Stopped here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. We were both a little anxious once we saw the limited menu but after looking things over for a few minutes we both decided.
I had the Lake Effect martini, the cajun cream cheese burger with fries and the soup of the day, coconut curry potato soup; we split appetizers of the cheese curds and onion rings, which unfortunately are not pictured. My partner had the tan daiquiri, the burger effect, add bacon, with fries.
Everything was phenomenal. The Lake Effect sauce was really good on everything it was paired with. The drinks were delicious. The service was fantastic.
We will definitely be visiting this fine establishment again!!!

We got invited out with a group that tries different restaurants monthly. This month was Lake Effect Restaurant and Bar at Island Lake. Walking in, the outside and decor are definitely new. The restaurant is extremely clean. We were greeted and seated immediately. The menu seems a bit small, but don’t let that fool you. We started out with and old fashion and a Lutsen Sunset. The old fashion was decent. The Lutsen Sunset was delicious. A perfect amount of sweet and tart. For dinner we got the Jerk Pork Stroganoff. This is smoked shoulder, brussels, squash, kale, cream sauce, duck fat vin, micro radish. Amazing flavors with a tiny hint of cinnamon on the back side. Large portions and I’m not a fan of pasta but this pasta is a must! We also got the Sausage pizza this is house made Italian sausage, caramelized mustard sauce, sauerkraut, mozzarella. This is the best sauerkraut we’ve tried. A little sweet and a little sour. The sausage is definitely homemade and delicious. This is by far my favorite sausage and sauerkraut pizza to date! This place is a must!

My husband and I came here for dinner, we indulged ourselves in flavorful and intriguing cocktails, the spinach artichoke garlic honey dip as an appetizer, savory entrees, and homemade cheesecake for dessert. The food did not disappoint. The wait staff were very friendly and prompt. The atmosphere was modern and lively. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the unique cocktail menu!
