    The salads were so fresh and delicious. I loved the bourbon sweet carrots, and grilled asparagus. I did not order meat, but I tried my husband’s pork chop, it was absolutely perfect!!! My husband also ordered dessert and it was amazing. The other couple with us said their food was outstanding!!! We will return in the Spring to enjoy another one of your wonderful meals and sit outdoors! Our waitress was very attentive. I wished I had remembered her name. This was our third trip there and the consistency of great food will keep us coming back. Thanks again!

    Our family of four--boys 12 and 8--all loved the meals we chose at our first visit to the Wake Club! It was a quiet, Friday night because we were there early--around 5:30, and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. The chef came out after we'd had a chance to eat some of our food and asked if we were happy with everything. We will definitely be back because of the food, service, and atmosphere. We sat out on the porch and got to watch the sun set over Kentucky Lake. Just a great, overall experience.

    The food and staff at the Wake Club was incredible. My fiancé and I met my friend and his wife at the Wake club for dinner. I ordered the blackened catfish and and truly enjoyed the food. we all enjoyed what we ordered and they had some amazing special drinks on the menu. Unfortunately in the middle of the meal my friend's wife had a medical emergency (not due to the food) and an ambulance had to be called. The staff and management jumped in immediately to help and assist with anything we needed and to ensure the comfort of our friend.. The offered to box up all our food and even comped the meal. After a night in the ER my fiancé and I returned the next evening and enjoyed another great meal. That day before returning we were contacted by the owners to ensure our friend was ok and offered different accommodations if the were needed for the comfort of our friend. I couldn't have asked for a better meal and better treatment in any establishment
