I have lived in the area for 20 years and had never been in the Lakeview, but decided to give it a try and take my mother there for their advertised Friday night "fish fry". She called in advance to verify the serving hours etc.
Not knowing the building, we drove through both entrances/parking lots before deciding to park and go in the rear "barn/function room" door, which was locked. So we traversed the walkway to the door facing the street, we could see tables through the windows, but again the door was locked. Around, on foot again, to the far side near the rooms labeled "office", and there we did find an unlocked door and a small vestibule, restaurant to the left and front desk to the right. Not a soul in sight. Dark. "Early American". Depressing.
We went to Wolfetrap and had lovely fried seafood.
