Lola's Lakehouse

Wow! Top notch! We visited on a busy Friday night and was impressed with the decor and vibe of the whole place from the get-go. The place was decorated for Christmas and it made me feel in the spirit. We made sure to book a reservation ahead of time and were glad we did as it was packed. One thing that was a little odd is when we checked in for the reservation the hostess didn't explain much. She stated she'd check to make sure a table was open and when she came back went on to others instead. We asked her if she knew of anything and seemed more like we were a burden checking-in.Once sat at our table our server was great. She was managing a lot of tables that night, too, I was quite impressed! Drinks ordered: Cappuccino and Christmas festive menu of their Mule & Martini versions. Both were so delicious! The martini especially I do have to say!Food ordered: Appetizer of their steak and curds fondue. We still talk about it to this day! A must try... you'll be dreaming of it, too! Main dish was prime rib with mashed potatoes and asparagus... so yummy! Dessert: carrot cake... was a perfect mix of textures between crunchy and creamy. The photobooth that we did at the end was such a fun touch. We can't wait to be back to try more food and drinks!

@lolaslakehousemn christmas pop-up was NEXT level. my biggest regret is not stopping to get photos of the main bar & pop-up outside bar - they truly decked the halls from head-to-toe to make things even sweeter - they have live music playing in the bar! if you're looking for a spot to get into the holiday spirit (that also has free parking) look no further and make your reservation ASAP (especially if you're hoping to stay longer than a cocktail because seats fill up FAST!!) with a free photo booth, tons of cute & delicious themed drinks and an unbeatable menu of options, you simply can't go wrong. if time permits, i'll jingle my butt all the way back here again & again before the holiday season is over. our orders: oysters for 3 holiday themed mojito braised short ribs (to die for !!!!!) cajun cavatappi fish & chips crème brûlée

If I could give this place, 11 out of five stars I would. I felt like royalty in this place. Not only was I immediately greeted and seated the second I walked in the door. I was given water within five seconds of sitting down, with a menu And a waiter who is ready to serve immediately. They checked to see if I wanted my appetizers first, checked to see if I wanted recommendations and checked to see if I had any questions about anything on the menu. When the food came out, the waiter also checked to make sure that the food was to our liking and that we enjoyed it. My friend gets full easy and wanted the rest of her food to go and the waiter said "I just want to make sure that the food was to your liking personally." So, not only did the waiter check when it came out and we had already eaten halfway but he also checked as we left. This place had the absolute best service that I have ever received at any restaurant. I have been to hundreds of restaurants across the U.S and nothing beat the service here or even came close. That's just the service, the food, mouthwatering. The lemonade I got was the best lemonade I've had, handcrafted, of course. the oysters were very fresh and a delicacy. If you told me that they harvested those oysters out of the lake they're next to I would've believed you. The flatbread was cooked to perfection, and every bite was the feeling of the sun on your face in the middle of a summer day. It was phenomenal, no burnt or overcooked edges. This place was affordable, considering how fancy it was and how great the food was. The oysters were $22 for a half dozen. The flatbread was large enough for two people and was $17. 100% will be coming back. I think it'll honestly be my new place with my husband. I just went here 3/26 and I'm planning on going on 3/28.Update: We came today and amazing service once again!!!! My husband and I are hooked!! Thanks Lola Lakehouse for setting a new standard! We had Joyce, and she was attentive and amazing. The manager even stopped in to check on us and our service as well as other tables!Update: The bars service here is AMAZING we tried it for the first time and we loved every single bar tender and gave our bar tender a very big tip!! Thanks for an amazing night once again!

I've been to Lola's twice in the last month and have been equally impressed with the food and service both times! Their menu is expansive with quite a few vegetarian options to choose from. Both times I had the portobello mushroom burger with sweet potato fries and it was truly delicious! The holiday jingle bar set up that they currently have is also really festive and a fun way to get into the holiday spirit. I'm excited to come back and explore more of the menu!

Visited Lola's Lakehouse with coworkers on a busy Wednesday evening. When we got there, they had live music playing and a beautiful lakeside view.Since work was paying for dinner, our group tried a lot of different dishes. We started with a dozen east coast oysters and the shrimp and scallop ceviche. I ordered the squid ink seafood pasta and asked to get the extra lobster tail on top. The waitress informed me that they ran out of lobster tails and only had the chopped lobster, which was fine. We finished dinner with cheesecake and the waffle dessert. All the dishes were very good and nice portion sizes.Unfortunately service was very slow and I got sick for 2 days after which is why I gave 3 stars. I'm not sure if it was the oysters or seafood pasta but the excessive bathroom trips wasn't the experience I was hoping for which is why I gave 3 stars.

Overall we had a very nice experience here!Service was kind and timely, and the food was very good! The outdoor seating has a very nice ambiance to it, but the shade can feel a bit sparse during the middle of the day. I would certainly recommend checking out the cheese curds. They were nice and soft with a crispy outside, probably the best ones I've ever had!

The place is busy so get reservations and request to be seated outside if it's nice. We were there on a night with live music and it was a bit loud but highly enjoyable. The food tasted great (between 4 of us we had burgers and salads) and the ambience was excellent. Waitstaff was attentive and the drinks were reasonable. Tough to find a high quality restaurant near a lake and Lola's delivers.

Went to Lola's for the first time a few days ago and oh.my.gosh! It was such a wonderful experience! We went for my brother's birthday and got to experience "Lola's Jingle Bar". Despite how busy it was, the bartender and servers were so nice and friendly. The food was SO SO GOOD! You know it's good when all of us were clean platers! I had the Alaskan Halibut and it was amaaaazing! The crab cakes were phenomenal! Whatever corn mixture they had under the crab cakes, give me a big bowl of that! Would highly recommend Lola's! Definitely will be back for many more visits

The server was kind and friendly. The seating is really uncomfortable on the hard wooden benches. The sound carries and it makes the whole restaurant loud so people who are hard of hearing should sit outside if they want to have a conversation. The food was not that great. The walleye came with huge asparagus that was woody tasting. The fish was just ok. The lobster roll was very greasy but the sweet potato fries were pretty good.The fish and chips were good but they stack the fish on top of the fries and they get soggy and I can't eat soggy fries.

Have been there once in the summer (outside) and once in the winter (in the bar). Like winter vibe a little better than summer vibe but enjoyable either way. Typical bar food/appetizers but haven't had an actual 'dinner' there. Definitely a destination we have on our list of places to go.
