Guestbook
“ Land & Lake is conveniently located near the riverwalk, at the base of the London House Hotel, and offers nice views outside. The inside is well lit with natural light, tastefully decorated, and welcoming. There is a bar to sit as as well as tables, and it appeared that there was patio seating out front too. They offered a variety of plates including salads, sandwiches, pasta, salmon, and chicken. Their kids menu has six options to choose from, which we really appreciated. We visited for lunch on a weekday in April. Our waitress was wonderful and service was terrific. She was friendly, kind, and attentive. Our food was delivered quickly and well seasoned. All together, we ordered the mac & cheese, grilled chicken ceasar salad, a steak salad, and a couple of cocktails. Everything was wonderful except for the steak which had a very strong and distinct fish flavor to it. From what I've come to understand, some grass-fed beef can be like this. We've never encountered something like this before, even with grass fed beef, and it was a turn off. Otherwise, we had a good experience. If we were local, we would definitely visit again and just order a different meal. ”
“ This restaurant is close to the riverwalk, atmosphere is phenomenal and service is at its best. We tried Chicken wings, Caesar Salad, Crispy Cauliflower and some Parmesan fries. I will recommend Orange juice as a must try item. We sat in the lobby, enjoying the view and weather at that moment is a great feeling. ”
“ Solid breakfast spot! Good service and our party of 4 were seated quickly on a busy Saturday. Coffee was served and refills given and breakfast was good! I really the peppers and eggs breakfast. ”
“ This place is simply amazing. Land & Lake Kitchen, located within the historic London House building, offers not just a meal but a full experience. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and instantly felt welcome. The atmosphere is lovely, with a balance of modern charm and historic character that makes it a beautiful setting for any occasion. The service was excellent—attentive without being overbearing—and the staff made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that were fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented. Every dish came out just right, and it was clear that great care went into both the preparation and presentation. Combined with the wonderful staff and inviting ambiance, dining here felt like a treat from start to finish. Truly a top-notch experience that I would gladly return for again and again. ”
“ This restaurant is located on the street level/ground floor of the London House Chicago hotel. I stayed at this hotel so I found Land & Lake Kitchen to be a convenient breakfast/brunch option after a workout in the hotel gym. I sat at the bar so I didn't have to wait for a table. I ordered the steak & eggs, which was yummy. The restaurant staff is very friendly. It has a great location near the river walk. Recommend. ”
