  • Josh Shook★★★★★8 months ago

    First time visiting this establishment. Our server was fantastic and so helpful, the food was flavorful and fresh, and despite their busy Sunday afternoon the turnaround to receive our meal wasn't bad at all. The holiday decorations, the fire place, and the snow coated lake view made the entire occasion very cozy. I'm pretty sure we'll be back soon.

  • Marianne Y. Kordas★★★★★4 months ago

    Cozy place with a great view of the lake. Patio for summer dining on the waterfront. Convenient, clean bathrooms. First time visiting, but I hope to be back soon. My quinoa burger was good, and the seasoned home cut fries 10/10. My hubby enjoyed the tortellini, adding plant based “chicken” as his protein. We both savored our scrumptious desserts — just right cheesecake with caramel sauce for him, exquisite carrot cake with ginger frosting for me. We came, we ate, we left no crumbs!

  • Lynn Carradine-Hailey★★★★★a month ago

    Phenomenal food and experience. Great service with unbelievable views. Had such a great experience that we went back 2 days later!

  • Andrew Garvin★★★★★2 months ago

    Wow! Pomegranate Salmon and Sunset Shrimp were one of the best meals we have ever had. Such a delight! Service was fantastic!

  • Brendan Odonnell★★★★★a month ago

    What a great seafood place at reasonable prices! Shrimp po boy was so fresh, and the kettle chips are a great option to the fries. Wife had the French onion soup and the fig and gorgonzola flatbread, which were both delicious. Service was fast and our server was excellent at managing multiple tables. Great view of the water from any seat. Definitely coming back…
