Filomena Lakeview Inn - Deptford

This is one of our favorite dining spots near our home. The service is always exceptional and the food is delicious. I appreciate that they provide ample bread and peppers. I usually start with the Octopus salad as an appetizer and then enjoy the Brozino for dinner. These are two things that draw me to a restaurant. I have never been disappointed with any of the food here. Thank you.

The food at this restaurant was amazing! We started with delicious Brussel sprouts and burrata. The house salad dressing was fantastic. The tortellini and scallop meal was incredibly good.

I visited Filomena Lakeview Inn at around 4:30 on Monday, Feb. 27th. The waiter initially brought two menus and a lunch special menu. I requested another lunch special menu as I was meeting a friend, but he informed me they only had 10 per section. Despite the restaurant not being busy, he eventually agreed to bring one. In the end, we decided to order from the main menu. I opted for the mustard seed crusted salmon priced at $29. I had considered the crab cakes, which I believe were $39, but the waiter mentioned that they came with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. When I asked if I could substitute the mixed veggies for mashed potatoes and spinach, he stated that there would be an additional $5 charge for the spinach. I was taken aback by this and ultimately chose the salmon. The snarky attitude of the waiter and the $5 upcharge for spinach left a sour taste in my mouth. Despite having recommended Filomena Lakeview Inn in the past, my experience today has left me disappointed.

Service was excellent and so was our dinner. Nice atmosphere, I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Food was a little cold so that’s why I didn’t give it a higher rating. Also, the salad portion was skimpy.
