Lake Inez

Sadly, underwhelming food. Ambiance seems great to have just drinks. The flavor of the dishes [including the “We had the Best Time at Your Party” (not pictured as it was an ordinary looking salad on a flat white plate)] were not balanced—either too salty or too sweet. The exception is the Chicken Wing Noodle, which was good. The dessert was okay. Portions are too little for the price. I would understand high prices for quality food—and perhaps the ingredients used were of good quality. Even with that assumption, it was not reflected in the dishes upon tasting. The service was slow. It took about 20 between dishes, which was served one at a time. The servers were warm and would check up when able. The low rated reviews got the general sentiment right.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant with a friend, and we absolutely loved the food! We’d heard great things through recommendations, so we had high expectations, and it definitely exceeded them. The flavors were incredible! However, the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, especially given the sharing-style dishes. The only downside was the noise level—it was so loud that I could barely hear my friend, making conversation difficult. Despite that, we’ll definitely be coming back!

Came here for our anniversary dinner, and it exceeded my expectations! The service was amazing, the staff made sure to explain each dish before serving it to your table which is a really nice touch. Food came out really quickly, too. We ordered the Salisbury steak tartare, dark green crunchy fall thing, cheesy toast, and the halibut à la corn dog. Everything was really unique and delicious in terms of seasonal flavors and different textures (Especially the cheesy toast). Can't wait to come again!

Phenomenal experience today. The ambiance, chefs and host could not have been more perfect, complementing the delicious tasting menu perfectly. Excellent pairing choices too, and the stories ahead of each course really made it feel like dinner and a show. Thank you!!!

Cozy and unassuming spot located in the east end, serving innovative twists on classic dishes. We ordered the tartare, hamachi crudo, guava salad, fried chicken noodle soup, and French onion toast off of that night's rotating a la carte selection. Each dish was creatively reconstructed and the drinks were peculiarly described; you can tell the staff has fun with the menu and enjoys their environment, as it shows in their service - definitely a must-try in the city! We also went for a night cap at their sibling bar Belle Isle which had excellent cocktails and a great overall vibe.

Great spot with amazing food and a warm and cozy atmosphere. Prices are a bit steep but great for a fancy night out. The onion soup toast and the chicken wing noodles were standouts.

Lake Inez was this year’s pick to celebrate my cousins birthday. It was such a great choice! The food here is absolutely delicious. We love the small plates and being able to try different dishes. We were wanting to try 5, but that would be reaching. The server recommended about 4, which is a solid choice for sharing amongst 2 people. To start off, we ordered the lycheetinis. I loved the reference to below deck, one of my favourite reality shows. We also ordered a non alcoholic drink afterward which was also delicious! Back to the food, so the food comes out in order of the menu. I’m going to rate the dishes on what I like best, even though they were all good. 1. Meet-cute in the white lily diner brunch queue. 2. Beef Patty tartare 3. Ribs and ranch 4. All-nite Greek town diner The tomatoes that were on the sourdough bread for my #1 dish were divine! I wasn’t even going to get this dish, it was a last minute decision.. but it was definitely the winner at the table. So you need to try this if you are going! Another thing I want to add is how accommodating the restaurant was to my cousins dairy allergy. They were able to remove and the put the dairy component in another bowl for me to try. The ribs & ranch and the Greek town diner both have dairy. We were super grateful for that. We really enjoyed our time here and service was great, as well. Definitely a memorable dinner.

Recommended by a friend. First time visit. Food was delicious. Very unique. Waitress was warm and friendly. Music was very loud and we couldn't have a decent conversation without yelling. We even moved tables, but it wasn't much better. The manager said their audio system needs to be replaced. We won't be returning until the sound can be adjusted to a volume where you can hear each other comfortably. Also restaurant is very difficult to find given signage is almost non-existent. May I recommend a sign perpendicular to the front window so guests can find this unique place.
