Reviews for The Lakefront Restaurant at Theater on the Lake in Chicago, IL

Service is good and courteous, I was there on a Sunday afternoon and the place was half full. Prices are a little on the... expensive side, but not too bad. the only downside is the food quality, not fresh at all. Food wise I’d give it a 6. But thelake view is spectacular. Read more

I had a lovely salad and cheese plate while enjoying the view of the lake. Excellent service and the food was delish. This is a... new fave. Read more

$10 valet parking is the easiest way to this scenic location. The restaurant hosts a simple brunch menu with plenty of sweet and... savory options. Lots of alcoholic drink options - definitely $$. Also a decent list of non-alcoholic options. Service wasexcellent, lots of folks making sure you have everything you need during your 90 minute visit (which the host explicitly tellswhen you when they seat you). Food arrived quickly and the entrees were flavorful and well-portioned. A successful brunchexperiences leaves me curious to try their lunch/dinner fare. Read more

This is an experience. From the valet parking, mandatory cash only, to the views and the menu. While the brunch menu is small... there is something for everyone and the cocktails are remarkable. Read more

Great view , okay food, i feel like brunch menu was super limited i wish they would have put more options , employees are... friendly, for the location and the view you get I think prices are cheap . We will return to this restaurant sometime at nightfor a romantic dinner. Read more

Disappointing experience. Nothing was terribly bad, but it was not good either. Pros: great location, friendly staff. Cons:... disappointing food, small portions, bad smell in the main dining area. Dining hall was nice, but smelled very fishy (and not inthe positive sense of the word). Not the end of the world - we sat outside, which was beautiful. We ordered a spicy cucumbermargarita, fish and chips and the cauliflower tacos. The dishes were relatively small portions (for the prices of 18$ and 14$,respectively), and didn’t taste particularly good. Overall, not good value to the money in my opinion. The spicy cucumbermargarita was just bad. It tasted like old pickle juice. Again, not the end of the world, but not a pleasant experienceeither. Ended up going with 2 stars for this review, which is a bit harsh, but in my opinion the did fall short of three. Read more

Great views. Waited over 45 minutes to get seated even though many tables were empty (and stayed empty throughout our wait and... stay..). Read more

Nice relaxing restaurant with a view of Lake Michigan. Service and food was excellent. Tables are spaced out and they also have... outdoor seating. Read more
