Lake Forest Bar and Grill

Went for the weekend brunch along with the $5 mimosas. Interior lighting was a bit dim, though the decor is cozy. Waitress was sharp albeit curt. Started with a pineapple mimosa which was more juice than wine. Decided to try a Bloody Mary which had a good base, vodka tasted cheap so added more lime, salt, and Tabasco to mask its flavor. Tried their Buratta eggs Benedict which was very good, poached egg perfectly cooked and went well with the buratta and tomato. Hollandaise was ok as well as the biscuit.

I’ve been here several times and always leave saying I’ll never eat there again. There aren’t many options in my area, so they are often busy. But the food is extremely mediocre and way over priced. Last night was the worst. They had a delicious sounding special of blackened salmon stuffed with crab. What I received was not blackened at all, was slightly overcooked, and the crab was a mushy blend the texture of canned crab, mixed with peppers and onions, for $35. I would have sent it back if we had time. The very young and mostly absent waiter said that’s what their blackening always looks like and seemed completely unconcerned that I didn’t like it. No offer to remake it (not that I had time), no comped glass of wine.

Completely love this restaurant!!! Patio is dog friendly. Inside is service animal friendly. The soup of the day "Cream of Mushroom" soup was not overly salty. The happy hour menu was great... tried the burger and would highly recommend the skewers for a healthy and affordable full meal! The servers, Matt and Sabra, were so beyond amazing and helpful in informing me of their secret menu. I love the ambience and layout of the remodel!!! I will be back for their breakfast to try soon.

They recently started serving breakfast/ brunch with great prices earlier in the morning. Great biscuits and gravy can even upgrade it to chicken fried chicken as well

Decided to stop in here after driving by and being curious for years! Glad we did, this will be a new weekly date night spot for a nice meal. My gripes are minor. Booth was cozy, food was delicious. We got the bruschetta buratta, steak salad, and prime rib sandwich. The bruschetta exceeded my expectations for a place that isn’t Italian. The sandwich had a lot of beef and the fries had that fresh cut flavor without being limp - the only disappointing thing was the au jus, it was so salty I couldn’t eat it and I’m a person who loves my salt. My partner loved the steak salad. For two drinks, an appetizer, and 2 entrees we ended up paying $118 with tip, so not cheap but the food was good quality and we had a good time. If it’s cold out I suggest bringing a sweater or something because it’s a
