Horrible service. Slow service. After 30 minutes of ordering, the server comes to inform us that main dishes are not available for lunch even though there was no mention of that on menu. We ended up wasting a lot of time. Staff does not seem to happy working here or serving customers. Won’t come back.

Food was ok, the servers were angry or scared hard to tell. Manager was micromanageing and not helping in a busy armosphere. the one move thing was the bartenders knew their craft. Drinks were great!

My wife and I decided to try this spot for lunch. We walked in with our two young children and waited to be seated at the empty host stand. Three people pass us doing their best not to acknowledge us before a fourth finally comes down to greet us. She asks if we have a reservation, which we did not, and tells us we'll have to wait. After waiting about 10 minutes to see no more than one couple exit, and be walked in past about 5 empty clean tables, it began to feel like we waited simply because we didn't make a reservation. Also deck seating was not even offered. Another 5-6 minutes before our drink orders were taken, and when they were delivered she did not offer take our order. Came back maybe 10 minutes later (into the whole experience about 30 minutes now). Wait somewhere around another 40 minutes with not a word from the staff until we have to call over to the bar to have them check for our food that had clearly been sitting under the heat lamps. Food was actually decent, certainly would've been better if it was fresh. No acknowledgement or apology for the wait, but now that she could tell we were upset she deliberately avoided any further interaction. Maybe if you don't have kids, make a reservation, or are a Hopkinton local you'll have a different experience, but checking reviews I see we're not the only people to have had this experience.

Great food! The Greek Platter - wanted more. ? Lovely seating outside looking over the lake. Love the historic building. Maybe a little of it's history in the menu?

Fair warning to any of my friends interested in eating at the Lakehouse Tavern. Worst dining experience I have ever had. We arrived at the restaurant at about 1:30 pm. We waited in the waiting area for about 10 minutes before someone would even acknowledge us. When finally greeted the hostess ROLLED HER EYES when we said we did not have a reservation. Mind you I had looked at their website online before hand and making a reservation was not required. We waited another 5 or so minutes to be sat. I work in a restaurant I fully understand having to wait for a table is a fairly common. Once sat me, my husband and my 2 kids were sat directly in front of the window unit air conditioner that was on full blast. We waited at our table at least 10 minutes before being greeted and and 20 minutes after that to even place our order. We then waited another 45 minutes for our food with absolutely no acknowledgement of us what so ever. A server never checked back, asked if we needed or mentioned anything to us about our food. IN FACT they deliberately avoided us anytime I looked at them to get some service. I had to break my own feelings about how it is appropriate to act in a restaurant and had to YELL over the bar to the staff to ask about our food. We finally received our food that was basically thrown at us, no one ever checked back to see how the meal was. We had made it very clear we were unhappy with the service and NO ONE offered to send over anyone to help, not a manager, NOTHING.
I will absolutely never be returning to this establishment.
Upon other research and reviews online this is a standard practice for this place. If you are not a regular customer they do not care about your experience. So disappointing because the food actually was pretty decent.
I highly suggest hiring more attentive bartenders who actually enjoy doing there job.
Also, you have a dead bird in your coy fish pond!

Great place to eat and the service is top tier. I highly recommend trying the food out here. If you haven't yet, you're missing out.

One of my current favorite places. Great atmosphere, food, and people. The steak was exactly right and the shaved Brussels sprouts are amazing! They also have a good draft beer list that’s kept fresh as well as a pretty good wine selection for a tavern. Highly recommend.
Racist bartender towards old people, would not look at us when we sat down at bar, had to call her over, could tell we were bothering her. First 5 minutes she was busy on her phone. People she knew came in, couldn't get a beer when her back was to us and chatting with the locals and on FB. Stay home if you don't like people.

I come here all the time. The regulars are very nice, the food is good and the staff is great
This place was great. The only things keeping me from giving 5 stars was my prime rib came out med/well when I asked for med/rare and we sat outside and the mosquitoes were insufferable (I know, that's our own fault for sitting outside after dark). The service was absolutely 5 ?. Oh, if you look at their online menu don't be surprised if you don't have the same items available when you get there. I think they may have a seasonal menu.

The food here is always great. We sat at the bar, and service was excellent. Food is hot, fresh and abundant. The French fries are hand cut and the onion rings a 10. Meat was cooked exactly as ordered. There are many choices on the menu.
