    Tony and I went to both the Cheat Lake and Sunset Beach Marinas to check them out. We always enjoy sitting outside near the water for a meal and drinks when given the chance. We went to Lake House Restaurant at Sunset Beach Marina on Cheat Lake. It was very lovely. Very large parking lot! We were greeted and seated immediately on the deck. We opted to sit in the screened in area. Tony ordered a Bud Lite Draft and I went with Unsweetened Tea With lemon and lime. They had in the raw sweetener, which I love. Tony went for the Maryland Crabcake Sandwich with Beer Battered Fries and I had the Cod Sandwich with French Onion Soup. Everything was delicious!! We shared of course, and I'm so glad we did!! His crab Sandwich was amazing and do was my Cod!! The French Onion Soup was divine!!! Definitely going back again!

    The main attraction to The Lakehouse is Cheat Lake and the fact that right there on the banks of the lake sits The Lakehouse. The waterfront view and lakeside ambiance can't be beaten. As for food, they have a good menu but to me, the taste and overall good preparation were lacking. I had their Cedar Plank Salmon which came with a brown sugar glaze. It would have been good but was way, way overdone, stiff, and dry.

    Out for our anniversary didn't go as planned. I guess we should have made reservations. We arrived around 5:30 or so and it didn't look busy at all with tables inside still empty but was told they only had the heated deck open. We agreed and the hostess lead us to the outside passing empty tables on the way to an empty outdoor setting area with no lights and the heat was minimal. Halfway through our meal it was dark and could barely see our food on our plate I had to use my phone flashlight propped up on my tea so we could eat. About a minute later or so a staff member finally turned on the lights and continued to apologies for our experience. The lobster and steak was good well seasoned and done to our expectations. However our food cooled off fast and the wife had to leave her coat on through dinner from being sat outside. When we was leaving there still was empty tables so we really didn't understand why we had to sit outside and when clearly there was open tables inside. Next time after driving an hr and fifteen minutes for dinner I'll be sure to make reservations for an inside table. My recommendation is if they tell you all they have left is outside on the heated deck is to leave or wait for an empty table to become more open.

    Ate dinner with group of 4. We all enjoyed our food and experience. I had the Caesar Salad and the Salmon Cakes. Food was served fast and was tasty. Forgot to take a picture of the Salmon Cakes. Service was great and our waitress kept checking on us. Definitely will go back again.

    Cloudy day, but still nice to be by the water.

    Location, location, location - the draw of the Lakehouse is, well - the lake. That said, the food and service are good. Within our group, we had the oysters, Italian hoagie, steak dinner and grilled tuna, plus la piece de resistance - butternut squash soup. The portions were generous - especially of the tuna. If this review were based on just the soup, it would easily be a five-star review. I like that they offered several options for a vegetable - vegetables don't generally get enough respect. We had good service, provided by a chatty server. Would definitely return.

    Large group handled well at first. Well staffed with young high school kids, that would account for quick service for normal sized groups. White pizza was on the sweet side. Other dishes looked good. Steak hoagie got good reviews. Lastly, One on the wait staff did become rude with a dining party member and flipped him off as he left. The last tray of food was dropped by waitstaff setting us back another 25 minutes. The longer we stayed the worse it got. 20 people 2 hours + from 2:27pm - 4:45pm.

The weather was damp and overcast but we asked to sit outside as there was a nice breeze. I ordered appetizers calamari & the crab dip, the calamari was absolutely perfectly cooked with a nice coating. I love that they didn't just give you the calamari rings yiu also got tentacles. The crab dip was also delicious and real crab. Interestingly they served the crab dip with a pretzel. Also delicious. My daughter got the fish po' boy and it was a large portion with delicious french fries. The waiter was attentive. The view was amazing. We had a beautiful view of Cheat Lake.

Inside, there's a fireplace that is pleasant to stand in front of (I was cold, so that's what I did), the bar looks like a tiki hut, and at the host stand, there's a tank with some turtles in it. It's a very relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. However, the food was mid. They've got burgers and pizza and sandwiches, which make up most of the menu, but they also have seafood and pasta dishes. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was super sweet. Way too sweet! And it was topped with shredded cheese that I could tell was pre-shredded and came from a bag. The fries that came with my sandwich were super seasoned. Way too seasoned! Everything about my meal was "way too." We also got the WV Wedge salad, which apparently is one of their specialties. It was aiight. Instead of bleu cheese like a typical wedge, this one came with both ranch and Italian dressing, plus pieces of steak. My kids enjoyed their grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers from the kids' menu. One thing that's interesting about the kids' menu here is that steak is an option! (Well, steak tips.) We visited Dockside in the offseason, but apparently this place gets extremely busy during the summer, when everyone wants to be on the lake.

Here you can observe some of the local elites, tossing their blonde fake tresses and drinking expensive champagne while making sure everyone sees their brand spanking new Louis Vuittons and huge bosoms, and then there is the much more subtle and respectable old money clientele with their exquisite tailoring, indulging in one of the lovely Cabernets served here. And the Cabernet is lovely. The escargot is glorious, it is served with a little toasty roll that you use to dip up that glorious garlic sauce in the serving dish. I had the dover sole, which was straight in from, you guessed it, Dover! ;' ) I had it with fresh broccolini and parmesan risotto. G had sea bass with lobster risotto. Both dishes were cooked beautifully, the fish is flaky and light and the risotto were perfect. Our server Cody, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, tried to tempt us with desserts (one of which was a caramel hot lava cake!) but we were so full from dinner that we had to decline. Next time perhaps. And there will be a next time. PS: this is not the sort of place where you're going to whip out your phone and start photographing everything. Hence the lack of photos.

It looked and tasted like a single slice of Kraft provolone. The pasta came with a salad that was served on a tiny bread plate, you know, one of those that holds a little roll when used properly. All in all, terrible value. Won't be going back. The photos say it all.
