the chef puts his heart and soul into the food. Everything was amazing and the service was very good. The funny thing is that despite being in the mall, we felt a world away inside. It was quiet and laid back, so we really enjoyed our date night here. For those who appreciate quality ingredients, this is the place to go. Even the butter was authentic high-end butter like you'd find in France. read more

Beautiful atmosphere!! Had an amazing waiter...Martin Medina! Hopefully I spelt it right!? He was so friendly, quick, and knowledgeable! We came in with a crowd maybe a bit obnoxious but Martin made us feel comfortable and cracked some jokes with us! Hopefully he gets recognized! He was just fantastic! Also what was fantastic was their amazing delicious food! The 3 lamb chops were cooked beautifully and served with Brussels sprouts. I usually don't care for lamb chops because it tastes gamey but these chops were over the top delicious!! Also their beef short ribs was also an amazing dish. I can't say enough about this restaurant! The staff, food, ambiance, just everything about this place exceeded my expectations!! read more

Took my sister-in-law her for her birthday brunch and loved all the cute details in the decorations and space. Our server Sunny was amazing and he made sure we had everything we needed. The food was a little cold when we received it, but overall we had a great time. Our favorite were the oysters. read more

Had a wonderful birthday meal here. They even greeted us with a complimentary glass of bubbles! Steak tartare was out of this world and the star of the show for mains was the miso cod. And to round out the wonderful meal we had the custard cake and the biscoff dessert. The custard cake sits in a pool of homemade caramel sauce. Just exquisite! We come here a lot because the service and the food is always 10/10. read more

Had dinner here for a friend's birthday. Very friendly staff and the place looked clean and inviting. I had high hopes for the food based on the menu, but it was a mix of good and okay. For the price of the dishes I expected a lot better and this is on top of the 20% service fee. First up were the oysters. Very fresh and very good. Then came the Roasted Black Cod which had a very strong fish smell and was over cooked. Not great. Also tried the Dry Aged New York which was okay but over priced for the amount of food. Overall, based on the high price points and a mix of good and bad, and the fish being suspect, this was a real three star experience. read more

Challenging to find, especially for someone new to the city. BUT SO WORTH IT! I arrived just as they opened. Service was exceptional, ambiance was chill, and the FOOD! It tasted fresh and homemade. I ordered a green tea with honey, the mushroom scramble and a croissant. Pricey for one person, but I wanted something made, not just pre made and to go. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. (A 20% service charge is built into the bill) read more

Loved the location and the cozy, welcoming vibe -- definitely a spot with charm. The decor feels inviting without trying too hard, and the service was genuinely friendly and quick. The food was good, just not quite at the level you'd expect ; tasty, but not a "wow" moment. Still, it's a great place to unwind with a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. Solid choice for a casual night out! read more

We've been to the Lakehouse a few times already and have tried their brunch, lunch and dinner menus. They are one of our favorite spots to visit now. We like their brunch menu because they offer some good choices that we like. The only complaint is that their brunch menu doesn't change much or maybe mostly stays the same that we did not notice the difference between our visits. We recently went for their dinner which was fantastic, especially if you choose their deals, such as Date Night Package, which can be quite good because they throw in a bottle of wine. We also went there for the Valentine's Day dinner and it was also very good. The Lakehouse is on the more expensive side but the experience and the quality of food you get there justifies the price tag. read more

Came here for happy hour. I always get the dozen oysters for $2 each. Also tried out one of the cocktails which was decent. Steak frites are the second decent option on the menu. I like the aioli that it comes with. Service is always friendly and quick. Ambiance is upscale. read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! The food and service were both outstanding--the staff was very nice and welcoming. The environment was calm, clean, and comfortable. We tried the chicken pesto, and it was absolutely amazing. The portion size was very large; one dish was more than enough for two people. Overall, a great dining experience and definitely a place we'd come back read more

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. All of their food was exquisite, had the mushroom appetizer, fries, tuna crudo that came with a yuzu jelly. The bread and butter was to die for. Our server Martin was so kind and had great recommendations for wine pairing. Would love to be back! read more

My family was there for Mother's Day. The food here has no flavor and is so overpriced. It is beautiful inside. The handful of times we have been over the years, Lakehouse always fails...we will never return. read more

I'm not sure who needs to hear this feedback - but, the chairs need to be replaced in the restaurant for the prices and esthetic. I was like what in the shipwreck is going on in here. The restaurant has a pretty vibe but that decor...ew. We walked in on a Sunday mid-afternoon & were seated quickly. The waiter was really nice and did an overall good job. The bartender was slow as molasses getting out drink orders. We got our food in a somewhat reasonable time & one of our guests order was forgotten to be placed. We had 6 ppl and our bill was right under $700 + tip. Im not fully on board with saying my meal or drink (sangria) was worth almost $100. I ordered the Steak & eggs on the brunch menu & the steak was cook ok. Medium & everything else was fine. Nothing to send over folks to try. But, it served its purpose. read more

This hotel restaurant is really surprisingly good. Stopped in to use a gift card earlier this week. Really wasn't expecting much, but, wow! First, located in the W at Lincoln Square, the ambiance and decor is gorgeous. Very modern and beautifully appointed. Second, service was very knowledgeable and very attentive and friendly. Third, the food was exquisite. From the fresh, briny oysters, to the cream of fresh asparagus soup, to the perfectly crusted NW halibut to the rhubarb panacotta and brûlées banana split. YUM! A new favorite fine dining experience-perfect for a special occasion or fancy date night. read more

Had such a great brunch at the Lake House with friends! Even with the busy Saturday brunch crowd, the staff was super friendly and attentive, we never felt rushed or overlooked.

The Lakehouse - Giant Cinnamon Roll - New American Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Over the past 3ish years they have updated their menu to focus on quantity over quality. Which really seems out of place to the atmosphere and excellent service. Especially the brunch menu, which looks and tastes like an upscale Denny's. The portions are absurdly large. I want to update my review back to 5 stars which I would have given 3 years ago. Please get back to culinary experiences, focused on smaller portions, and finer dining. read more

Came here as a little birthday celebration and marked it as such on my reservations so was disappointed that they didn't do anything special or even acknowledge it. I got the cronut benedict and afterwards could hear the waiter explain to the other table that it wasn't actually a cronut -- it's just a croissant. I wished he explained that when I ordered it because it would've changed my selection . . . plus when I got my order, it indeed was a flat croissant and had A BLONDE HAIR in it which I promptly pointed it out to the waiter. He apologized and brought me a replacement and I thought as a courtesy he would comp the dish or bring a complimentary glass of mimosa or something to make up for it. The manager also stopped by and asked how things were towards the end of the meal and made no mention of the hair in my food, etc. At $25-30 per entree, I would appreciate no hair in my food. I understand mistakes happen and would've expected a higher level of responsibility taken to make me feel better about coming back. read more

The good is quite unique. Imagine caviar on a potato chip. Mind blowing. The drinks are great and so is the service. This place is very charming with a lake side home appeal. Come try this place and you will see what I mean. They will not disappoint you or your palette. read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel and stumbled upon this gem. Every morning that we had breakfast here, the food and presentation of the food was amazing. But what made our experience so memorable was the most attentive staff members. Everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and always accommodated our special requests. The ambiance was very pleasant and their design aspect was very well done.If you're ever in the area, you must check out The Lakehouse. read more

We went as a party of 12 to celebrate a friends 50th. The ambiance was great, the server warmed up as the night went on, but the food was more than disappointing. The burgers were so over cooked that they were like hockey pucks, the truffle fries, although were a huge serving, were warm. The lettuce on the chicken Cesar was wilted from the warm chicken. Side note, the chicken was delicious. The best thing.... It took almost an hour to get our food. They weren't that busy. I would not go back. read more

I went for brunch and had the avocado toast with salmon and added eggs. While the portion was generous, I was disappointed. I was envisioning the salmon to be lox, smoked or some other way but what I got was more of a salmon salad on top of an overly toasted bread that almost broke my teeth. My date ordered the chilaquiles and was pleased but not blown away. Service was good, and the restaurant has a very modern and clean feel. read more

We got out from a dinner that lasted hours!! Literally! Reservation was at 5.30pm and we got out at 7.45pm. No restauranteur would like to jeep people for that long except for those 10 course menus. There were 2 waiters and another later came out later on to help them. Two cooks in the middle were just hanging the first 45 minutes... while we waited to have our order taken. They were all nice, ad friendly but one person in my party noticed that that shouldn't be affecting Customers. It took a while to recieve drinks first. Food was just OK. Nothing memorable. Duck was hard. I understand is tricky to cook. It can get harder if overcooked but this one wasn't the case. Pork was beautifully cooked. Drinks were OK, nothing special. They forgot our coffees. Don't know if they charged them, but we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Restrooms...they were an experience for everyone coming inside. Neither males nor females were expecting it. No changing tables by the way. They are mixed women and men. Good for the bar next door but not for kids, babies, granny, lactation, etc. Definitely not family friendly! So, overall, I wouldn't come because is really pricey for this experience. Each dish is $50. Huge huge disappointment. read more

I was meeting my friends in Bellevue and I saw this place and wanted to try. I love the aesthetic here and the service was good, but a little slow. In terms of the food, it was mostly good but the fried chicken and biscuit was dry and too dense and the smoke salmon avocado toast had salmon but it wasn't in pieces like most places so it was a little underwhelming. But I enjoyed the scramble egg dish with fried rice! read more

We knew what we were getting into. Last time we did the tasting menu, we were not impressed. We did the $130/person valentine's prefix dinner with $50/person wine pairing. It comes out to be about $216/person after tax and 20% service charge. Our servers were really nice, but the food was meh as usual. The first few appetizers and salad were joke. We would have eaten at home if we knew we were getting potato chips and goat cheese that tastes nothing special. The chia seed salad was the worst creation ever! Nothing went well together. I'm keeping 3 stars only because of the nice staff and the location. We still had a good time, but do not recommend this place for good food. It's very unfortunate because this place used to taste way better when they first opened. Now every time we go back whether for dinner or for brunch, we go home disappointed. Go somewhere else if you are looking for good food that is worth your money. Unless someone badly wants to try this place, we don't need to come back here for a while. read more

The restaurant is located in Lincoln Square South on the second floor. It is right across from Baron's. The restaurant has dim lighting. There is a bar in the middle and tables around. Went around 5:30pm on a Thursday and there weren't that many people. Had a reservation for around 10 people. The service was okay, but the waiter did not have the greatest attitude when attending to our table. I had the spicy margarita as a drink and it was not spicy or that good. I asked for some jalapeños to add in my drink. For appetizers, we had oysters, truffle fries, the miso mushrooms, Brussels sprouts and the bread. The bread was delicious. The truffle fries were pretty good as well. The oysters were okay, but the sauce accompanying it had no flavor. The Brussels sprouts were very yummy, but when we ordered the second time it was overly salty. The fried mushrooms were just alright as well it was on the sweeter side. For my entree I ordered one of their handmade pastas. This was a 0/5 for me. The presentation itself looks like dogfood. There was absolutely no taste to the pasta. It was so plain. Not sure what I was expecting, but for $41 this is not it. For the price point, the food was not that great. Would not come here again unless I had to. read more

We stayed at the W Bellevue and came to the Lakehouse to eat for both mornings of our stay. The breakfast options were plentiful, the food was good, and the service was excellent! The space is nice and large, it's right next to the W Hotel and also part of Lincoln Square South. We parked on the 4th level in the parking garage and parking is free on weekends. Get the fresh squeezed orange juice, it was really good and fresh! The hash browns are also special, definitely recommend that! read more

Always a great time at the Lakehouse in Bellevue! What a beautiful location. Food, staff and experience were excellent. Our Bartender/Waiter was attentive and friendly. We raved about the martini he prepared for us on our arrival. He took care of everything, helped us select items from the menu that satisfied our tastes and dietary needs, ensured our meal arrived on time, and checked in with us throughout the meal to see if there was anything else needed. Two of us were dining and we started our meal with the Fried Brussels Sprouts with a tasty aioli as our appetizer, followed by Caesar Salad. I selected the Fish and Chips, which was Cod, perfectly cooked and served with a wonderful tartar sauce. My guest had the BLT which she raved about. I believe it had tomato herb jam, baby gem lettuce, bacon, and truffle aioli. What's not to like!!! We both enjoyed the Tiramisu for dessert! We will be back! read more
