Dining At The Lake of Dreams
While free views are always appreciated, reserving a seat with a good view at least once is worth every penny you’ll spend on the meal! Lake view seating is in high demand with a limited number of seats available, so restaurant reservations fill up quickly.
SW Steakhouse
SW Steakhouse is an American steakhouse specializing in prime-aged steaks and a curated selection of Wagyu. The menu includes Japanese and American Wagyu and non-steak entrees like the pan-roasted sea scallops.
