The Lake House at Sylvan Beach

"Came in place was near empty and me and my party had to wait 15 mins to get a menu due to understaffing. Poor bartender had to manage the bar and take care of the tables, because they sent their only server home. The bartender/server did the best she could with what she was given. The dynamic caused for a poor dining experience whereas there was great service in the past. Most of the food was over salted, talk about HIGH RISK for HYPERTENSION. Me and my party ordered the warm pretzel rods with the brew pub mustard and were given some type of Italian vinaigrette as a dipping sauce which tasted rather uncanny. We asked for a honey mustard in place of the sauce and a side of pickles to balance out the saltiness in the chipotle chicken sliders. We were charged $1.75 for the honey mustard and charged for the pickles as well which I would understand if we were told about the up charge. I would recommend that the establishment better staff and think about the customer experience and employee experience in the future. On the upside the clam chowder is always fantastic , a good way to keep warm on a cold day. The fries were probably the only food not over salted tonight. The place is clean."

"Excellent spot for lunch on the lake! I'm sure dinner here is terrific too, but we came for lunch so that's what I'm reviewing. The restaurant, including the bathrooms, was VERY clean and well-kept. Everyone on staff was welcoming, accommodating, and very friendly. We ordered cocktails and food at the bar, then decided to sit outside. A server brought our food out to us, so we didn't have to go back in to the bar to get it. How nice! Great views of the lake, and the plexiglass wall blocked the wind and sand from blowing in on us while allowing us to still see out. The Spicy Bang Bang Bada Bing Shrimp was sooooo freaking good, and the Sweet Potato Fries were some of the best I'd ever had. My dad could only finish half of his Chicken Club sandwich, it was so big! My brother and I split the Shrimp Po Boy, which we both agreed was decent but could have used more filling (it was a little "bready"). Overall, the food and drinks were excellent, and the entire experience was top notch. I wish we had a place like this on Chautauqua Lake where I live - I'd definitely be a regular."

"Food was plentiful, delicious, and priced to justify the servings. There are tons of people eating and loud music and lots of boaters near the beach (No Pic) Overall, everything was great. Loved the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, lettuce, tomato mayo & honey mustard (to die for). My favorite when I go there."

"Best staff around. Professional, clean cut, well dressed, well presented. No kids allowed here as there is gambling and they don't make exceptions lol. Great food, our wait was a little bit long. The bang bang shrimp is phenomenal."
