1878 on the Lake

Known For
Lakeside tables with an unobstructed view worth arriving early for
1878 on the Lake puts its outdoor seating to full use with garden vibes and bright sightlines straight to the water. It's an instagrammable setup that earns its aesthetics through the actual view, not just the decor.
🕐Best time to visit: Summer Sunday mornings when the water is still
Our Take
1878 on the Lake earns its name from the historic lakeside property it occupies — the kind of setting where outdoor garden seating and bright interiors make even an ordinary meal feel like a little occasion. It's a pleasant brunch stop with good bones, though it leans more on atmosphere than on truly transcendent food.
