We love coming here, this time we were greeted and served by Shelly B. She was fantastic and so was our food. We ordered the chicken fajitas (actually came to us sizzling!) and they were on point for flavor. We also ordered the steak quesadilla which was also delicious.

Service was very good - the gentleman helping us was prompt, clear, helpful, and not overbearing/hovering. Easily the best part of the experience. Food - forgettable and overpriced. Burger was cooked to temp but bland, which doesn't work on a near $20 burger. This sandwich loses to O'Tooles seven-day chicken brine sandwich just five minutes away and several dollars cheaper. But beyond that, the menu is weird. Tons of chicken options, sandwiches, and...tacos and fajitas? Pasta? Steakhouse cuts? The menu has no idea what sort of restaurant it wants to be. And while what we ate was passable (it won't make you sick), there's just nothing about it making me want to repeat the experience. Ambiance - very, very strange. It says LakeHouse, but has a variety of odd forms of memorabilia. Christmas lights strewn all over, yet a fireplace going in the center? And it is SO dark - the Tiffany lampshades do not work with LED bulbs, missing the entire point of those. It reminds me of the creepy "House on the Rock" museum, say if that guy opened a restaurant, this would be it. Final thoughts - forgettable dining that just doesn't feel relevant today. Culver's and/or three quarters of the Mexican restaurants in Round Lake make better everything than this place, so go there instead.

In reading these reviews, I'm wondering if some of these people are going to the same place that I'm going. Dean, at the door, is absolutely wonderful. He always makes me feel welcome and calls me by name. Ben is new and as I've gotten to know him he is so super friendly. He sees me coming in. He comes over and personally greats me. I've never seen a manager that actually carries food for the bartenders and helps them to keep up with the bar service. He's great. The bartenders are so outstanding. Liz and Kristen are on the ball and when not working with customers are cleaning and arranging and doing exactly what bartender should do. They're super friendly and are always there with my drink when I want it. This is my to-go place on the way home from work. When I stop in midweek, Alex is my bartender and he makes the most wonderful blueberry lemon drops. During the week when I'm in there, he'll come out of the dining room and over to greet me and asked me if everything is okay. He's a wonderful bartender server and all around friendly person I stop in for a drink or an evening of fun. The food is fantastic. I have never had a a bad meal. I always eat at the bar but Yessica has gotten to know me and always comes by and greets me and asked me if it had a good day.

Great location, too bad the food isn't. Perhaps the restaurant should perfect 15 to 20 items on the menu, instead of having a large menu with terrible food. The atmosphere could use some lightening and brightening, as the bones are great, but it's dark, like a dungeon inside. If those two things could improve, it could be a neighborhood "go to," especially placed so close to the schools.

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Lake County. I’ve never had a bad meal there. The servers, managers, and bartenders are so friendly and seem to really care about their customers.

This place is pretty good. Walk in it was pretty crowded because Adam Sandler had his after party here at the time. I asked for an autographFrom him and he said “ get out of here you pipsqueak” I was offended. Loved the food I generally. Fish in the fish tank is cool.
