“ I love the burger that I ordered when I visited the restaurant (lake burger). Love the atmosphere and the staff were very accommodating and planning back to try other foods ”
“ This place is great! The food is AMAZING! Everything was delicious and the Southwest Fried Chicken Sandwich was a whole other level! The atmosphere was great and the view of the lake is an added delight and the service was lovely. Definitely a place you should try and we will come back any chance we get! ”
“ I love going for dinner at this place specially to catch up the sunset. Food is really good but the patio at sunset by the lake is magical. It can get chilly though (you would be right by the water and wind gets chilly at night) so remember to take a jacket. I also like the patio better since inside it can get a little bit noisy. But food is worthy. ”
“ Doing the circle route and spent the night in Lake Cowichan on a whim. Walked over to Jake's at the Lake and we were glad we did. Great cocktails after a long day of travel and the service was great as were our dinners. The fried Humboldt Squid was great. Definitely recommend. ”
“ The food was excellent. The service was excellent. Thank you Angela! The view of the lake was excellent. We really enjoyed the diverse options on the menu and their flexibility with customizations. We had the salmon, the curry and the Farmhouse salad. Great cold beer and a full bar too! I would definitely return and recommend eating here if you have the time. ”
