This intimate spot has long been a destination for diners in the know:
incredible food, an impressive wine list, pleasant atmosphere and lake
views are all part of the Lakefront experience. Chef de Cuisine Frederic
Pierrel, trained at the Institute Culinaire de Gerardmer, France, blends
classic French cuisine with regional influences from his native eastern
France and the eastern Sierra. Locally grown produce is artfully paired
with a seafood terrine or smoked trout for a delectable starter. Favorite
main courses include a mixed game selection or a pan-seared veal tenderloin
and sea scallops. Desserts are something to be savored; follow a wild
blueberry tart or a nougat glace with a rich glass of port. The Lakefront
also has a full bar.
The Lakefront's acclaim has spread beyond the region. The restaurant
and chef have garnered praise from such noted sources as Bon Appetit, Sunset,
the Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The Lakefront staff invites you to join them for a special evening.

Diners rave about their Lakefront experience:
Over the years we make it a tradition on our trips to have one night
where we try to find excellent food in a comfortable atmosphere with
a good bottle of wine. You would be surprised at how difficult this is
to find. My wife and I were treated to a perfect dining experience at
The Lakefront Restaurant. The atmosphere allows you to enjoy the obviously
world class meals slowly. Having over 100 bottles of wine in our wine
cellar, we were surprised at the favorite wines of ours that were on
the wine list.
