Restaurants in Lakewood

“A very quiet day at the tasting room. The atmosphere was excellent, the weather was good so we enjoyed the outdoor seating. The Bartender and the wait staff were prompt, friendly, and talkative. And the beer, all good. Many of the selections were exclusive to the tasking room.”

“Hands down the best food for the price in the area. Great food, great atmosphere and first class service. Smokin J and the crew do a phenomenal job and take pride in doing what they do. You’ll be glad you stopped and will certainly leave with a full belly.”

“Absolutely dynamite. I'm visiting from out of town, and as somebody who lives next to the ocean: the fish here is *fresh*!

I'll admit it, I'm picky about sushi. I was spoiled by being introduced to the cuisine by a family of Japanese immigrants from the Kobe region. But I'll break down exactly how this place knocks this out of the park.

A lot of places will charge you an arm and a leg for a roll that's mostly rice. Not the case here. The rice is the binder that holds and compliments the contents, not the main star of the roll. These folks go easy on the rice (which is the perfect tangy flavor you want from proper sushi rice) without shortchanging the full-mouth feel and sweet vinegar taste. The rice is also properly sticky, without being practically glue-textured.

The nori is another part lots of places will short the customer. A poor-quality nori will act more like leather, making you chew through stringy seaweed to finally swallow the bite. This place uses an excellent quality nori that adds a very mild "seabreeze" flavor and flakes apart readily when you chew, but doesn't fall apart when you're trying to pick up your food. Absolutely perfect.

So not only is this place not skimping on flavor or texture or freshness, it's also not charging you for mostly filler: each roll has generous portions of fish, veggies, sauces, and tempura.

Oh! The tempura! A lot of tempura goes overboard, either slathering the items in batter or overcooking them to either rubbery consistency or ground-glass-shards sharp. This place has the perfect crispy crunch without it being the Extra Crispy Recipe from KFC, and cooks the contents to perfection without heating them to death. 10/10.

Also: the miso soup? Gotta be made in-house. Rare is the restaurant that goes through the effort to make miso soup beyond a dried packet in hot water, but this place does. The broth is smooth without a trace of the grittiness that gives away the just-add-water shortcut. The tofu is obviously fresh, soft but holding its form, not brittle or mushy. The seaweed is, again, top-notch nori. And it isn't over-salted, either. If this amazing soup isn't made in-house, I'll eat my hat.

ROCKED this first impression. A definite stop on my list anytime I'm back in town. Flawless.

Way to knock my socks off!”

“I love the fish fry at Davidson’s I have been eating at this restaurant for 50 years and it is always consistently delicious! They use Haddock in the fish fry and it is always done perfectly!”

“Andrew was amazing in setting up a personalized tour with Mike. Even though it wasn't a regular tour day, Mike went out of his way to accommodate us as newlyweds. The tour was informative, the flights were delicious, and the food was fantastic. The brewery's beautiful grounds were the perfect finishing touch to our memorable experience.”

“This pizza place is where I spend some of the happiest days with my family. The pizza is always delicious and well seasoned. Always consistent and they are always accommodating! Friendly staff and an inviting family owned restaurant. The ice is nice and cold and the AC rocks in the summer!”

“First time we’ve been there what a awesome time We will go back”

“Found the employees very helpful and kind. Loved ringing the bell as I left!”

“We were at our vacation rental on the Chautauqua Lake and we're looking for somewhere to grab a bite, and Group Ther-Happy was recommended, and it did not disappoint.

Let me start with the service, it was great. Shaq was quick, whitty and made the experience there that much better.

The food was good. The cheese and pepperoni pizza was loaded with cheese (way above average anywhere else), so it is filling. Quality cup and char pepperoni too! The Fungi pizza was good, but seemed a little lean on the mushrooms. The burger was reported to be tasty, although if you opt for the beer cheese, it can be on the heavy side. But you can always pull some off.

They do have anb patio, nice bar area and TV's to follow sports etc. A spot we'd recommend if you are in the Lakewood area.

Bonus. The women in our group found the Expresso martinis to be above average. They also enjoyed the sign for the bathrooms. In the pics...”

“The Lakewood Rod& Gun Club got members and their guests only. It is a beautiful, sprawling log structure made from imported Scandanavian wood. The structure is located directly on the shore of Chautauqua Lake. It has an open patio where food and beverages are served in season. “The Club” is known for its diverse menu, generous portions, affable servers, and luxurious cocktail lounge adjacent to the dining room. The facility is completely handicapped accessible and abundant parking surrounds this beautiful, rustic structure.”
