| About: | Lakeview House on Orange Lake, formerly O'Malleys, first opened its door in 1899 when a grand amusement park was located nearby and the trolley made trips from Newburgh to Walden. The restaurant holds the distinction of being granted the first liquor licensed issued in Orange County and the original #1 copy still hangs over the bar. In the early days the trolley made connections with the ferry and other boats as well as the railroad stations in the surrounding countryside. Local people arrived by horse and carriage and later motorcar. In the advertisements Orange Lake was noted as the playground of eastern New York 800 feet above sea level. Guests were promised a day in the country culminating with a beautiful sunset over Orange Lake. After World War II the trolleys and the amusement park were gone but O'Malley's hospitality continued. Mickey Spillane enjoyed spending time here during the months he lives in a tent and constructed his own home. At Lakeview House we pledge to continue the same kind of service that made this restaurant noteworthy in the past and makes it a memorable dining experience in the present. |

The Lake View House is a little off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. We have been going to Lake View for many years, and it has been consistently excellent. The basic menu is inventive, especially for the area, then there are always great specials to choose from each day. The soups are phenomenal, different and delicious, and if you like French onion soup, it is the best in the valley. During the day, especially around sunset, the views of the lake are really breathtaking. It is the type of restaurant you can take visitors, or good friends and know that everyone is going to be happy and satisfied. If you have a chance to eat at Lake View House, don't pass it up.
