50 Boat Regatta and race committee abandons the races for the day at 2:30 pm. What a waste of time...and plenty of breeze by 315 pm...

Spent the afternoon with family on the water. Nice stop for a birthday lunch. Great service. Beautiful views of the Yacht Club and the marina. The red snapper, fish and chips and chicken quesadillas are delicious. If you are lucky enough to know a member, they also have a delicious Sunday brunch.

This review is solely based on the dining room- I've been coming here for 19 years and I love Lakewood Yacht Club! The new chef is really good and the new menu is fantastic. I really like the Cobb Salad (see photo) but it doesn't have a lot of lettuce to it. I also get it without egg or blue cheese so those aren't in the photo. The sweet potato fries are really good too. We also got the shrimp and chips as well as a wedge salad--which is a meal in itself. The service is great and some of the servers and wait staff have been there ever since I was a kid.

I attended a charity cocktail function there. Our very limited bar set up was not ready. We went to the open lounge and were evicted in no uncertain terms by one of the staff. We received a lot of attention from others at tables around us. We did not receive advice on our event tickets that there would be off limit areas in the building or by any staff member greeting us as we arrived. Remember, we didn't walk in randomly, we were guests of a function and a member is part of this particular charitable event. I organize a few social opportunities and would never consider booking this venue
