We were there for Valentine’s Day. The DJ was great and key everyone up dancing as well as the band although you couldn’t hear the singers. The setup for dinner and desert was very unorganized. The buffet seemed ok although by the time you reached the food the lines for each section were horrible and your food was cold by the time you got back to your table. The tables were so packed so you were practically sitting elbow to elbow. We used to go there often but haven’t been there for a couple of years and now I remember why.

Extremely mismanaged and chaotic! Excited to go to see the Beatles cover band, made reservations on line. We were sat at a table in the corner on the grass with no umbrella in 87 degree sunny weather, and pretty much the only table without an umbrella or a table number! They claimed they would get an umbrella but had no bases. So if that wasn’t bad enough, we sat there for 40 minutes with not one waiter apparently assigned to us! Wait staff walking by us constantly but Nobody came to take our order!! I went to the hostess 2x and still no umbrella and no service and no food! Poorly run event. Now I’m sure I’ll have a problem getting my money back. Because you pay for the reservation beforehand and hostess claimed she’d refund me… let’s see?? Just extremely disappointed… what was the point of making a reservation and then be treated like someone who walked in .

Anthony's on the Lake offers a stunning lakeside view that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff adds to the charm, providing impeccable service that enhances the overall ambiance of the restaurant. It's a perfect choice for anyone seeking a delightful combination of beautiful surroundings and excellent hospitality.

Perfect mix of dinner and dancing. Delicious food, great staff and beautiful views. Will definitely be attending more events this spring!

the main course was warm. they add too much ice in their drinks.The jerk chicken did not have any jerk seasoning. our waitress was good, she anticipated our needs.

We purchased tickets for a show and were told we had a reserved table for 12. That reservation was confirmed by the venue before the event. When we arrived, there was no table for us. This is the third time I have been to this establishment and had a problem. Last year we were there for this same event, and it took two hours to be served our dinner. The year before we were charged a 30% service fee over and above the tax and gratuity when celebrating a friend's birthday. The owner is rude and condescending. I will not be back.

This last Friday, my wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and attended the Face to Face event. What a waste of time, it was one of the most horrible experiences we both shared. Here is a brief summary of went wrong: 1) we arrived at 7:00, the waitress did not take our order until 7:45, 2) We received the salad thereafter...very small portionS and tastless.3) As we both started eating the salad, the waitress brough outour main course. Everyone on table 6 was so surprised!! It felt like we where in a cafeteria...no organization whatsoever!! We both ordered the stuffed chicken,...once again very small portions and nothing to rave out, very bland...I found the venue very unorganized, very cramped(overbooked), the customer service was horrible...every time we asked for a drink it was a long wait.THE STAFF SEEMED CLUELESSWE WILL NEVER ATTEND ANY MORE EVENTS AT ANTHONY ON THE LAKE..HORRIBLE FOOD, CHEAP PORTIONS OVERCRAMPED SEATING,HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE ONLY SAVING GRACE...THE BAND WAS VERY GOOD.. QUESTION FOR THE OWNER...HOW COULD YOU HAVE LIVE MUSIC WITHOUT HAVING SOME SPACE FOR FOLKS TO DANCE.ANTHONY ON THE LAKE NEED TO GET THERE ACT TOGETHER OR CLOSE THERE BUSINESS. WHAT A MESS!!

Went for Valentine’s dinner. Was expecting live music which was advertised with no start time. The music didn’t start until we had finished our meal. By then it was over our 2 hour time frame that the cdc allows. Service was very slow. It took 2 full hours for a 3 course pre fixed meal. Food was very good though. The atmosphere was very nice and would be great for a wedding. Seating was very awkward for dinner. No tables faced the lake like advertised. They had everything faces the entrance to the room with the lake behind us. When getting our check we were charged $75 more then it should’ve been. We were charged for 2 pre fixed meals $54.95 each then charged for 2 steak dinners and for dessert which brought our total to $196 instead of $125. Wouldn’t go here for dinner again.

This is one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever seen. The food is FIVE STARS AND MORE. If I was getting married I wouldn’t have to think twice about where I would have my wedding. They also are very diligent with social distancing and sanitizing every table for the next guest.. Our first experience at the new Anthony’s on the lake was extremely pleasurable.

Attended a wedding the views and overall beautiful. Cocktail hour was in 3 diffent places but if you wanted a drink/coctail it was only in one place so depending wbere you were it was a hassle to get and carry drinks back to your table. Food main course wasn't great. Good variety to pretty much cover all different diets. Three people at my table ordered the chicken dish .No one ate it. Yet the filet mignon was very good. Unfortunately I had to leave early so I wasnt able to try or see the dessert hour was told they had an icecream bar now that's different. Music was awesome. The DJ had the place rockingall age groups no wall flowers !

I had reservations for 2 weeks for dinner for my spouse's birthday. Yesterday they sent me a text asking me to confirm we were still coming. I did confirm.Tonight, the night of the reservation, I get a call from the restaurant an hour before going stating it was going to be at a different location due to a wedding and there wouldn't be dinner but rather a buffet and we'd have to pay a cover charge.HOLY BAIT AND SWITCH! How unprofessional.We lucked out on a Saturday night and got into a fabulous restaurant in Smithtown.GO ELSEWHERE for food and weddings than Anthony's and Windows on the Lake. SCAM!
