Can't say enough about the re-branding efforts here... service, drinks and food were all outstanding. From the craft cocktails to each of the dishes we tried all were perfectly prepared with well balanced in flavor. If you haven't been here in a while you are definitely in for a treat!

We stopped in for a late lunch and the lake House Burger and fries were delicious! We highly recommend! Colleen was wonderful and David stopped by our table to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be back!

Great food and atmosphere!! I'm usually skeptical of restaurants next to water because I find they rely on location rather than food or service. Lake House & Tap has it all! Spectacular location. I was instantly greeted when I got there right at the opening for lunch. I had a smash burger and fries. The burger was made to order, hot and very good! The fries were crispy and pillowy on the inside. I really enjoyed my lunch. Then I enjoyed sitting by the lake to relax for a little bit. It was a very good experience. I'll definitely go again.

Great atmosphere. Our waitress was very friendly. The food was great. I had the Catfish basket with salad and my husband had the wings and salad. He said they were some of the best wings he has had. Would definitely go back.

We had the shrimp po boy and catfish platter for lunch and both were fantastic! We sat on the lovely back patio right on the lake and watched the boats go by. Service was quick and very friendly. Will definitely be back again!

Went to Lake House over the weekend and what a great restaurant! The views are amazing, with a lot of outdoor space. I have two young boys and they were easily entertained with the cornhole and frisbees out there. The food and drinks were great as well and the service was wonderful! This is also a great place to watch sports, as there are several tv's inside tuned to all major sports going on.

Solo lunch date and it was the perfect place to go. Nice little gem overlooking Lake Oconee with good food and warm friendly people. I enjoyed a delicious appetizer of Buffalo chicken wontons with a side of ranch and they did not skimp on the chicken! Also enjoyed my burger and onion rings. Will definitely be returning.

Had brunch (Sunday) here on our first visit. They didn’t have mimosa carafes or anything other than by the glass and our server made up a mimosa flight that was beautiful and exactly what we wanted! The Chicken Parm sandwich was tasty and the bread was excellent. Poutine was delicious and the pastrami seasoned salmon was very good as well. Great atmosphere and phenomenal service. Lauren was awesome!!
