This little restaurant has a style all its own. It feels quaint and rustic all at the same time. when you walk up the walkway beside the building, the first thing you notice is the beautiful lake and there is a porch with rocking chairs and bar chairs where you can enjoy the view. The lake is also visible from about every seat from what I could tell.
The waitresses were friendly; the food was delicious and the presentation was lovely.
I didn’t have a reservation but they weren’t too busy and was seated right away (on Thursday at 7:00).
My pork chop was thick and juicy; placed on black eyed peas and collards which had a rich, delicious flavor. I definitely recommend it! This was a gluten free, dairy free dinner. It looked the safest.
Also, there isn’t a big selection but I think enough to satisfy any palate.

Dining during a 3 course meal week for $29 is a stellar deal! We decided to make last minute reservations and we couldn’t be happier! The service was incredible our table and seating were comfortable and had a beautiful view of the lake. But the food ~ Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about the quality of the food that we were served. The last time I ate scallops cooked that perfectly was at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY and the Short Rib just fell apart with my fork. Beautiful presentation and so tasty. My husband said the Venison meatballs were the best meatballs he’s ever had. Don’t miss out on this gem.

I used speech to text in my car after I left the restaurant speech to text completely mangled my original review as far as grammar and punctuation that is why I’ve edited the review. I am looking forward to returning and having Dinner at this restaurant. Looked this place up on Google maps pulled up their website reviewed menu and gallery liked what I saw. I drove a little over two and a half hours to have lunch there, when I arrived right after the lunch hour should have started, based on their website,( I did not see that they only opened for dinner at the time I looked at their website) .There was no one around. Iwalked around to the porch facing the lake to the main door. There was a sign saying they were closed that day for a private event they did not update their website(the website on accessed through Google maps) to reflect this. I checked updates by owner and by customers nothing on the website indicated they would be closed that day it was a big disappointment.The views from the restaurant are great, as you can see in the pictures that I will upload.Maybe I’ll get another try another day but it would be nice if businesses would update their websites when there are major changes it’s really not that difficult to do(this references the website I accessed from Google maps and I generally don’t look on Facebook for information about hours of operation etc)

We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Retreat at Lake Wateree, and it was a delightful experience. The parking facilities were excellent, making it convenient for our group to arrive and depart with ease.The food was truly exceptional, both in taste and presentation, and very reasonably priced. For a party of nine, our total bill, including tip, was just $180.00, which is quite affordable.The atmosphere was serene, enhanced by the beautiful outdoor view of the lake. The decor was tasteful, adding to the overall pleasant ambiance of the place.Cleanliness is clearly a priority at The Retreat, as the entire establishment was spotless. The service was another highlight – the staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our visit was enjoyable from start to finish.Overall, The Retreat at Lake Wateree offers a wonderful dining experience with great food, a lovely atmosphere, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it!

Small and intimate venue with very nice and welcoming staff! We had the pleasure of having Lacie as our waitress, and she made us feel very special celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. I very much enjoyed the fried chicken, my husband enjoyed his salmon as well. We were both head over heels impressed with their Chocolate Bread Pudding that they had on the menu that night and wish we would have taken another serving or two home with us!! If we are ever in the area again, we will be sure to stop in!!

The reason I’m giving the food the three stars is because I had the waffles and chicken which I love. The chicken looked delicious but it just tasted okay. It just tastes like they had dipped it in the flour and Friday. There was no seasoning on it for my liking. Great atmosphere. Just a little noisy and it took very long to get the food the way they bring the food out. I don’t believe it’s a good system. If you have a table full of people and five of them, get chicken and waffles? Why aren’t you bringing all of that out first? Or if it’s grits and eggs all of that first instead of bringing one plate of food out at a time. Anyway, I didn’t like the service that much. Waitresses were great. They were polite. They were good. I guess they can only bring out what is played it for them. It’s a beautiful place sitting on a lake.

We have eaten here a handful of times recently and have been extremely pleased every time! Lauren took great care of us! We arrived by boat a few times recently and were seated promptly with great service! The restaurant has a great atmosphere right on the water! Our food has been outstanding! My husband is a huge fan of the Retreat Burger and I most recently just got Blackened Pumpkin Swordfish with a pumpkin beer and it was outstanding!! Highly recommend!

Visited The Retreat at Lake Wateree with a new friend and decided to dine outside to enjoy the serene view of the boat landing. The beautiful outdoor area added to the charm of our evening. Dinner was delicious, and our waitress was attentive, providing excellent recommendations for mocktails. I highly recommend the Southern Goddess drink. The steaks were cooked perfectly to our requested temperatures, with great presentation and delightful preparation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I would highly recommend!

Excellent Food, Wonderful Experience. Definitely worth our hour drive!! The only thi by missing was the fire in the fireplace wasn’t going. I do wish we’d arrived earlier and had longer to enjoy the porch!
