In my never-ending search for alfresco water-side dining on a Connecticut summer evening, I ended up at the Lake House in Seymour along Route 34 by Lake Housatonic.

We sat outside on the deck whose retractable roof was open so we could enjoy the fresh air. The loaded nachos hit the spot for nibbling as we watched the sun disappear… The chef interspersed beef chili, shredded cheese, sliced black olives and diced fresh tomatoes between layers of chips before heating to melt the cheese so most all chips wee covered. The nachos are served with a side salad plus jalapenos, sour cream and a salsa, just spicy enough to have a slight kick ($10) … too big for one person.

When I perused the menu, I knew exactly what my cousin would order and I was right: Coconut Shrimp ($19) with five coconut-crusted deep-fried large shrimp with orange marmalade over fruit-studded rice.

My simple Caesar salad ($11) topped with grilled chicken was even too much after indulging in the nachos.

The Lake House is  perfect place to enjoy a summer evening and get a light bite.
