Loved everything about it accept normal drinks like ice-t are not free refills and I don't drink alcohol. Next time no ice either .

Had nothing going on today, so my wife and I decided to go down to the flats in Cleveland. Lunch at "the Lakehouse" with a nice view of the river and the west bank would be a great distraction. Followed up by a stroll on the boardwalk and we would have a great afternoon. We got there at 11:45am. Upon entering, a pleasant young lady greeted us and, as they were not at all busy, told us we were welcome to choose any table we liked. So we sat right at the window along the river with a very nice view. Quickly thereafter a bubbley, smiling face arrived by the name of Sara. She brought us our water and took our drink orders and away she bounced... marvelous. Shortly after, she returned with our drinks. She very effectively answered our questions and we placed our orders. We were both not too hungry so we stayed with the starters menu. We shared an order of the "Heavenly Biscuits" and I added the "Marinated Olives". Then we both had a bowl of the "Lobster Bisque". Everything showed up in a timely fashion and in proper order. All of it was excellent. I must say, the bisque was exceptionally meaty. A pleasant surprise. As we were finishing up I mentioned I was looking forward to coffee. When Sara arrived I told her we would both like a cup as soon as we were done. With a big smile she said I heard you talking about it and already started a fresh pot for you. I was amazed... such a simple thing, but an example of extraordinary service. My compliments to Sara and the Lakehouse for employing her. After finishing our coffee we took a long stroll on the boardwalk all along the East Bank. It was a very nice afternoon. I recommend the Lakehouse and I highly recommend Sara... ask for her. read more

From the moment we arrived, the service was on point--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire meal. The house-made guacamole was absolutely delicious and packed with fresh flavor. It was the perfect way to start our dining experience. The short rib French dip was outstanding. It was loaded with tender, flavorful meat, and the au jus was rich, savory, and as flavorful as they come. Every bite was incredible. The fish and chips were equally impressive. The fish was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly, with a light, crispy coating that complemented it beautifully. Overall, a fantastic meal with excellent service and food that exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back! read more

Sat at the bar for happy hour. Service was good the food itself was mediocre at best. Firecracker shrimp was okay could have been crispier. The hummus was very tart to my liking probably due to the red onion. The margarita flight was on the sweeter side and just generally not the best I've had read more

Our server was great! Food not so much. The walleye lacked flavor. My mother got the lemon chicken and couldn't taste anything either. Biscuits were great but we're swimming in butter eventually. I'd probably return for patio views and drinks but not the food. read more

Service was horrible. The manager (in the blue shirt) did not want to sit our party of 16 together in the same area. And he had a bad attitude. The servers did not come to our table only to get our orders and one refill. You could tell the staff didn't know what to do when they had a full restaurant. read more

Their burgers are phenomenal. Also very filling! Parking is across the street but plenty available. Great go to after jetskiing. It would be cool and the water taxi works to take you rather than driving around to get to it but it was worth the visit. Beautiful view / service and food. Thank you! read more

We were seated inside as we were told that outside had a wait time that couldn't be demented. Our server took awhile to show up. We had to go back to the hostess to ask if they could get our server. Turns out it was a bartender which was odd as we were not right next to the bar. Anyway, server was miles. He was polite and took our order when he got there. All orders were correct. Food did take awhile. Could also hear the kitchen yelling out orders and saying that they needed things on the fly etc. Restaurant talk. I'm sure sitting outside would've been nicer but no idea how long the wait was. The pepperoni flatbread was good but really spicy. Lobster bisque was excellent. Rest of the food was ok but not really spectacular. Don't think we will be back though. read more

I have visited the Lakehouse twice recently. On both visits, we were seated after a short wait. While we waited, I played cornhole outside. The location of the restaurant on the Cuyahoga River on the east bank of the flats makes it a destination. On my first visit, I was with coworkers for lunch. Our server was fast and friendly, but we had some trouble being seated due to their 'policy'. After we were seated, given menus, and drink requests were taken, I decided to request the curry bowl. While we waited, I walked around the flats. A while later, our food was delivered. My supervisor requested walleye and my coworker requested a veggie sandwich with fries. The fries were served shoestring style and they were cold. My boss said his walleye was excellent. My corworker said her veggie sandwich was delicious and it was huge. My curry bowl was excellent. On my next visit, I felt like I should request the curry bowl again, so I did. Again, it was delicious. I really love curry flavors and it wasn't spicy. Definitely recommend. read more

We called yesterday to say we had a table of 10. We got to the restaurant this afternoon, which by the way was empty. The front desk told us they could not see a table of 10 but could break us up into two tables of five. But we could not sit next to each other because that was corporate policy. So we are sitting outside at COLLISION BEND with a beautiful water view. Review to come read more

Review 2, went back for Sunday brunch when parking is free on the street. It was wonderful very limited brunch menu of only four items but the whole menu is otherwise available . Return to the bacon and eggs and the granola yogurt. Bacon is heavily candied but tastes great. The potatoes and eggs are uneventful but filling. The granola and fruit is fresh and fun. We share the bottle of prosecco with orange juice, and overall was a wonderful brunch. Service was exceptional, Madison. So two successful visits. read more

Came to this place to celebrate a birthday for a dog. Yep you saw that, a dog. Anyways, great atmosphere, and delicious drinks. Definitely great place to bring your animals. In the Flats, Downtown Cleveland is totally bringing this area back around. Food looked good, however did not try any. Will be back read more

We stopped in for dinner and were definitely impressed. There are great views of the river from some tables. We ordered their Tinga chicken bowls and I was honestly surprised at how tasty it was. I wasn't all that hungry but I cleaned my plate because it was so delicious. Just the perfect hint of spice but not too spicy. Food was hot and fresh, chicken was seasoned perfectly. I had a cocktail which was also mixed very well. Their desserts looked great but was too full to try one. Highly recommend! read more

Tonight was just about winding down after a very busy and interesting day. I didn't or anything but wine and more wine . However the service was great, and the view is amazing . I had a great time kicking it with the bartender and my coworker. The food looked good as it was coming out. Maybe next time I will eat hehe. Stop by and enjoy the sights! read more

Four of us from Detroit went to the Rock N Roll HOF and wanted something to eat before driving back and this restaurant was close and right off the river. We got a table near the front so we could see outside and the stadium across the way. We ordered a couple fish sandwiches and guac & chips and the sandwiches were just okay, nothing special. We ended up with two different servers and Sarah was the better of the two by far and we're glad the first guy went on break or whatever. Not sure I'd recommend coming back here, but if a game or the HOF it's certainly a convenient place to eat. read more

Beautiful view of the water. The service was excellent. I had the walleye. It was very good but a smaller portion than I imagined. I tried the Parmesan chicken and it was very underseasoned. The appetizers were good. The hummus tasted like hummus. The spicy shrimp had excellent flavor. They have a full bar and outdoor seating. It's a very nice place to enjoy with a group. read more

Great experience we had a server named Sarah and one of the person sadly I don't remember his name. But Sarah was super sweet and brought all of our food out in a timely and great manner. We have no complaints. The shrimp and fries platter came with another side I subbed it for veggies and it was good! I had asparagus which was a nice balance we also had the chicken tenders and fries it was really good. The salad with salmon was seasoned well and cooked well also. The bread also came out nice and hot the butter was super good my only complaint is not having small plates brought to the table but other than that everything was great and the resturant was decorated beautifully read more

Pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed our visit to The Lakehouse! Hubby and I had ticket to a nearby event, so we were looking for somewhere to chill and grab a bite to eat, beforehand, on a Friday evening. We had a reservation for dinner, but arrived during Happy Hour and decided to sit at the bar. Bartender Michael, was attentive and friendly. We ordered wings, firecracker shrimp, flatbread, fries, beer and a margarita flight. The flight was perfect, 4 different margarita flavors, traditional, strawberry, pineapple and peach, yum! The wings, shrimp (served on top of asian inspired mixed greens), flatbread and fries were plentiful cooked perfectly. We had plenty leftovers to take home. The taste, service and price point were spot on, we'll be back! read more

Hosted a dinner for 5 and had mixed reviews on food. Appetizers flatbread & calamari were tasty. Ribeye ($55) was cooked to order, so ok. Rock cod was moist and well prepared. Walleye (3 orders), portions varied, overly salted. I sent mine back. Would return mostly for appetizers, drinks, and to people/boat watch. That part was fun!! read more

This is a cute restaurant located on the canal with a beautiful outdoor patio. Perfect view of the sunset. I didn't feel out of place wearing jeans. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the decor and vibe of the place. Unfortunately, the bartender, Angelina, was non attentive & I ended up getting help several times by another waiter passing by. That waiter (passing by) was Siaa, & he said it was actually his first night. He ended up taking my order & then also getting me silverware since she dropped the ball on that altogether. I understand, she was young & flirting with guys seated at the bar. Shoutout to Siaa for taking care of his own tables & me. As for the food & drinks; I ordered the Lobster Dip & it was so creamy & delicious. I could've ate a whole bowl of just it. I also ordered a Lavender Cocktail & it was amazing. I also ordered the Maine Lobster Roll. I was disappointed in the roll. The bread was stale even though it looked like it was toasted to golden perfection. I ended up eating the lobster out of the roll with a fork. The lobster itself tasted delicious. Overall, I am leaving 3 stars due to the lack of service from Angelia & the stale bread. If I'm ever in the area again, I would visit to see if that was a one off visit. read more

Ordered the biscuits, lobster roll, and crab dip. All were good. the chips were a little stale and too salty but would order them again just to see. I asked for fries and was given chips. The waitresses and hostesses were polite. They forgot our crab dip from our to-go order but i think they gave us extra to make up for it. Would definitely eat here again. read more

We had a large table on the patio, on a beautiful sunny summer day. Our server CiCi was very friendly accommodating to all our requests. Shareables were very well liked by everyone in the party - flatbread pizzas, heavenly biscuits, and firecracker shrimp. All of our meals were great as well. We will be back! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We came here for lunch and we were greeted with friendliness. We got to choose where we sat! As a family of four with a service dog, that was the best! We loved the ambiance and it made our lunch nice and relaxing compared to the busy day we were having! The wait staff was patient and kind. They answered all of our questions without bother or irritation. We ordered a variety of foods including the fish and chips and everything came out hot and tasty! We never had to ask for drink refills and a carafe of water was provided as well. We had a lovely , relaxed lunch and we will definitely come back again! read more

Would have loved to try this place. Unfortunately they falsely advertise that they validate parking on Google, but don't. So expect to pay $20 to park and eat here. read more

Loved the overall service and the vibe of this place. We sat outside to look at the water even though it was hot as hell. Food took a bit to come out, but the blue lemonade drinks held us over until then. My chicken was just alright, but granted it's primarily a seafood restaurant so that's on me. Fries were delicious. Would come back if in the area. read more

The thing that drew us in, was the 'best' calamari and clam chowder that we saw on Yelp. Once we got there, neither was on the menu. We decided to split the fish and chips. Interestingly, it came out within minutes. Our drinks weren't even there yet. I assume that someone cancelled the Order because either the fish or the fries were just out of the fryer. It felt/tasted re-warmed. Note to servers: when a senior couple ask to split a meal, it would be nice to get an additional plate, napkins and silverware before the meal is 1/2 over. On a good note, the bloody Mary's were great. The coleslaw was some of the best we've had. read more

There are so many things that this restaurant could improve upon to make it stellar. I'll start with the restrooms. They were dirty, and out of toilet paper--one stall out of three had a half a roll of TP and everyone was waiting to use that stall. As I walked out of the restroom, there were a bunch of employees standing around doing nothing. Maybe they were waiting for orders, or drinks, to serve to the customers however, they should've sent someone in to check on the bathroom. Upon entering the restaurant, we were met with a very ambivalent and rude hostess. She never made eye contact. She never smiled. We were shown to a table. Told that a waitress would be by soon. And left alone. It was a little while before someone came, but they did come and they were very nice. After taking our order, however they left several items out. So I had to wait until I could flag her down get those items, and also a refill on my drink. She never came back after that until it was time to pay the bill. The placement of this restaurant is very good. It is on a river and boats are going up and down and it's a beautiful scene. The tables outside were nice, and with that great view we were really enjoying ourselves. We did notice, however how dirty the floor was and I don't know if they ever hose it down or even sweep it. If I had a patio with that kind of a view, I would want to make sure that my guests were well taken care of. I thought a great deal about the cleanliness of the restaurant, and wanted to come back However, It was such a disappointment. Actually the whole neighborhood down there in the flats isn't much to talk about. It's full of bars and restaurants that people probably under the age of 30 would want to go to. The sidewalks were dirty. There were cigarette butts everywhere and it was just a mess. I can see why older people or out of town folks might not want to go there. They really need to start taking care of the flats if they want customers. Oh, the food. It was just OK, not great. read more

The food is good and priced very reasonably. On a Sunday summer afternoon, you cant beat its deck, watching watercraft, and getting sun. The service was attentive. And efficient. The ambiance outside as I mentioned, cant be beat. This is a fun place, with a good mix of comfort food. Oh and the beer. They are a brewery. I had a european style lager: excellent. The place is casual, and you wont be disappointed read more

Went on Saturday for a birthday brunch and it's such a great laid-back place, we all loved it! Good service, waitress was very nice and attentive.

Not at all busy on the weekends, great food, charming ambiance, nice views of the (currently frozen) lake but still lovely, so go support this great restaurant! read more

Tasty shrimp and crab Louie "salad" which was a seafood salad (mayo based). The add on salmon was perfectly cooked. Lovely waterfront views. Beautiful ambiance inside. Server was a gentleman with lots of tattoos who was very attentive and I was unable to apologize to him for lingering so long after I asked for the check. He did a fantastic job and I'm sorry we took so long to finish up after I said we were through! Nice little cocktail selection too. read more

So today I had to sadly leave my worst tip ever. Even with bad service I'll tip them around 20%. But had a first time experience here. Ordered three apps, pizza, the biscuits, and bang bang shrimp. Took a while but we were fine just enjoying the view outside. Food finally came and the shrimp was cold, so was the pizza. We ate the pizza because we were hungry but the shrimp was awful. We told the waitress, she did nothing. When she came back we politely asked to have it removed. The mgr came by and politely apologized and asked if we would want another serving. At this point we said no just have it removed. Pizza cold to but we ate it so that's fine. And the biscuits were great. We weren't upset as she apologized and said we understand ,no problem. They came back and said they'll remove The $8 biscuits but charged us for the 16 bang bang shrimp. I thought it was a mistake and said something to the waitress. She said that's what the mgr said. So we still tipped but deducted $7 of the $8, more that the shrimp. cost. Never had an experience like this before but we won't be going back. read more

I brought my grandmother here for her birthday. The fact that this place is located on the River front made it a very special day for her. The food was delicious.

I will for sure be back. And hope to be able to sit on the deck when it's not as busy next time. read more
