Their crab cakes were decent. Walleye was good. Everything there was just basic food. Nothing wowed me to where I’d go back. They spent a lot of time on the presentation of the food. I got an old fashioned and literally had three sips and it was gone. Service wasn’t the greatest. I wanted tarter sauce and my meal was almost done by the time I got it. I spent a bit over $200 for basic food and service. The presentation of the dishes was great. On a plus the views were spectacular. We sat outside and saw a beautiful sunset.

Coming from Texas, this place is amazing and cooked a perfect Fillet Mignon. The drinks were superb and really icing on the cake. Feeling the cool breeze off the water, calming music playing, this was exactly what I needed. Thank you again to the staff being very friendly and professional.

Very nice restaurant right by the lake and look into the marina! Great selection of wine and beer with great lunch and dinner menu! Most impressive thing is the kitchen or chief can twist or alter the dish to your liking which was amazing! We have our perch cooked the we like and they accommodate it! Five stars just for that!

Had a really nice visit at this place. Beautiful restaurant by the water. I didnt give it a 5 stars because of the menu, i am kind of visual and they had the waitress reading what I guess was the special of the day and I really prefer to read it myself or see the picture. Otherwise, this place is fantastic, and it was worth coming all the way from Lansing. We sat outside facing the Marina. They even let us choose exactly where we wanted to sit. Not too many places do that. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest personnel . My server Sarah was amazing. Hopefully, I got the correct name. I had the calamari, which was the best I've ever had, and the chicken club sandwich, which was delish, even though i was too full to finish it. My husband had the fish and waffle fries, and he loved it. I really recommend this place.

The food was delicious, the service great and the ambience was amazing. We started out with the waffle fries and they were delicious with a bunch of toppings. All the entrees were delicious, although my friend who had the beet salad mentioned that it was good but she's had better. We shared the desserts and they did not disappoint! We will definitely be back if we're in the area again.

The environment is great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the plates they're offering. Although the price is a little bit higher if that isn't an issue for you this is definitely a great place to go.

So happy we found this awesome spot! Gorgeous views of the water and fantastic friendly service. We didn’t get a reservation but still were able to get a decent view of the water from our table, although it is recommended to get a reservation if you want one of the window side booths or tables. Food was delicious and plentiful! Lots of flavor and very fresh. Bar was well stocked and they make a great Texas mule! I can imagine this place is probably even better during the summer but it was great even in the off season. Definitely recommend!

I got the filet mignon medium rare and it was so delicious. The gravy was very good and savory it complimented the dish very well. The potatoes were seasoned well and had a good taste. The asparagus was cooked well. The turtle cheesecake was very good! I would order both dishes again. Our service was AMAZING! She was always one step ahead and we never had to ask for anything.

Top notch food, service and ambience. Simple menu with only the freshest seafood and seasonal ingredients. Our seafood cake trio was a treat, of which the lobster and shrimp cake was the best. There was a beautiful variety of accompanying textures on the appetizer plate. Corn butter-polenta was flavorful and the remoulade and salsa tasted light and fresh. Together, everything on that plate went really well. We had fish sandwiches. The perch was fried in a light batter and had the right crunch. The blackened grouper was delicate with just the right amount of Cajun seasoning. House made chips as accompaniments were OK. Our server, Nico had excellent table side skills; he was attentive and knowledgeable. I’d be going back if I were in Muskegon again.

Right on the boat docks of Muskegon Lake. You can smell the sea even through Lake Michigan isn't a sea. Food was great. I had a blackened blue cheese burger. It is really good. The hamburger was a good size (guessing 1/3 or 1/2 pound). Comes with potato chips made in house. They have 2 luncheon specials each day. Was with a group of retired teachers and everyone loved their lunch. Almost forgot, we were eating outside. Beautiful area. I've eaten inside and was pleased with it too. Did I say it service was great? It was! We'll go back.

My husband and I ordered walleye dinners, they were delicious! I don't usually like coleslaw, but their coleslaw was the best that I've ever eaten. We also had the crab cake trio and they were absolutely delectible!! The Pina colada I ordered was made perfectly, without skimping on the alcohol. I must mention that the views of the sunset over the water were an amazing touch to an already great evening! It's pricey, but for a special occasion (we were celebrating our belated anniversary), I'd say that the food makes up for the expense.

One of the best restaurant around. Beautiful decor. If you come at the right time u can see an amazing sunset. Services are good. Staffs are friendly and motivated. Food is great. From burger to sea food. Lot of choices. And the price also is good. View of the lake and boats and sunset is magnificent. Only thing I don't like : eating indoor in the evening because of the mosquitoes.

Fantastic place to eat. Food is pricey, but oh-so-great. We ate outside on a perfect summer evening. We had the Ahi Tuna and Filet Mignon. The bread with a garlic butter they served was awesome! The wait staff was very attentive.

Fantastic office party. The only hang up was we’d asked a week prior to make sure they had a certain number of bottles of champagne on hand and they thought we were kidding. We weren’t. Beautiful setting. Nico provided top notch service. It’s our tradition for us to have our end of the year party at the Lake House and they always do a great job. World class view and wonderful dining experience/service.
