Today’s side of ranch is on…

The Lake House in Bay shore offers a beautiful water view, and is the perfect place for Sunday brunch. We made reservations because the first time we came they were not accepting walk in’s as they were extremely busy. As all five of us  walked up to the host stand we enjoyed the breathtaking water view, the fresh sea breeze rushing through our hair which really does put you in a superior mood on a Sunday morning.

Food quality: The brunch menu had plenty to offer, but I was hooked once I saw the Vanilla Bean Grand Marnier French Toast. Now let me say, as I took my first bite I felt as if I was biting into a cloud of cotton candy, that is how fluffy the french toast was. The sweetness  meddled into my mouth amazingly. I literally licked the plate clean. All I have to say is you have to try it for yourself!

Overall Service: Now as I stated before the Lake House is very busy on Sunday mornings. So I was not expecting top service although this is a fine dining restaurant.

Although they were running around like chickens with no head, our server Amanda was very efficient and refilled our mimosas when needed and did ask us how our food was when she was able too. We did not stay for dessert (clearly since y meal was basically dessert) but do plan on coming back to try some of their dinner specials.

Ambiance: In my perspective the Lake house had a beachy feel to it. It is decorated very modern with vibrant blue accents throughout the restaurant. This was how it felt on a Sunday morning with the sun beaming through the enormous windows.Although it probably would have a different feel on a Friday or Saturday night dinner with dim lights and no sun.

Cleanliness: The restaurant seemed very tidy, they had fresh flowers throughout which made it feel fresh and airy inside. The servers were dressed in white, and managed to stay clean, which was surprising with all of the maple syrup going around!

Value: The value was nothing we did not expect, but it was a bit on the pricey side for lunch. We got bloody mary’s and mimosas which also racked the check but still the food was honestly worth it so we all did not mind.

Overall Experience: Overall brunch was exquisite and we do plan on coming back as the views were remarkable and we are all eager to try their dinner and drink specials.
