| - I had heard great things about Lakeview, and upon my first visit, I was initially delighted - open 24 hours, dirt cheap daily drink specials, and a handful of promising vegetarian options. Considering my first visit was at 3am, I was pleased.
I have since come to consider the Lakeview to be an institution of convenience, yet somewhat overrated. It's hip and open all night, but the food and service seem to be consistently...okay. When it comes time to pay my bill, it never really feels like it is worth the price (with the exception of the milk shakes - those are delicious!!).
I've never gone there with the primary intention of "drinking", but if you treat the Lakeview like a bar, you're likely to be satisfied. Cheap pints, wine, caesers, and mimosas daily.
If you're looking for grub at 4am after a night of boozing and dancing, you'd probably eat damn near anything, so I'm sure it'll hit the spot.
If you're looking for a quality meal, there are way better places to get a little more bang for your buck...especially where breakfast is concerned ($9.50 for the standard bacon and eggs - yikes!).
