We had a lovely visit to the Rose Tavern on a wintry Friday night. Alyssa was our server and she did an excellent job taking care of us. The short rib was outstanding. Our only regret was not having the pleasure of being served by Brett. Apparently he is a living legend and was off the night we visited. We drowned our disappointment in local IPAs, bourbon and bread pudding.

Attended the Livingston County Highway Association luncheon here. It was a private party and the first event held here since the renovation. Wonderful staff, food, atmosphere! 😃

We were greeted immediately and our server was very friendly and attentive. We had the salmon and short ribs, both delicious and well proportioned. Our spicy margaritas and old fashioned were delightful. Highly recommend!!!

We were married at the Lake House, so this resort already holds a special place in our hearts — and every time we return, we’re reminded why we love it so much. The Rose Tavern is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and that warm, upscale aesthetic that the Lake House is known for. We stopped in for lunch, and Dominique was our server. She was phenomenal — friendly, attentive, and so easy to talk to. We discovered we had a few things in common, and she made us feel right at home. She helped us pick the perfect drinks, and we shared the seasonal salad and the steak sandwich since we were planning on an early dinner. Everything was fresh and delicious. I ordered a mezcal cocktail with wonderfully complex flavors that I thoroughly enjoyed. While chatting with Dominique, I mentioned another cocktail I liked, and Michael, the bartender, surprised me with a custom drink based on what I described — and it was incredible. The thoughtfulness and personal touch truly set this place apart. What I love most about this resort is how such an elegant, high-end space still makes you feel completely comfortable. Lori Proper helped us with our wedding, and she was amazing then, so I asked if she was around. She came by, warmly greeted us, shared more about the Sands family vision, and even took us on a tour of the facility. That level of hospitality is rare, and we appreciated it so much. The Rose Tavern and the entire Lake House team create an experience that feels both luxurious and genuinely welcoming. We can’t wait to return.

We stayed at the Lake House and decided to try dinner at Rose Tavern. Our host and server were both extremely friendly and welcoming. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the sticky Brussel sprouts were scrumptious! My husband and I both agreed they were the best we’ve had! Thank you for an amazing dinner!

Had a great dinner tonight. Wished we could have enjoyed a view of the water but we didn’t have a reservation. I got a coconut daiquiri which was scrumptious. Also, I got 2 appetizers instead a regular meal. Tuna crudo and the burrata. Both were outstanding. My boyfriend got local pork chop which I tried and it was wonderful. Do not miss the garlic mashed potatoes- amazing taste with chives and candied bacon 😋. Our server David was excellent and had a warm personality.
Thank you for making my husband's birthday so special. Everything thing we ordered was fantastic, the service was top notch. 👏 Bravo.

While guests at the Lake House we ate breakfast at the Rose Tavern. The food was awful. On the positive aide, the coffee was good, although very overpriced, and the service was good. BUT, if I order an $18 yogurt parfait, I expect something better than cheap “Dannon” yogurt. The restaurant claims it sources its food locally and there are great local producers. Even a superior supermarket brand would have been ok. The parfait only included a tablespoon or two of granola and a tiny bit of fruit. My wife’s eggs were significantly undercooked and the potatoes were all soggy. Lots of local restaurants to support instead of paying way too much here for barely passable food.

The Lake House has a fantastic restaurant called Rose Tavern. Make a reservation as this place is busy. The service and food are top notch. Perfect portions and priced right. I have had breakfast and dinner here. One of my breakfast choices was the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon. I also had the yogurt with chia, granola, and berries. I also had a perfect omelet and pancakes another day. It was also fantastic. Mimosa and coffee. I had dinner too, pork chops, lamb chops were so delicious. I'll let the photos do the talking. I didn't need to go anywhere else, Rose Tavern has it all.

Yes! For a perfect place to lunch. This was an ideal midpoint place to stop between Rochester and Geneva on the way to Cornell. The grounds were beautifully decorated for autumn. The restaurant has beautiful space, lovely views, great service and food.
