Since 2006, The LakeHouse restaurant has been the jewel of Bay Shore, NY. In the summer of 2016, owners Eileen & Matthew Connors and Jay Gut moved locations to a brand new dockside treasure. With stunning views and multiple fireplaces, comfortable seating for 100+ guests, two lounge areas, deck overlooking the Great South Bay, and both an indoor tavern room and a waterfront bar, The Lakehouse is touted by many as “one of the best restaurants on Long Island.” At night, the deck is illuminated, as is the waterfront lounge area where guests can congregate for after-dinner cocktails. This New American fine dining experience is not to be missed. The Lakehouse can now be reached by boat as well, as guest dockage is available at the new gorgeous bayside locale.*Please note that we not take reservations for particular tables & we cannot promise a particular area or table.

25 years at this "bustling" Melville hub for both "business meetings" and " family celebrations," "gracious" hosts make folks "feel welcome" as they dig into "large portions" of "delicious" Continental and Northern Italian Favorites. The first to turn a veal chop into veal parmigiana and the first to offer sushi at an Italian Bistro "crudo" Italian Sashimi. Our Sushi Chef ranked 3rd best sushi on Long Island.

    Lovely lunch with attentive service without feeling rushed. I enjoyed the several appitizers my table shared more than my entree. The raw bar was delicious

    All the other reviews are accurate with the following exceptions: Had spicy Rigatoni, was excellent. Bread was awesome, warm and flavorful. Service was spot on, waiter kept checking to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. Water was constantly being filled. Only issue I had was lack of wine choices, very limited and temperature was overly warm for a red wine.

    This was our fourth experience having dinner here, at The Janes, and honestly, it was just as wonderful as the time before! The food and service are absolutely amazing! It is remarkable how friendly every single staff member is, and the food is perfect every time. My husband had the NY Strip with blueberry butter, and loved it, as did our friends who had joined us. They also had to try the flaming sticky toffee and the chocolate layer cake, which was delicious as well. Always a fantastic experience.

    We visit every year on our anniversary. We even chose to get married ON our anniversary two years later at captain bills. We still celebrate every year with the captain bills family. They always celebrate us with a glass of champagne on the house and an amazing dining experience. We will continue to celebrate with them for years to come. Our server JC was very attentive and ensured our meal was perfect.
