    What I will say is, if you are going to charge resort prices, you might want to serve resort type of food. The food was cold, the service was extremely slow, and no one seemed to care. I would not go back to the Lakeview. I do not recommend it, last year I went and I waited 20 minutes and not one person came to my table to take my order. I left and went to a different Shanty Creek restaurant, which was awesome.

    The restaurant was great - located inside a golf resort. The distance was much further than reported by the app. Instead of 30 minutes away, it was an hour and twenty. Once there we were quite pleased.

    The look and feel of the restaurant was beautiful. Expect the High Noon cans scattered on the ground below. The hospitality was awkward. As if they not sure if we wanted to eat there or not. The cocktails were delicious. The appetizer was steak bites that tasted like squishy oil covered meat. The waitress was nice enough to swap it for the French onion, which was also not something I would pay money to eat. The wedge salad was just okay. Probably the best part of the meal. Waffle fries tasted like freezer burn store brand, and the cherry bbq chicken was rubbery and tastes like a cheap Asian buffet. We really wanted to enjoy this place and hate to leave a bad review, but 73 dollar dinner? Yeah I feel no one should waste their money here. It could have been so good.

    Go during Happy Hour (5-6:30) for great prices on apps, cocktails and drafts (we got a cosmo and a summer shandy). Cheryl is the best as she reminded us when it was 6:28 that we could get another drink at happy hour price!

    Very disappointed, I remember the shanty creek glory days when it was the place to go, now it’s nothing more than a glorified cafeteria
