Lakehouse Breakfast Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Elkhorn

Finally had the chance to stop in for dinner! Greeted and sat right away person behind the bar was friendly. Not very many people in the restaurant for a Thursday night. Server seemed friendly. She came back immediately after seating us to get our order we asked her for just a minute so we could look at the menu. It took her quite a bit to come back after that, she apologized for the wait and took our order. We started with the spinach artichoke dip with pita chips. It was phenomenal! Seriously could have made a dinner out of that! The soup of the evening was a creamy tomato with Gouda, it was also DELICIOUS!!! We had asked our server to space the appetizer, soup and entree a bit and she did a great job with that! For our entrees we tried the Cajun chicken pasta it was amazing. It was grilled sliced chicken breast on top of penne in a creamy spicy Alfredo with some onions and peppers sautéed in. Came with a chunk of dried toasted bread, I think it might have been garlic bread, but mine has no butter or garlic on it, but was perfect for dipping up sauce!!!! We also tried the chicken picatta which was served with mashed potatoes and in the creamiest lemony sauce. It was absolutely delicious and we could have licked the plate! Would have been interested in trying desserts but no dessert options were offered and there wasn’t any mention of dessert on the menu, so maybe they don’t have desserts! My only complaint…was just weird. The restaurant was open till 9 there were a couple of people at the bar and one other table in the restaurant that had just ordered. We were just chatting and drinking our beverages at 8:08pm when our server and asked if we were good with our beverages and we said yes, thinking she meant did we need refills. She then took way our drinks which we were still drinking and the napkin that was on the table. Assuming we had worn out are welcome we then left. Just kind of odd. The restaurant was cute and clean and much bigger inside then it appears! The bar looks fully stocked. There was plenty of parking and easy access to get in the building The food was excellent and we look forward to going back again and trying different options. Perhaps the server was just ready to go home! If you are in the area definitely...

✨Review ✨

When we first entered it was very pretty inside and clean. You seat yourself. The waitress was very kind and checked on us with appropriate timing. I saw the manager on the floor most of the time, checking on how the customers were doing and how the food was coming along.

About the food:

The food was very good, portion size for the cheese curds and fries could be bigger but other than that everything was delicious, the chicken was juicy with the right amount of crunch. The buttered pretzel buns were a great touch. The burger was cooked to order and a nice thickness. All of it was fresh and...

To start it off, we made reservations for 5:30pm a day in advance. When we got there they didn't have our name and party number at all, we had to wait for them to make a table. We ordered ribs, a burger, Shrimp Scampi, and two Farfalle. Ribs were good, burger was good, Shrimp Scampi was not good nor was the Farfalle. The Farfalle had ingredients not described in the menu. We spoke to the waitress about the Farfalle not being as described in the menu. The waitress was short and confrontational about the dish and suggested we should have known. One person in our party sent their farfalle back. The waitress never came back to check on us or ask about refills on drinks. She dropped off our bill and walked away. The meal that was sent back was not compensated. A person in our party had to go find the waitress and ask about the bill. The waitress again became rude and told the person to "just go sit down" and I will bring a new bill. After waiting for 10 minutes and not seeing the waitress, we observed 2 other tables get up and leave without waiting for their order. We then saw what looked like the owner and tried to call him to our table. He rudely said, "Hang on a minute". When we did explain our waitresses poor service, he said, "Well we got slammed and it's Homecoming". During our 1 1/2 hour time at the table, we saw only two table of kids for Homecoming and several open tables. Even if it was "busy" for them, we were not upset with the amount of time things took, but rather the incredibly rude and confrontational service from our waitress and then the owner. Add that with 3 terrible dishes, we will never eat here again, nor will we recommend it to anyone. If there was a negative star rating, we would...
