Since 2006, The LakeHouse restaurant has been the jewel of Bay Shore, NY. In the summer of 2016, owners Eileen & Matthew Connors and Jay Gut moved locations to a brand new dockside treasure. With stunning views and multiple fireplaces, comfortable seating for 100+ guests, two lounge areas, deck overlooking the Great South Bay, and both an indoor tavern room and a waterfront bar, The Lakehouse is touted by many as “one of the best restaurants on Long Island.” At night, the deck is illuminated, as is the waterfront lounge area where guests can congregate for after-dinner cocktails. This New American fine dining experience is not to be missed. The Lakehouse can now be reached by boat as well, as guest dockage is available at the new gorgeous bayside locale.

    No better place to celebrate my Birthday. As usual, we had very attentive service from our server Ronnie. All our ordered choices were well prepared. Looking for our next trip out to the Lakehouse.

    This was the first time dining at the Lakehouse and we will definitely be back. We had lunch to celebrate my mom’s birthday and upon walking in, the place is beautiful and so cozy. We started with calamari as an appetizer which was delicious- the lemon honey aioli was a nice touch. We then had the farm green salad which also was tasty and ended our meal with a Lakehouse burger. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back again.

    The service was great. The waiter was really good and professional. The choices on the menu could be extended. The options were not as much as we would have wanted it to be. Felt a bit limited with options to order. But the food was good. Definitely hats off to the chef. The waiter was really good. He made sure we enjoyed our visit for sure. Will definitely visit again in the future.
