    Food was excellent! My husband got the brisket, which came with sweet potato fries and the best maple dipping sauce and I had the beef short rib that was braised perfectly. The wedge salad was delicious and came with giant cubes of bacon that were incredible. Our waiter, Kyle, was so attentive and friendly. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back.

    This was the first time dining at the Lakehouse and we will definitely be back. We had lunch to celebrate my mom’s birthday and upon walking in, the place is beautiful and so cozy. We started with calamari as an appetizer which was delicious- the lemon honey aioli was a nice touch. We then had the farm green salad which also was tasty and ended our meal with a Lakehouse burger. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back again.

    We went to 317 Main for Valentine’s Day. So glad we did. There was a special menu for the night but my husband was craving the Paella and mentioned it to our server. (We’ve been to 317 Main before) Well, she told the chef about my husbands comment and Chef Eric made it for him special off the menu. And that’s why we go there. The service, the quality of the food and drinks are absolutely the best.
