God service. Good food. I would say this is a classic place to go. Nothing extraordinary but not even too bad. Service is good. Food is standard. Nothing more. I am sure u can find better elsewhere. But if you are in this area it is worth to have a try.

The concierge at the Hilton University Place recommended their in house restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had a lovely salmon with gnocchi and my companion enjoyed a beef tenderloin with scalloped potatoes. Despite the generous portions, the desert looked too good to pass up. The apple tart and chocolate ganache were beautifully prepared and delicious.

Limited menu, but all prepared well. Great staff, nice view of the lake. Try the Steak Frittes for the Gruyere Black Truffle Fries!

We all know that food on the road can be hit or miss, Lakefront does food right, the food was perhaps the freshest best tasting grub I have had on the road in a long time. I especally liked the chicken sandwich, ate every bite of it. Breakfast was the best, fresh fruit, muffins, eggs made to order and no... More

Had a quick lunch at Lakefront Restaurant & loved it. The view is lovely & dining area clean. We ordered sandwiches & a salad, which came looking like they could be on the cover of a magazine. Yum! When we had to leave unexpectedly, the waiter quickly retrieved a carry-out box for us. (I was not going to leave that... More

I wouldn't say this is the best steak house. It's okay. Dinner Arrived just before a huge rehearsal dinner party. Only a couple of tables occupied. No wait but only two servers. The recommendation for the filet was not good but the sauté mushrooms helped...a lot. The au jus was bland. The filet was over cooked but we were too... More

We ate here recently with a larger group and we were very impressed with the service and experience. We were staying at the hotel and wanted to avoid having to drive in traffic to another location so we decided to stay at the hotel, and we were pleasantly suprised. The waitstaff, chefs and manager all made a point of coming... More

We were on a tight schedule during our recent stay at the Hilton in which the Lakefront is located so we ended up eating lunch in the Lakefront twice, dinner once, and room service once. The room service, which came from the Lakefront, was impressive. We had returned late from attending a funeral visitation and called room service for a... More
