The Lake House at Sylvan Beach

I have been here weekly since I have come back to utica last month and never seen anything like today! So far 1 hour for my food order and it is slow! Hardley anyone here at 2 in the afternoon! And the staff ,all I get is its coming ,oh sorry ! Unexceptable!

Janet is the BEST!!!! We loved her tonight!!!!❤️ She went above and beyond!!!!

18 up for food?

Great food, amazing cocktails, fun little casino - but in the summer brings in the beach goers and can get a bit loud and rowdy.

Nice place to go and play a few games.

Always great food, love open year round... people are wonderful 😊

Although the Lake House at Sylvan Beach is a more popular spot in the summer, it is a great spot for dinner or lunch any time of the year! The food and service on our March 2026 visit was excellent. Only down side: Slot machines don't payout very often ☹️

Went to the Lake House tonight. It was such an amazing night from start to finish! Our dinner reservation was at 7. We arrived at 6 and had a blast playing some slot machines!! Everyone was so helpful and friendly! Our table was ready and waiting for us! The service was fantastic! We all had a great meal!!! The staff was very willing to help and take photos of our group! I highly recommend The Lake House!!! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful views of Oneida Lake, be it summer or winter! Nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

Didn't care for special, and couldn't go outside because of the bees. Other than that it was good for off season meal at beach.

Beautiful even off season few places to get some food and walk on the beach ❤️ parking close ... Love summers there too

Oh my goodness! Do yourself a favor and go to the Lake House in Sylvan Beach, NY. We stopped in specifically because I had a hankering for a fancy cocktail. Carter was behind the bar and recommended his most recent concoction which is being added to the fall menu. The “Dressed to Empress” is so delicious! A little on the sweet side it also satisfies the palette’s need for boozy yumminess. I never would have thought to pair gin with lavender and coconut. Pure genius!

Very small and very hard to win anything at this casino, been their a few times and have played a 20 and not won even a few cents.

I was forced to eat here by my partner. I didn't want go to the shore or watch the East Coast Watercross finals. I didn't want to be served by Marcus. I was reading James Leszak's review just when Marcus appeared. But the duo playing live music was phenomenal. The food delicious. The service top notch. I told Marcus I just read how horrible he was. I told him he had to redeem himself. This was Saturday evening just before Sunset. Marcus recommended the Shrimp rice bowl with jalapeno and it was seeded so it's spicy. She had the fish platter. Marcus made my regular tea sweet with simple syrup and kept the napkins and drinks coming up until the very end. And there's slots at the casino which we didn't play. We didn't hear anyone win either though we were caught up in the views music and ambience. Listen to your wife. And Marcus was more than good. Marcus was a delight but then restaurant wasn't extremely busy.

Spent the evening here Saturday night, Carter the bartender is fantastic. Very attentive and the drinks were amazing. My cousin I each had a raspberry lemon drop martini (a must have) and green tea shots.
