I was really concerned about going to lakeview as they are one of the few restaurants at The Heritage without the word "grill" in their name but a very prominent grill in their menu. Also they are not really in view of the lake... so false advertising.
The service was good and the staff were attentive and polite. I went as a party of three and we sampled three different areas of the menu. We had Chicken Beryani, Filet Steak, and Shish Taouk. For drinks, I braved their ice lemon tea, the others drank coke.
The iced tea looks weird but it had a nice balance of tea and sweetness.
Chicken beriyani smelled divine with a nice blend of spices and fragrance
The filet steak was substandard at best. Ordered medium it came on the wellest end of well done and was tough and chewy. The saving grace of this steak was that it was very well seasoned and very reasonably priced for the portion size. The grilled vegetables were very oily and are recommended to be skipped.
Shish taouk was grilled perfectly and served with the same sides as the steak except for the sauce which was a small garlic sauce. The sauce was ok and modestly flavourful. Most impressive is that this dish goes for a seal-clobberingly low price of RM 12.
The bottom line
If you find yourself at The Heritage or Mines area and are in the mood for some casual western type fare for a low price check out the Lakeview Cafe. You can't really view the lake but in the end that doesn't matter that much.
one day ..one day! ha ha ..by the way I like the words you used to describe the dishes! :)
