“ Beautiful place and atmosphere! Great food, friendly and very attentive staff. Excellent service. I just loved the place. Perfect view to the lake, I could just sit there for hours sipping a drink or beer enjoying it and of course enjoying a great and delicious meal! ”
“ We celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary here and were impressed. It was cozy and special. Their new menu is amazing and loved their Long Island Iced Teas. Waitress was awesome! The Filet Mignon was better than the Ribeye. The Cheesecake was not regular and dense, it was more like a lighter cake. So good. The Brussels Sprouts with bacon were insane. Just a special place different if you’re looking for that. ”
“ Fantastic food and drinks. Drink menu provided many delicious options. The food menu was not overwhelming or vast, but provided options for everyone. And I wished I could try everything on the menu because everything sounded and looked amazing! If you're just passing through and stopping for a meal, everyone order something different and share the deliciousness.And the location and atmosphere are fantastic! ”
“ Lola’s Lakehouse in Waconia offers an exceptional dining experience, especially during their festive ‘Jingle Bar’ season. The Christmas decorations in the bar area are meticulously crafted, with exposed beams wrapped in twinkling lights and tinsel, creating a captivating atmosphere. Even the table lighting, featuring charming snowman outlines emitting a warm glow, adds to the holiday cheer. Our meal began with the steak tips fondue, accompanied by cheese curds and a spicy relish—a delightful starter. We also enjoyed both the clam chowder and the outstanding lobster bisque, a dish that not every restaurant masters, but Lola’s certainly does. For the main course, we shared a rare filet paired with smoked Gouda potatoes, which were delicious. However, the mac and cheese lacked the expected cheesiness and could benefit from added visual appeal, perhaps with a sprinkle of chives. Following our server Taylor’s recommendation, we concluded with the waffle ice cream sundae, a phenomenal dessert choice. Taylor’s service was impeccable—prompt and attentive. The entire staff demonstrated professionalism and dedication, contributing to a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend the lobster bisque and smoked Gouda potatoes. If you’re visiting during the holiday season, the ‘Jingle Bar’ ambiance is a must-experience, enhancing the overall enjoyment of your visit. Lola’s Lakehouse is a true gem, and we look forward to returning. Your happy neighbor, Geoffrey Serdar ”
“ We happened to be driving through town after a funeral. My wife was getting hungry so I told here to find something in the next town for we where still an hour from home and it was getting late. We came across this little gem. Very thriving atmosphere. Our waitress Angela was amazing. The food, omg the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely a must stop. Angela thank you for a great evening and giving us the up lift we needed after a long sad day. You truly made our evening delightful. ”
“ Lola's is our new fave! A touch of old-school charm with modern appointments, fantastic food, and fast, friendly service. My filet mignon was perfectly done and so tender! Try the Brussel sprouts and the waffle sundae, they won't disappoint! ”
“ I ate at Lola’s the day before Mothers Day. Busy but not crowded. Lovely nautical themed restaurant with varied menu and an extensive drink list. I ordered a hot turkey club on cranberry bread. My cohort ordered the walleye. She shared some and it was delicious. ”
“ An amazing and relaxing dining option. Beautiful interior with a lovely outdoor section on the lake. The food all tastes and smells incredible. Comes out hot and fresh. Lovely staff and service. The truffle Brussel sprouts were amazing, crispy and SO HUGE! The seafood stew was incredible with a flavorful broth light enough not to compete with the rest of the dish. The fish and chips were a whole fish fillet and less greasy than normal. Will return! The drinks are a bit watered down. My friend and I each got one and there tasted like there was maybe a drop mixed in. ”
