I regret to share that my experience at the Lake View Restaurant’s $42 prime rib buffet was truly disappointing. The prime rib itself lacked any semblance of flavor, and even the au jus was unable to salvage the dish. Adding to the culinary letdown, the assortment of other meats was unidentifiable due to their lack of labels, leaving patrons to guess what they were consuming.

I was skeptical about the place considering some of the previous reviews but I had a great experience. I was told they recently updated their menu, so the one online isn’t the same one you get when you sit down. I wasn’t disappointed at all and I’m a picky eater. I ordered cedar plank salmon and my wife ordered NY strip. We had Arancini as an appetizer and I could have had 3 more orders. I gave this restaurant 4 stars because the prices were a bit high and the service was a bit slow but altogether a solid experience with a beautiful view.

Our child liked the Italian buffet but we were not aware when making the reservation it was only a buffet. Food was good, drinks could use some work. Overall a positive experience.

This used to be my favorite restaurant at Shanty until a recent interior renovation. The awful dull gray lighting looks as if you’re dining in a utility closet. The cozy ambiance of the large fireplace and outdoor views is gone due to the Kmart special blue light glare. The menu is no longer great either. Pelicans Nest is the new fave. Great food, staff and ambiance. Well worth the short drive.

COMPETENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE, & KIND ABOUT GLUTEN-FREE, IN BELLAIRE – I called ahead and talked to Danielle (who was AMAZING, kind, and gracious, btw), and she walked me through each menu item that would be safe from gluten and made note of my allergy on my reservation. Our waitress was also very knowledgable about what would be safe for me. They even told me that they use a GF spices blend for all their grilling. My husband and I both ordered the steak and mashed potatoes and it was so tasty. We each also ordered a dessert—I ordered creme brûlée and it was delicious! I did not get even the slightest bit sick. I was very pleased with our experience, and we would definitely go back. We sat at a lovely table by the windows and got to watch the sunset over Bellaire Lake. It’s so wonderful when you can relax about your food-intolerance enough to enjoy a beautiful evening and dining experience. Thank you to the gracious staff at The Lakeview Restaurant. We never even told them it was our 20th wedding anniversary. But they helped to make it so special and worry-free. Note to celiacs: The menu does state that their kitchen is not gluten free and there could be cross-contamination.

We dined for Easter brunch when we were up visiting. The food and service was excellent! We sat by the window with a beautiful view of Lake Bellaire.

As a new owner of a rental property in the resort, I wanted to see if I should recommend this restaurant to my future guests. I would be embarrassed to recommend dining here as the drinks were poor, the food was bland, and the service was terrible. While dining, the lights flickered for 15-20 minutes and patrons were commenting about it causing headaches or seizures. Just a nightmare!
