I’ve enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food! Kala, you’re an amazing waitress! You welcome everyone with a smile, you are attentive and personable. The scallops and shrimp were to die for! The sunset was beautiful to watch from our table. I’d love to frequent more often! Good job The Lakehouse! You make North Santee the place to hang out!

Our 2nd time visiting this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. Located right off of I-95 on the lake with a spectacular view and within walking distance from the campground we’re staying at. The food and service was great and their menu will fit any appetite and budget.

This place is highly overrated. The atmosphere does not match the prices. Service was good. We got fried gator tail, hushpuppies & twisted shrimp as an appetizer. Twisted shrimp was delicious. The hushpuppies were also good, but some of the gator tail was tough. My husband ordered the oscar filet. Filet mignon topped with crab cake & hollandaise sauce. Crab cake was very fishy, which means it wasn't fresh. We did not eat that. His filet was cooked perfectly & was delicious. I got blackened scallops with baked potato & corn nuggets. The scallops were delicious. Bill was way too high for atmosohere & food received.

We had a party of 9 and the service and food was phenomenal ❤️ 10 out of 10 recommend. The prime rib on Saturday night is off the charts. Tenderest I've ever had .. a huge portion also... Loved this place.

This was a great find! You will not find a better view anywhere on Lake Marion… Food was great, but the shining star was the homemade dessert! The “OMG Cheesecake” with homemade blueberry sauce was absolutely fantastic… Probably the best I’ve had. Another shining star was the hush puppies. They were the perfect bite-sized amount, which allowed for crispiness all the way around, but with a soft inside. I had catfish right from Lake Marion and my husband had grouper. I had the lemon garlic dill sauce, and it was great!
