The Lake's Edge

This restaurant has the potential to be a great place to eat in Whitehall, especially since they're the only non-chain on this end of town. I like that they cater to a younger crowd, and not the seniors that seem to flock down the road to Gary's restaurant. They have a great drink menu, although the drinks are a little pricey. The food menu is good, but I hope it keeps improving. I had a jalapeno burger that was good, but a little lacking in flavor. The staff really needs to step it up if they're going to be a great place to eat. Service was a bit slow, and it took a long time to get seated. The host had the responsibility of bussing tables as well as seating people, and couldn't keep up. Several parties were seated ahead of our party of six, because nobody was available to clean a large table for us, which was quite frustrating. If they up their game, they'll be a force to be reckoned with in Whitehall.

The place was packed on a Friday night but we only waited 10 minutes for a nice table by the window. Service was attentive and staff was very engaging and pleasant. Cocktail menu looked interesting but pricey. The homemade salad dressings were very good. We both had the Beer Can chicken -- it was tasty but undercooked . Ugh. Could not eat the leg or thigh at all. Had the summer squash -- nicely cooked and not overdone but pretty heavily peppered. Reasonable food prices with a nice selection so we will try it again -- and order something different.

Don't waste your money at this place. My wife and I travel a lot and have had overall good experiences with restaurants. This is the worst in memory. We tried to make reservations by phone. Their phone doesn't work. We ordered drinks---my bourbon Manhattan was maybe an ounce of bourbon and no sweet vermouth. Wine mediocre at best. We were told before we ordered that 3 of the entree items of a limited set of selections were not available. When we ordered another, were told that one also not available. No more than 10 minutes after we ordered the food came. We asked where our salads were and said as anyone would expect you have salads first. The manager brought the food and became very snippy and rude when we said we wanted the salads before the food. She said are you going to dine with us or not. Then one salad came. Had to ask where the second salad was. The manager never really apologized or offered any consideration for the terrible service. To top it off both the baked potato and baked sweet potato were cold and the brisket was dried out. Don't think you will have an enjoyable leisurely meal here.

We are so happy to have this restaurant in town. Only being open 3 weeks, they did well. StArted with Brussels sprout app which was AMAZING!!!!! We had the salmon dinner and brisket, both were delicious. The mashed potatoes were fabulous. Our service was not great, but the owner stopped by and spoke to us and she was extremely nice. I think everything will only improve from here, they have been open a super short time and will find a great rhythm.
