Lake Mohawk Country Club

Just to be clear, I am reviewing my experience as a wedding attendee. I have not been to this country club or the restaurant outside of the wedding I attended last Saturday.
As a wedding attendee, I enjoyed my experience. It was very easy to get here from Jersey City, however, I would be careful at night as there are zero lights on the major roadways/​highways. Anyway, I had a good experience at the wedding. The view is just phenomenal. The lake is gorgeous and having that view in the backdrop added to the beauty of the ceremony.
The food here is pretty good. I had the butternut squash ravioli, the house salad, and the chicken dish. I enjoyed all 3 dishes. I did notice that portions are on the lighter side though. They gave you two pieces of ravioli for the appetizer, two. That’s a bit skimpy. The salad and the chicken dish was perfectly portioned. The filet mignon dish however was very bare boned. You maybe got 4 pieces of meat at best. Don’t get me wrong, that filet mignon was delicious, but it wasn’t enough to fill you up at all.
The service was a bit eh honestly. When we arrived it was nice. Someone was there to greet us and guide us to the destination as we entered into the club. However, during the reception, it was worse. If you weren’t sitting down, they wouldn’t serve you anything. Salad, main course, appetizer, coffee, or cake. Doesn’t matter if they saw you there for one course and you stepped out to go to the bathroom. You’re not getting your next course if you weren’t seated. It wouldn’t be so bad if there were servers walking around making sure everyone was being taken care of. They literally disappear out of the room. After they serve the next course, they are gone until they serve the next. That was a pain to deal with.
Overall, I really enjoyed the food here, but service not so much. Had to ding a star for that. The view is as great as everyone says it is.

My family and I have been there three times this summer. The food is great! Try the mussels when in season and the Quattro formaggio for appetizers. They are keeping the menu small and have learned to do those dishes really well. The Mac and cheese was great and lived up to the reviews… lots of seafood. Crab cakes were good, salad was huge, and even kid’s menu to keep everyone happy. The only comment from my 11 year old was the lemonade but Blake said that she would look into it and she did!
Can’t be the atmosphere and the sight! Welcome to the bubble… aka Lake Mohawk.

I wish I could agree with everyone that this place has a stunning view. but I can’t because I’ve never even seen it. The wedding coordinators are nearly impossible to get in touch with. I’ve never been able to reach them by phone without them calling me back, even once when I missed their call and called back 5 minutes later. When I finally was able to get in touch for a tour, they didn’t actually schedule it. When I called back to confirm the time a few days later (obviously had to leave a message, and was contacted back almost 48 hours later), Blake informed me she didn’t have any record of my appointment at all.
I really wanted to like this place, but if they are this difficult to get in touch with now, I can’t imagine actually having to plan a wedding with them.

It doesn’t even deserve a star. food is always disgusting and service is worse. The wait for everything is ridiculous. Took over ½hr just to get bread for the table. I’ve been here about 10 times and always leave not happy. Sad thing is I’m a member and pay dues to this awful restaurant. Just went last night because my friend wanted to check it out and yet again left feeling gross and embarrassed. We only had one glass of wine because you were only asked once what would like to drink we were there for over an hour and a half and the waitress came to the table twice we ask for water refills and never got them ordered muscles to start and they were very sandy the soup of the day was chicken noodle and it was literally Lipton. Soup mix… tfriend order a salad and was not spectacular I ordered the shrimp and chorizo pasta and the shrimp was bad the smell that came off of that dish was disgusting. Come on serving bad fish!!! what was nice of them to take it off the check BUT I had to go find the waitress to do it because she was on her cell phone I highly recommend not going here if you are invited there are plenty other restaurants in Lake Mohawk which deserve customers and Lake Mohawk Country Club is not one… not sure how hard it is to make a a tasty dish when you make each table with 2 hours before they get their dinner they need to do something!!! It’s embarrassing…

We were invited here by family and I must say, it is in a gorgeous location and the building is remarkable. We had an 8:00 reservation and were seated immediately. The menu is limited but I feel that it is better to do a few dishes very well than to have too many dishes that are average.
For our salad course, I ordered the house salad, which was perfect and the dressing was excellent. The rest of the table ordered Caesar salads. The waitress asked my husband if he wanted anchovies with his, and he said yes. She didn’t ask anyone else, and noone else got any. This was fortunate for everyone else, because on his salad were several 3″ long pieces of anchovy. On top of the lettuce!
He said it was very overpowering. I’d always assumed that the anchovies were in the dressing. This is the only reason not to give 5 stars.
I chose the New York Strip steak topped with glazed onions, mashed potatoes, and sugar snap peas, the others ordered the orecchiette pasta, baked chicken, or the stuffed sole and everyone enjoyed their meals. It was all cooked perfectly. But why are there no prices on the menu? Is it because it’s a members only country club? Is it a fixed price? Is it the old adage, if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it?
On the other hand, the dessert menu has prices! $ 6 to $ 7 for cake, pie, etc. So we can only assume the meals are $ 20 to $ 30. (We didn’t ask our relatives who invited us how much it cost.) Definitely worth a trip back next summer.
The restrooms were spacious and spotless, and there is ample parking.

We were invited out to Lake Mohawk by a friend who lives just across the street from the lake and she had made dinner reservation at the Lake Mohawk Country Club for dinner. Funny, I would have been happy with a simple BBQ, but this ended up so much better… After a very nice, slow boat trip around the lake with a few adult beverages and a stop at Krogh’s for a couple beers we all had a nice buzz going before we even showed up for our reservation. Though we were a few minutes late, they kept our reservation and we were seated immediately by a very nice hostess.
She seated us with our menus and jumped into the drink and food specials. They had some interesting sounding food specials (though no one decided to partake), but what sounded really great were the drinks. My wife had a cucumber gin and tonic that was a) huge and b) absolutely amazing. I never thought of muddling a cucumber in a G&T but it worked. I had a jalapeño margarita. Ummmm HOLY $HIT this was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Seemed to me like it was a regular margarita with a couple slices of jalapeño and either a little muddled jalapeño or some jalapeño juice. It still had the sweet margarita flavor, but it finished with a slight kick in the back of the throat when the jalapeño heat came through. Seriously, this is enough to make me want to come all the way back out here.
As for our meal, we had a very nice dinner. The menu isn’t extensive — which is fine if you do everything great rather than a huge menu where everything is just ok. My wife ordered a burger with fries-​very simple yet very good. A Black Angus Burger topped with oven-​roasted tomatoes, Chevre cheese and roasted garlic aioli on a challah roll. I got to eat half of it and it was done perfectly and the cheese and roasted garlic aioli really gave this burger an interesting flavor. The fries were nothing special, but after our drinks they also hit the spot.
I ordered Chef Jake’s Mac & Cheese… if Chef Jake had come to our table I would have kissed him this was so friggin’ good. They start with Orechiette pasta and put it in a creamy lobster bisque and toss in chunks of lobster and whole shrimp-​big chunks of lobster… then they mix it with melted Gruyère and bake it so the top develops a crisp crust. The whole thing was about as perfect a Mac & Cheese as I could have had anywhere. Again I say HOLY $HIT!
Our hosts shared the Arugula and Spinach salad and the NY Strip… looked delicious as well. After dinner we were stuffed so we got back on the boat and sobered up on the water (our ‘driver’ was, of course, sober while guiding us around the lake and back to her house). What a great night!

I totally forgot to write a review on here after our wedding, but better late than never!
Every time we look back on our wedding, we think about what a beautiful day we had at Lake Mohawk Country Club. To this day, I still look back and think Larry is absolutely wonderful. For our one-​year anniversary he even arranged for the bakery to give us a replica of the top tier of our wedding cake so we could enjoy something fresh and as good as on the day-​of our wedding, instead of year old, freezer burned cake :)
Recommend this venue to anyone looking to have an extra special day in a super romantic setting.

Oh.My.God. Talk about gorgeous.
Nestled in the corner of Lake Mohawk, the gorgeous waterside country club is just a stunning view. The food was phenomenal and everyone working the party I was at was more than helpful and welcoming.
I definitely want to go back. Everyone needs to plan all the things there.

My daughter had her wedding here and I can’t rave enough about it. To anyone who is considering having a wedding here, look no further. This is as good as it gets! Food is FABULOUS, Staff is awesome, the banquet room is gorgeous! The views of the sunset on the lake are amazing. Everywhere you turn there’s a gorgeous photo op. The guests can take a walk on the boardwalk and enjoy the lake views if the music gets too much for them. Our guests are still raving about the food, the venue, the views, the fun! Have you event here… you will not regret it!

I gave this place 1 star because of the beautiful view. Otherwise there is no reason to come here. We waited 3 hrs to get our food!!! When the food finally came I was served a burger without the burger. Just the bun lettuce and tomato. Our waiter was hard to find. We waited over 20 min for water. And when the manager came over she was rude. Outside seating is nice if it weren’t for all the bugs. How bout some bug candles! This place needs all new management and a new menu. The choices are blahh. I do not recommend this place for anything not even a drink of warm water without ice. Wtf!

I always like going to the boardwalk for dinner or lunch. It’s true that the service is usually not great, but after all these years, we know that all the help is seasonal. It’s open for such a short season that I think they really don’t have time to get an excellent staff trained. The menu remains consistent from year to year. We go for the atmosphere and the company of good friends.

Note: The other review attended a wedding here, which is a very different experience from the LMCC restaurant. With that said, LMCC is sadly a place alive in spite of itself, solely because of the stunning location. The services is horrible — we had already eaten and ordered dessert drinks, but the server simply never came back to our table. We spoke to the manager, paid half for the poor food and left. Yes, the view of Lake Mohawk is perfect, which is why it would be the perfect location for a true 5-​star restaurant, year-​round. If you want crunchy pasta, slow or no service and cheap walmart plastic chairs with a great view, this is the place. Too bad.

I attended a wedding here over the weekend and it was quite lovely. The building is right on the lake, so guests could come and go as they pleased, indoors and out, to enjoy the food. Food was delicious and the restrooms were spotless. Very enjoyable experience!
