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

This place is for knuckleheads. I was trying to eat a nice burger and then I realized they gave me a cardboard sandwich. And then I realized it was a burger but not a good one. 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 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

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

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

Great atmosphere and service. The French fries were good, the shrimp and crab roll were alittle heavy on the celery but the bread made up for it. The salad was delicious, however the salmon was just okay. Would definitely go back! 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

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. Everyone enjoyed their meals, Lindey's Classic Breakfast was terrific and their breakfast sandwich is a family favorite. Biscuits were amazing! 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

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

Great service and very good food! Will be back. Good view. Food came out with a smile.

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

I'd never been and when you think of patios on the water this should make the list unless they're making a difference between River and lake. The riverviews are just as stunning. We got there on a Saturday for brunch right at opening time at 11:00, and that was fortuitous because parking was $20. We were able to still find a street spot. And then because we arrived early we got prime seating along the water edge. The place got filled up quickly. The service was exceptional in our server, tori, did a wonderful job, and she checked on his frequently. While the Lakehouse has an extensive menu for dinner and lunch, their breakfast menu features only five items. However the eggs and potatoes are Staples and the bowl of yogurt with granola and fruit was huge. The eggs and potatoes were uneventful, but it served with a candied bacon which is anything but healthy. I ate only a little bit of it. So the brunch menu is limited . There were plenty of other non-brunch items I would have at another time. They do feature $6 mimosas and bloody Marys and that's a great price for those who enjoy that. It was a gorgeous day to look at the water and enjoy Cleveland sunshine... A view with the meal. I recommend it and I'd like to check it out again. 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

I was/am a huge Lakehouse fan. However, I am begging you to stop changing the menu. The Lobster roll was absolutely fantastic and it was taken off the menu. The southwest chicken salad was fantastic and it was taken off the menu. The chicken strips were fantastic and they were taken off the menu. For some reason unbeknownst to me, you folks have now changed your fries recipe. They are now the exact same as every other restaurant. Please stop taking good items off the menu/changing them. (Please bring the lobster rolls back). 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

Celebrating a birthday in the family while in town. Very happy we stumbled on this on Yelp. Our waitress Janelle was amazing. She helps lead us to the good stuff. Biscuits, outstanding. 2 had salmon that they'd said was so moist and cooked perfectly. 3 had fish and chips, they all loved them. I had the lemon Parmesan, Delicious. . When we visit again we would return 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. The atmosphere was better than expected. My server was extremely friendly. And knowledgeable. I didn't have a problem with the price of the meal. I felt it was reasonable for the location. 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

If you have the good fortune of finding yourself in the warehouse district of Cleveland, OH, I recommend that you visit The Lakehouse on the canal. The owners have created an environment that is as comforting as it is eclectic. The menu is strategically brief, but the flavors, textures, and creativity are anything but. Imagine menu items that may seem cliché, but the chef has infused them with thoughtful approaches that turn them into favorites. We enjoyed the delectable calamari and shrimp, the best clam chowder outside of Boston, and a reinspired French dip sandwich that has the French raising their arms in surrender (again). If you are really lucky, you will have Cory be your ambassador for the evening. Have him tell you about his vintage Casio watch, the freshness of their Walleye with clam broth, and general Cleveland history and nostalgia. I highly recommend this gathering place where you can watch the gulls circle, the boats slip through the canal, and the food satisfy even your most finicky palate. read more

Stopped here before a concert at Jacob's Pavilion to grab some dinner. The interior is really cute and Nautical themed. We started off with their highly recommended Heavenly Biscuits which definitely lived up to their namesake. I can honestly say they were some of the best I've ever had. For my entree I got the Alaskan salmon, which came with fries and slaw. I think I would have rather had a different side instead of fries, but it was still an enjoyable meal. read more

Terrible experience. We went for my friend's birthday with our dog the host said it was fine, but 30 minutes later the manager came with a rude attitude saying dogs aren't allowed. She literally asked us to leave and still wanted us to pay for food and drinks we never had, only ordered. read more

The Lakehouse - New American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

total disappointment. We drove two hours from Columbus for a birthday dinner of my friend and it turned into a disaster. Our friend had checked earlier about bringing a dog, and the staff said it was fine. When we arrived, Manager Sara came over with a bad attitude and told us to leave because dogs aren't allowed. We explained we confirmed ahead, but she didn't even try to listen. No apology, no accountability, nothing. Then she told us we had to pay for food that wasn't even started. That's just ridiculous. A good manager own the personnel's responsibility and mistakes not to ditch it. read more

We've been loyal customers here for over four years, but after last night's experience, never again. The manager, Sarah, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. We arrived for dinner and politely asked for a patio table since our friends were bringing a dog. The staff first said no dogs allowed (which we understood), then said they'd make an exception because the restaurant was quiet. We ordered, waited 30 minutes, and then the manager stormed over, insisted we leave, and even demanded we pay for the food we hadn't eaten yet! Instead of taking responsibility for her staff's mistake, she just kept repeating, "I'm the manager," while treating us with zero respect. Letting customers sit, order, and then humiliating them is beyond unacceptable. If the owner is reading this -- you lost long-time, loyal customers because of one arrogant manager. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being disrespected. read more
