The Lakehouse Est. 2006 Layout/atmosphere *Located right on the marina where the Watchogue Penataquit Creeks meet; to left of waiter stand tables, to the right more tables and few booths then leads out to an enclosed patio deck with a bar and tables; oil paintings, nautical theme color palette; valet parking Service *Attentive Food/drink *Bread Basket (cultured butter) four different types (fennel version, everything seasoning version, pretzel bun, and raisin version) all good except for the fennel type (too much of a licorice taste) *Creamy Tomato Bisque (Mascarpone, Truffled Gruyère Grilled Cheese) the bisque itself was fantastic (living up to its billing) and so was the grilled cheese *Or...
Great location, apps were very good, tuna tartar clam chowder were exceptional. Tables are a bit small on the couple tables and no better on a four top as they just put two smalls together, round tops are the way to go for 4 or more. Meals were very good, everyone was happy with their seafood choices and happy with the sides. We ordered two haddock meals a scallop meal and the cod boullioubase was outrageous, had whole clams and was almost akin to frutti di mare, great surprise! Wine bottles are pretty expensive with mediocre middle of the road options so glasses would have been the better choice for us Dessert choices were a perfect ending and the coffee was great!
I can't really say that I dined in because after making reservations a week in advance for a party of five. Only two of us made it in because of the horrible valet parking set up. Warning the valet is a 3rd party and is first come first serve. The parking was nonexistent and valet very disorganized so we had to leave without getting to keep our reservations. They restaurant looked beautiful but you should have valet parking to accommodate customers who have reservations for a restaurant
The food the view are spectacular! The wait staff can be a little aggressive: a glass of wine was removed without asking before it was finished; at dessert time there was very little time between the repeated inquiries of our choices. My biggest complaint is that this restaurant seems to be very greedy: charging for a small bread basket. Also, there is an up-charge price for credit card use AND there is also a 3% add-on to use a credit card. That is price gouging, or and simple.

We’ve been in so many high end restaurants, I can’t believe we never been here. My husband and I ordered the Clam chowder soup and it was so good, and we are not even clam kinda people but the waiter recommended it. Lake house chopped salad was great! Waiter was good food was really good. We came for lunch we will def come back for a dinner date.
A very nice lunch today, with 10 friends, on the water, in Bay Shore.. The food choices at the table ranged from chicken paninnis, a chicken salad, a seafood pasta, raw clams, fish tacos, a steak salad, and hamburgers
Nicely curated selection of modern American eats with good drink selection right on the bayfront. Really nice atmosphere for brunch/lunch. Staff were very accommodating. Parking was relatively easy that time of day.
The food is so delicious here. Been here 2 times over the years. And every time I'm 100% satisfied. I got the calamari and scallops for my entree.
