If I could give this place, 11 out of five stars I would. I felt like royalty in this place. Not only was I immediately greeted and seated the second I walked in the door. I was given water within five seconds of sitting down, with a menu And a waiter who is ready to serve immediately. They checked to see if I wanted my appetizers first, checked to see if I wanted recommendations and checked to see if I had any questions about anything on the menu. When the food came out, the waiter also checked to make sure that the food was to our liking and that we enjoyed it. My friend gets full easy and wanted the rest of her food to go and the waiter said “I just want to make sure that the food was to your liking personally.” So, not only did the waiter check when it came out and we had already eaten halfway but he also checked as we left. This place had the absolute best service that I have ever received at any restaurant. I have been to hundreds of restaurants across the U.S and nothing beat the service here or even came close. That’s just the service, the food, mouthwatering. The lemonade I got was the best lemonade I’ve had, handcrafted, of course. the oysters were very fresh and a delicacy. If you told me that they harvested those oysters out of the lake they’re next to I would’ve believed you. The flatbread was cooked to perfection, and every bite was the feeling of the sun on your face in the middle of a summer day. It was phenomenal, no burnt or overcooked edges. This place was affordable, considering how fancy it was and how great the food was. The oysters were $22 for a half dozen. The flatbread was large enough for two people and was $17. 100% will be coming back. I think it’ll honestly be my new place with my husband. I just went here 3/26 and I’m planning on going on 3/28.Update: We came today and amazing service once again!!!! My husband and I are hooked!! Thanks Lola Lakehouse for setting a new standard! We had Joyce, and she was attentive and amazing. The manager even stopped in to check on us and our service as well as other tables!

Very average food and service. Nice location wish they'd step up their gameI appreciate the response. I guess the one thing that seemed to be missing is passion or love of food by the chef.

We had a great table with a view of the lake, and that is the only good thing I can say. My husband and I ordered cheese curds, they were luke warm and tasted terrible. Then I ordered a BBQ chicken flatbread and my husband ordered a pizza. We then waited an hour, while watching the three tables near us, who arrived after us, get their food. Never saw the waitress. When we did, I mentioned that it was taking a long time. She went to check, and then a few minutes later brought our food and said the tickets were missed. The food was terrible - dry and tasteless. We ate about 1/4 of everything we ordered and then left. The view isn't worth it. We won't be back.

So m Fiance and I wanted some different food so we drove up from the Cities an hour away to try this establishment. Our greeter was friendly, kind, and helpful. We were sat and shortly after greeted by our server Jenny who was leaving shortly but was also very helpful, friendly and assisted us with questions we had about the menu. While we waited for our food we admired the decor and watched people tossing bags on the ice. The food came out fairly fast and it was very tasty. And the service was great. We would love to try other items on the menu so we will be back.

My wife and I went here for the Love Shack theme for valentines, and it was fun. When we walked in, there were decorations and a photo booth. The dining area was well decorated with streamers and lights. Our severe was friendly and helpful. I had the 1/2 Rueben and Lobster bisque, and my wife had the Mahi Mahi sandwich with truffle fries. My Lobster bisque was delicious, and my wife said her sandwich was one of the best fish sandwiches she's had. The food and service here was excellent. They have good gluten free options for sandwiches and pizza.

This place is a hidden gem! We went here for Valentines Day and the amount of detail they put into the experience was unbelievable. Staff was highly attentive, the environment was cozy and warm, and the food was quite exceptional. They themed out the entire restaurant with hearts and made it a magical evening with my love. I can’t say more good things about our experience, and I am looking forward to going there again soon.

I had the walleye sandwich. I was very disappointed with it. There was 1-1/2 tiny pieces of fish. For the price I thought there would be fish to taste & not just lettuce & 2 slices of tomato. So, yes very disappointed.

We have been coming to Lola’s for over a decade. The covid plague years were not so good. A year ago it was nearly back. Today, January 10, 2024… it is better than ever before.
