Beach House Reviews
my wife and I went to the buffet on New Year's eve. very disappointed the food was cold, the buffet was very dark and I couldn't see what you were getting in the area. the salads were good and the desserts.the main course needs some attention.
I came in during lunch hours to purchase a gift card today. I stood at the hostesses stand for 15 minutes and no one came to help me. A waitress saw me and never said she would be over to help or send someone. No one at the bar to help me. Poor service.
We ate their but the food was not that great. My filet was almost rare and it was to be medium well, my wife's chicken was bloody near the bone.

The Beach House restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, with staff accommodating large groups and special requests. The food is generally well-received, with highlights like the sea bass and the 9oz filet with truffle butter. Appetizers such as the caesar salad are delicious, and the lobster bisque is also praised. However, some dishes like oysters Rockefeller can be disappointing, being half the size they used to be and not meeting expectations. The restaurant has a beautiful deck overlooking the lake, making for a perfect dining setting, especially on nice days. The menu includes classic lunch items like burgers and salads, though some feel it now tries too hard, offering less of the simple, traditional choices. Portions are generous, and homemade chips are a popular side. While cocktails have been disappointing, the overall experience remains enjoyable, particularly for family gatherings or special occasions. Despite being a bit expensive, the friendly service, good food, and lovely views make The Beach House a pleasant place for lunch or dinner.
