Went for 4th of July buffet, sat inside. Food was good but not worth the $50 for just a buffet. Dj was outside, no other entertainment or activities inside. Just a $50 buffet.

I might have given a better review if the woman seated next to me had not used a wet wipe to take a bath. At the table. In full view of everyone. Someone should have asked her to do that somewhere more appropriate.

We wanted apps and a drink outside on the deck overlooking the lake but it started raining as we arrived so we went inside and ordered our drinks. Before we ordered food we realized it had stopped raining so we asked to go back outside. All the staff were very accommodating and the evening was perfect. Thanks for the great service! And the apps we shared were delicious!

Pit server was excellent but the food was just ok and not worth the price tag. Bread is very overpriced. We will probably not return

A lakeside contemporary eatery, lāk offers fresh ingredients prepared with care. We enjoyed their breakfast, and I recommend the Crab Benedict and Corn Flake French toast. In addition to wonderful food, the service at lāk was spot on. Anna was gracious, friendly and helpful. Cheers!

Food was very good. Service unfortunately was unacceptable. Quite literally never received our drinks ordered at very beginning. After 30 minutes Had to flag down hostess/manager to ask for check and to remove drinks from bill as we wanted to leave. She was nice in response but after another 15 minutes waiting, we ended up standing and walking around looking for any person to communicate with. Another customer was doing the same thing. Eventually she brought the bill and was nice but no apologies or any acknowledgement of the really terrible service. I understand they were very short staffed, but would appreciate an acknowledgement for pretty pricey meal.

The food was not impressive. The seafood which we ordered was too expensive for what they serve. The ambience, sitting on the terrace was wonderful. Service was not attentive as only 2 waiters were overwhelmed with full restaurant.
