Lakehouse

Fourth time dinning here and never been disappointed. LOVE the food, service and atmosphere.!!!!!

The lakehouse was already busy when we ate but the food came quickly and the waitstaff were friendly and efficient. A great family place to eat - thumbs up from our 11 and 13 year olds!

Love the fondue

Excellent service despite it being a busy night. Large portions. With the noise of the other diners and the big screen TV it would have been nice if the music could have been turned down as it was hard to have a conversation. Otherwise a great place to dine.

Loved this restaurant!! The food and service was outstanding!! Had the malaysian beef curry, pork belly and date pudding. Will be back for sure!!

Great service and very friendly. Food was delicious.

Although there were other very rowdy guests, our request to move tables was not a problem. The food was fabulous and would highly recommend the platter. Great value and excellent variety. We loved the option of ordering a jug of cider and an extra scoop of ice cream to the gluten free brownie was no trouble. We were very well looked after by the friendly waitresses and would definitely dine again - especially in the summer where you can sit outside looking towards the beautiful lake. Top job Lakehouse.

Great service and the food portions, very generous size.
Overall experiencewas excellent. Keep it up!!

Casual and easygoing dining. They had set a table aside for us which was awesome. Loved the friendly service. We got the salt and pepper squid, full size seafood chowder, nachos, kid’s burgers and drinks. Food came out quick and was yummy. Kids enjoyed their sundaes topped with treats. Husband said his dark beer was good. Great place for a young family with restless kids - noise from all the chatter around us hid our noise too! Thanks for a good evening.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Great selection of craft tap beers which changes weekly. The food is top class and service is quick. We would highly recommend this restaurant for casual dining.

Great casual dining. Thanks Lakehouse.

Fantastic service! Loved it, would visit again!

Enjoyed our meal at hte Lake House on Friday night. A bit noisy when we arrived with peope there just for a drink, but soon quietened down when they left. Great selection of options and the food was well presented. Cheers.

Delicious! Thanks

Great food,friendly staff.highly recommend.

Great food, location and service :)

Big serving and staff were accommodating

The food was very amazing and so relish. Wasn't waiting that long considering it was a full house

Great food and great dining experience

The lakehouse has a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Upon arrival, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our table was nicely set for us and the service was friendly and efficient. The manu had a good selection of dishes and it was interesting because ive never used a stone to cook my own steak at a restaurant before. We really enjoyed it. The meal sizes were generous, not to mention delicious, and also very reasonably priced! Thank you for having us.

Great service, great food.

Highly recommended.The service here was amazing. So obliging as a couple of us have Coeliac disease and nothing was a hassle for them with our diet. The food was fantastic from the fish which was salmon, the Lakehouse stone plate was delicious, the pizza tasty. Will definitely be back.

Great food in a casual setting! The lovely Scottish waitress was awesome. We had the sharing platter, a seafood chowder and a pizza between 3 of us. The seafood chowder was AMAZING! Definitely one of the best I've had. The platter was perfect in terms of the variety of food, and the portion sizes. Hubby and son shared the chocolate fondue for dessert - it was huge, and they totally loved it! Really looking forward to going back to The Lakehouse to try one of their hot-stone meals.

Dinner arrived pretty quickly, the meat that you grill your self was of good quality. Good overall experience

Great food and service!

Really nice restaurant. Food was really good. Really welcoming... Would happily go again.

Service was great, friendly and attentive even though they were very busy; the food was good, pretty much standard pub grub. Kids enjoyed their meal deals ( especially their ice creams!)

Excellent dining experience! We were a group of four including two friends from Australia. They absolutely loved the whole experience. The sharing platter is the perfect entree for 2-4 people. I am vegetarian and I still had great options in it.
The stone grills were amazing. We had the tasting plate, lamb rump and a vege stack. Cannot fault it. In fact it was great! My Australian friends were so impressed with the taste and quality of food along with the great service. We would like to commend the bartender (I think he is Krishant). Would always go there when we are in Taupo

We enjoyed a couple of sharing platters and a few glasses of wine. Service was great, friendly staff and food was yummy.

Great customer service, best stone grilled steak meal I've ever had.

Love this place!! Specifically came to Taupo for this dinner!! Incredible food and super friendly and fun staff. Had a fantastic time!

Great food, good brews, lovely staff and a fabulous view. What's not to like?!

Really good beers and great staff

I had the fish of the day, Salmon, I was not asked how I wanted it cooked It came slightly over cooked with the skin side down which was very soggy and oily, I could taste the oil it was cooked in. The broccoli was under cooked and bland, chips very ordinary. My partner had the Lamb Shanks, the jus was nice with the mashed potato but one lamb shank was tough and dry whilst the other okay.

Awesome place to take kids

The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we felt so welcomed and was showed to our table. On the reserved table we can see that a handwritten board with my name one it and to me that was the special touch by them. They were busy the whole time, but always take special notice on our table and I must say, the customer service is just top notch. No balls were dropped even when there are only 2 staffs running the whole floor. The food was of good potion size and the kids were happy with their kid's meal. Lakehouse is a place I will be back and will recommend to my friends who are based out of town when they are here in Taupo. Well done to all in Lakehouse for making this dining experience such a wonderful and memorable one!

Dined on St Patricks day and must have had the luck of the Irish. Great service with friendly smiley faces. Food was great I recommend trying one of their hot stone meals. Very cool idea. We will be back again.

Such a great place with a nice atmosphere. Food was great and staff friendly.

Great family environment. The staff were just fantastic, catering to our quite varied culinary requirements.
Will definitely return....

Good value, service and food.

We had a lovely time there 1st time having a stone grill probably wont do that again. But I wouldn't let that stop you from going lovely space great service, and welcoming environment.

The staff were great, kept coming to our table as we waited for our last guest to arrive...not a problem. Food was great! Thank you

Good

I took my young son on a dinner date - we had an awesome time - the hot stone experience is such fun and a great way to get your steak just right! The chocolate fondue was fabulous too! Thanks for making our time memorable

waitress was new and brought out mains with entrees. Then a more experienced waitress asked us if we had asked to have our entrees served separately from our mains. In other experiences, I have never had to ask for my entree to be brought out before my mains. Food was scrumptious and fair prices.

Good food. The Hot Stone was amazing. Great atmosphere and experience.

Excellent menu choice and everyone was happy.

Had a great time - food was delicious - quite an experience with the sizzling stone!

Lakehouse Taupo were very good to us we enjoyed our time there.

Lakehouse has a huge range of beer and cider. The cocktails are also alright! (Raw peanuts on the snickers cocktail should be replaced by roasted ones though)
Camembert balls as a starter were delicious, and our tacos were piled high with filling - more than we could manage to eat so we definitely didn’t leave hungry! Service was very friendly if a bit sporadic. Hopefully smoking at the outside tables will be cut off soon, a face full of smoke doesn’t improve anything.
Great view of the lake and a pleasant, casual place for dinner.

Lake house staff were amazing! Great conversation and level of service. Arrived and our table was set for inside where we preferred outside - this was not a problem and the staff efficiently moved our table for us. Drink advice was on point and were brought in good time. We shared a heap of platters and the food was fantastic. The Nachos, Camembert bites and Bruchetta was by far the best, we got double rounds!
Would be back without a doubt! great location, great staff and great food!
