Xplore Lakeside Restaurant

We had an Xcellent experience here. Three of us went to have dinner together. All three of us got something different to eat and LOVED the food. The drinks were good as well. It has a nice atmosphere and view of the lake. It was right down the road from our air bnb. I highly recommend stopping by for a nice dinner.
The prices are on the higher end but you get excellent food and great service, it's worth it.

This place had great service and delicious food. Everything was very fresh and the kids loved the chicken strips. My salad was delicious and it was a nice change of fish since they had corvina. Highly recommend sitting outside to look at the beautiful waterfront view.

I love this place. I've been there 4 times now and everything I've eaten has been fantastic. The staff is wonderful and the sunset view is something to behold. Lovely local eatery!

Lovely spot on the lake with covered patio. The grilled fish sandwich and double chocolate cake were excellent. Our server Michaela was fabulous!

Very good! Had the grilled chicken salad. Super tasty! Staff was friendly and masked. Would recommend!

Super chill. Sat at the bar, got a lobster sandwich and a handmade icecream sandwich. The staff were very attentive.

Food, cocktails and service were all amazing! Michaela was so friendly and I had the best shrimp and grits outside of New Orleans.

My husband and I ate dinner here tonight. Our server, Brooke was great! We shared the fritter appetizer and split the Corvina fish and chips. The food was hot and very good. Happy hour prices on the craft beer was a plus. Another plus was they are dog friendly on the patio! Keep up the good work! We will be back!

Heard mixed reviews on this restaurant and decided to see for ourselves. I got the pork cheeks and my wife got the cheeseburger. Both were simply outstanding. Taste and flavor amazing. Plus we got there before 6pm and got to enjoy happy hour on wine. Service was very good as well. Definitely a new local favorite!

Must be new owners and the place is definitely updated. Great views in pleasant surroundings. One long day of showing Real Estate in the Village will make you want two dinner drinks. Both were excellent. We just had appetizers, but the fried chicken special looked awesome!. I think I'll come up here for dinner sometime just because it was so nice and relaxing....and I'm a Hot Springs girl. Edit...showed property again today looking for that perfect golf home for my Buyer. Went back to Xplore for lunch and had a burger....so good!

Awesome atmosphere. Love sitting on the deck outside overlooking Balboa Lake n Marina n Beachfront. Excellent seafood. Mussels are to die for. I used to live up north and having phenomenal seafood in Arkansas being landlocked is far and few in between.That being said this is a must try place to eat. The scallops are awesome as well.

It was a lovely experience. The lake views were awesome and our waiter Alan was very attentive. My friend and I just had drinks and appetizers one late afternoon and totally enjoyed it. We watched plates of great looking steaks pass by as well.

We have eaten here several times and always had a good experience. Today in particular I have to credit Lathan. He is truly a credit to his profession. The restaurant was packed and he appeared to be the only server on duty. He was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was excellent as always. We expected a longer wait but everything came out relatively quickly and perfectly cooked.

My husband and I both had the redfish Fish and Chips. DELICIOUS! Foods a bit pricey but the specialty beers and wine were only $5! Very clean, our hostess/waitress was very personable and had a great sense of humor! We’ll definitely be back! My husband is picking up our dinner there late this afternoon after golf, actually! Can’t wait for the expanded menu!
I’ll definitely plan our Ladies Neighborhood Luncheon there when it’s my turn!
Thank you!

My husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch last week while house hunting in HSV. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view and yummy food. My husband had the burger and is still talking about how good it was. Our sweet waitress recommended the grilled shrimp on a baguette for me, which I really enjoyed. We will make this place a regular stop once we move to the village.

Definitely one of the best places to dine in the Village. The Cowboy Burger is the best and the view of the lake at sunset is like none other. The staff made the dining experience that much more better. The service staff are literally the happiest individuals you could ever meet and were very amicable and attentive. I profoundly recommend dining at Xplore Lakeside.

What a joy! Looking over the lake, great food and service...a must see!!

We love this place to go have a couple beers and an appetizer! Beautiful view on the deck! Loved the music from the speakers out there and listening to the water splash. Everyone has been friendly. Hubby had the Smoked Mahi Rillette (Smoked Fish Dip ) which was great. Anxious to try more we saw being served! Only been a couple times but know we will be there often!

1st time visit and did the catfish special. Catfish and fries were delicious. Coldslaw was extremely week in taste and flavor - someone needs to find out what it should taste like. Very good selection of tap beers. I'll be back!

My wife and I ate here 11/24 for dinner and loved the food, atmosphere and service. I decided to try it again with my parents two days later for lunch. We all loved it it again. This is my favorite place to go in the village. It has a fun and refreshing vibe with great food!
