“ We are driving to Florida from our vacation in New York, We were very tired from driving the entire day, it was late , we were all sleepy and we honestly looked so bad, we looked like a homeless family anyway! We decided to stop at the Lake House and grab something to eat before we continue with our journey home. I can't say enough about this place, it was perfect through and through. Food was delicious to the point that my husband didn't complain about his hamburger this time, for the first time in years!! He said that the hamburger was so good that it didn't need any condiments. Everything we ordered was delicious and the place was absolutely beautiful with views to the lake, but the best thing was our server, her name is Whitney and she was amazing, polite, helpful and a beautiful gorgeous soft voice. Thank you Whitney, you made our drive home a lot easier and turned it into a beautiful and positive experience. kudos to you! ”
“ We went at sunset for dinner & it was just gorgeous. We got the shrimp appetizer. They were very fresh & plump shrimp. We each got a steak. They were cooked perfectly & delicious. Staff seemed overly attentive at times. ”
“ Super cool restaurant!! Awesome service, awesome atmosphere, and great food. I had the salmon which was perfect. Really cool write up of the history of the place in their menu. While I do not partake in desserts, I am told their cakes are amazing. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ If you are ever heading south on I-95 in SC and want some great food and service as well as a beautiful view of Marion Lake, do it! We over ate as they are large portions. ”
“ This was a great find! You will not find a better view anywhere on Lake Marion... Food was great, but the shining star was the homemade dessert! The “OMG Cheesecake” with homemade blueberry sauce was absolutely fantastic... Probably the best I’ve had. Another shining star was the hush puppies. They were the perfect bite-sized amount, which allowed for crispiness all the way around, but with a soft inside. I had catfish right from Lake Marion and my husband had grouper. I had the lemon garlic dill sauce, and it was great! ”
“ Great place to rat but very busy on a Thursday night! We managed to get a table outside that although was warm at first wasn't terrible after the sun started to set. Service was awesome, and food was great! Reasonably priced we had a cocktail and didn't break the bank! ”
“ Beautiful! We didn't have reservations for this popular place but lucked out with an outside table at sunset time. Dinner was delicious. I think the salmon blt was the winning dish. ”
“ The Prime Rib is amazing. I generally don't even like prime rib, but I tried it on the recommendation of a friend. I got it the second time I went here as well. Highly recommended. Make a reservation. ”
