The Entrance Lake House

"Great food, we had an upstairs table with a window and the atmosphere was perfect for lunch. When I'm next in The Entrance I'll be sure to eat there again. My only complaint is the lamb shanks were a bit overdone. My partner really liked her flathead. Both were very filling."

"Well I have done over 350 reviews from fancy places in Sydney with out of this world views to small country cafes and this place has the most expensive pot of tea on all the places I’ve visited. &6. Nice cafe, nice view and helpful staff. - but come on that’s just ridiculous for a tea for one person - a few tea leaves a bit of water and a tiny pot of milk Food looked nice and that seemed reasonably priced Moral of the story is have a look at the menu before you order and to the owner realise that there are customers on their own who like to drink tea and don’t want to be ripped off!"

"Tonight I celebrated my birthday dinner with a big group of friends and family. We preordered the seafood platter and meat platter to share, to which I was very excited to experience as it’s a good mix of both meat and seafood which should cater for most. We were greeted by Sean, who was pleasant, attentive and welcoming upon our arrival. We had been sleep deprived, having brace the long drive from Sydney, at most surviving 5 hour sleep the night before so we ordered the coffee. Which was beautifully crafted and soothing to the throat - coffee perfectly prepared for us. Not too long after our main platters arrived, whilst the platters had an amazing mix of meat and seafood assortments, every dish didn’t taste freshly prepared. The Seafood didn’t come straight from the ocean, the meats were over cooked and tough, felt stale and didn’t hit the palette nicely. We ordered the pork belly , very salty and thank god we ordered salad to counter the saltiness of the meats. We ordered extra dozen oysters and as I am a huge fan of oysters, but it came out not chilled. The cooked prawns were pre-peeled on the plate which was a nice touch and made for a very well-presented seafood platter, it didn’t taste fresh like peeled on the day fresh. For these platters and at these exhorbant prices, I can’t say they were cheap nor fresh, which is what I expected for these prices. All in all, we left finishing what we could with our best efforts in mind (trust me, we ain’t a group who like wasting food). At these prices and quality I feel I got let down having read glowing reviews. Thank god the coffee which was amazing along with the top tier service from the staff and Sean who were very accomodating with us this evening."

"The breakfast menu attached. Timings are seasonal but generally 8-11am on weekends. Didn't understand the hype. Firstly the kitchen closes an hour before closure timings. Secondly the breakfast menu is a little limited. Thirdly the portion sizes are very average. We ordered the Lake House Avo smash and the mushroom dish. The poached eggs in both were overcooked. The avo actually tasted like it was going bad and the entire dish could do with more flavour. The mushroom dish was very average in flavour. They were definitely understaffed staff with just one female waiter (who was very friendly and polite) serving for the most part. Those who were there seemed to be doing their best, but no doubt the service was slow and food did not meet expectations."

"First time visiting The Entrance Lake House and didn't disappoint, the food was absolutely delicious, generous portions and has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. All the staff were great and very accommodating. Thank you Sean and your wonderful team for making our Mum's 80th Birthday lunch so beautiful, everyone enjoyed themselves and loved their meals!"
