    My husband took my daughter and me to the Lakehouse for Mother's Day. It has been on our list for several months, and I was pleasantly surprised that he made a reservation there for such a special day. I have to admit that the vibe and the menu were more upscale than I expected, and I just loved that unique combination of waterfront and bistro-like polish. Everything we tried—from the appetizer to our cocktails to our entrees—was excellent, and we were so happy to take home some leftovers. It was slightly chilly on Mother's Day, so we didn't sit outside. But the staff was so kind to fulfill my husband's request for an indoor table facing the water. It was just perfect. Our server was really great, as well. We cannot wait to return this summer.
