Welcome to the Lakehouse Inn Bistro & Lounge. If you enjoy wonderful American Bistro food, then this is the place for you. Our menu features fresh, flavorful food using the finest ingredients. The bar and restaurant feature fresh produce, fine Lake County wines, favorite and specialty beers, and your favorite drinks. Plus special Lamplighter drinks you will absolutely love!

For lunch you might enjoy the fun of a Build Your Bistro Burger, or try a Pick your Pasta.  And of course we feature mouth-watering sandwiches, salads, and soups.

If you are arriving by boat, just pull up to our dock and come on up. But if you want to stay on the water, then just call in your order from our Dock to Deck© menu. We’ll have it ready for you when you pull in. And of course you can always pull up dockside and give our Dock & Deck server your order.

For dinner our menu features some of your favorite dishes—and a few specialties of our own. Our goal is to let you relax and enjoy yourself, whether as an escape from your own kitchen or to commemorate a special occasion. Remember, generations of Clearlake residents have made the Lamplighter Restaurant & Bar THE place to go to celebrate the beauty of the Lake.

We felt it a privilege to restore The Lakehouse Inn and return it to it’s previous glory as THE place to go in Clearlake. During restoration of the Lakehouse Bistro & Lounge we were thrilled to find the tiny red, black, gold and white mosaic tiles under the old wood paneling around the fireplace. We hope you’ll enjoy the trip down memory lane sitting near the fireplace enjoying one of our specialty drinks, enjoying a scrumptious meal and relishing the view of spectacular Mt. Konocti across Clear Lake.
