I don't often leave negative ratings but I wish I had known before going to lake Inez. I have no idea how this place has such high ratings. I've been wanting to come here for a while based on the reviews alone. It was honestly the worst meal I've had in a very long time.
Pros:
1)The mural on the wall is lovely and the place looks nice.
2) It wasn't that busy on a Wednesday night and we were able to get a seat right away.
3) The crunch on top of the wontons.
Cons:
1) The food. It was dreadful! The deviled eggs didn't have a nice taste at all, it just tasted like sriracha. The sauce on the beef cheek wontons was not tasty at all and rather bitter, the eggplant was not enjoyable in anyway it tasted like fish food (even the server confirmed that a lot of people said that - why then is it still on the tiny menu?), and the cauliflower was actually inedible I couldn't finish eating more than one piece!
2) The service. When the servers were actually on the floor were nice enough, but that's if we could find them. They didn't say anything when they noticed that we didn't have more than a bite or two of our dishes, and definitely didn't take it off the bill.
3) The price. I don't mind paying for good food, but $6 for 1 egg? I would have loved to try the curry but almost $30 for a bowl of curry seemed pretty steep, and after trying the apps I'm grateful that I didn't spend more money . If it was delicious I would have no problem paying that amount but not for the quality of food! It shouldn't cost $80 for 4 appetizers and 1 cocktail for food that is mostly inedible.
4) The music. It was depressing and creepy sounding.
My friend and I ended up going out for food after because we were still hungry and couldn't end the night with a terrible taste in our mouths!
Don't waste your time or money. Go elsewhere.
