About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
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.

    The $27 prix fixe lunch is a fabulous deal. There are few but just enough options to please anyone. My friend and I had a salad, which was so refreshing and delicious, followed by a pasta dish with shrimp, which had just the right amount of zip to it. Very enjoyable overall.

    Always a pleasure to eat at The Lake House for lunch. The prefix menu is very reasonable and the S’mores Sundae is outrageous, particularly when you are celebrating a birthday.

    Dined at the restaurant later in the evening during off season. We were able to locate the restaurant and find available parking. Staff were pleasant and attentive during our dining experience. Grilled Oysters were delicious along with the lobster tail special. The New Zealand venison was moist and delicious. Recommend for a good meal. Appears spring, summer and fall views would be delightful.
