I got the vegan mushroom banh mi with papaya salad - extremely flavorful as well. Maybe the best banh mi I have ever had. The papaya salad is also great, loved the peanuts and fried onions in it.

The drinks were all good too. My husband got one of their seasonal cocktail and ginger sumac cider and I got their ca phe.

Definitely ask for their house made chilli crisps! It is heavenly!“

“2.5 stars The beer selection is amazing. The food is wonderful…however!, it will take more time than you’d think for service and food. We’ve given this place 4 tries, and while sitting at the bar is amazing for drinks, the table service and food is super slow so just set those expectations appropriately. This is a consistent experience, every time, which is a bummer with the service and food because the food is great! But even if you’re sitting at the bar, food service is *extremely* slow (40 minutes for an order of wings). It’s so unfortunate because otherwise, this place is a gem.“

“The atmosphere is beautiful and the live music-saxophone-player is was amazing, (and an unexpected surprise). The craft cocktails were delicious. The presentation of the food was beautiful and very good, however it was a bit pricey compared to the up scale bars and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, our bartender seems to be more interested in talking to the other staff, instead of paying attention to his customers. We had to wait to order drinks, we waited and waited to order food, and he had a really difficult time checking back to see if we needed more drinks. When the food arrived, the bartender had gotten our order wrong, but he was quick to correct it. The scallops, the fennel salad, the calamari, and the miso chicken were delicious. We did inquire about gluten-free options, but our bartender didn't seem to know what "gluten-free" was, and had nothing to suggest. It would be nice to have gluten-free indicated on the menu. (Also, the online menu was different from the in person menu. Not a big deal, but it should be updated.) Overall, we had a really nice experience and were very happy with our food and drink selections. We will be coming back with friends.“

“From the moment you walk in and see the stunning 18-foot bar, you know you’re in for something special. The experience starts with a warm welcome from Josie at the host stand—helpful, kind, and the perfect kickoff to a great afternoon. Even during the day, Lake Effect radiates style, flavor, and exceptional vibes.

The live music from the Will Baxter Band added a vibrant touch—easygoing, soulful, and just right for a daytime groove. It set the tone without overwhelming the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.

The food? Fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and plated with care. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or indulging in a longer sit-down meal, every dish delivers.

And let’s talk about the service. Chloee brought a wonderful blend of wit, spunk, and attentiveness that made us feel completely cared for. It would be wise to request her. Huge kudos to JR as well—on his first day and already shining with enthusiasm and charm.

Lake Effect during the day still brings the magic. It’s not just a restaurant or bar—it’s an experience, any time you go.“

Kelley is amazing and so is Ethan and Hannah is wonderful too. I’m sure there are other people and that they are wonderful too.

Only complaint is that there was a frozen hamburger outside.

(Updated)
I went back and talked to the manager, it was a hot n’ spicy mcckicken, not a hamburger. Anyway, they were out of banana pudding when I went. Weird. I don’t think they even have it. Super weird.“

“Came on the promise of good karaoke and good location. It's definitely a dive bar, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Drinks were pretty good for the price. The seating is really limited inside and out on a busy Saturday night, pool tables take up much of the indoor real estate. There seemed to be a lot of regulars there for karaoke, which made it hard to break into the rotation. But all in all it was a pleasant experience. I'd go again and get there earlier for karaoke.“
