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 always has the right atmosphere for my wife and I. We always come and get treated with the best service and always enjoy our meal. We suggest the sea bass and the 9oz filet with the truffle butter accommodation. Loryn is always our go to server and does a wonderful job taking care of us.
Loryn was the absolutely best waitress! I was so excited to see this place and it did not disappoint. Will definitely be back when the weather warms to eat on that patio!
We had the beach house today for lunch and our waitress Loryn did a great job. We never ran out of drinks, and she checked on us frequently. Not to mention our burgers were really good!
Jessica top shelf service, Ward winning Cajun walleye was off the hook? Wonderful, put in the rotation.

Beautiful view, great food, and outstanding service, they even went out of their way to make me a dinner entree for lunch. I highly recommend them I would give them 10 ? if possible

Chilean Sea Bass, spiced flaky and succulent. If you want less spice and more buttery go for the Asian Sea Bass. Trigger fish is great but prefer sea bass.
Pan-fried Halibut with Panko. Was very flavorful.
Parking: Plenty and close.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, long ramp

The two good things I can say about this place is that the view was suburb and the drinks were tasty. It went downhill from there...we ordered the garlic and parmesan oysters and they were placed on our table barely cooked. After barely getting the first one down, we gave them a second chance and tried another. We couldn't stomach the remaining two. Our waitress offered to have them replaced with a fresh batch, but we were already turned off to them at that point. In an effort not to waste them, we took the remaining two home to doctor up . Our waitress was obviously new because while the other waitresses checked on their tables often, our waitress came to check on us only when she came to refill our drinks. Once our food finally arrived, the vegetables, potatoes and crabcakes were barely warm. The salmon, was acceptable in temperature but obviously was not straight off the grill. It seemed as though the salmon and crabcakes had been sitting awhile while the potatoes and vegetables were not hot when they were put on the plate. We sent it back to the kitchen to be warmed up. The waitress returned after about 15 minutes to say they were remaking our plates however it was returned to our table shortly after that; the same plates we had sent back. The potatoes were hot but the vegetables were still the same temperature. We had only taken a few bites of the salmon and crabcakes before the plates were returned, however the portions seemed smaller when they were returned to the table. I wrote it off as they had shrunk during the warming process. When the waitress asked us if it was better, we replied, "It's warmer but the vegetables are still the same temperature." She shrugged and commented that the kitchen stated it was hot when put on the plate. I expected that going to this restaurant would result in a high bill, however, the overall experience left me feeling like I had just wasted a lot of money on a mediocre meal that I could have prepared myself for half the cost. At no point did the manager come to our table even though during the course of the evening, we could see our waitress speaking with her on several occasions while looking towards our table. At the end, we received a whopping 50% ($7.50) off of the price of the oysters. I was up charged the shelf price for the glass of wine I ordered, even though the menu stated a flat rate of $7 on a glass of wine. I didn't ask for top shelf, I asked for what was on the menu. They did end up adjusting for the glass of wine. While waiting for our food to return from the kitchen, we had ordered a Blue Long Island Ice Tea and a Bloody Mary. Again, we were up charged because they used top shelf spirits. I didn't ask for top shelf. The Bloody Mary garnishments were nice, however, it tasted like the mixer was the same I get at the store. Needless to say, I will not be returning. In the future, if I want an excellent meal that is going to cost $115 before the tip, I will not choose The Beach House.

Food was okay and the server very friendly but it took over an hour for us to get our food. The soup while spicy had no seafood in it like it was supposed to. Very limited menu for non seafood eaters.

Halibut in lobster cream sauce
My wife and I came here for the first time on our anniversary. The food was excellent (if a bit pricey), and the atmosphere (other than the music) was very pleasant (candles and flowers on the tables). It was a rainy day, or we would have enjoyed sitting outside. The server was pleasant, and the food came fairly quickly.
