Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Rose Arlene · Mar 2026

The food was good, pricey, but good. The building beautiful, even if the christmas decor was still up in March. You definitely pay for the view here. We did wait a while to be served after seating, as the wait staff were also the bar tenders. Make reservations as it is a very busy place.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Valeria Escrich · Jan 2025

I’d dare to say it’s the best restaurant in the area. Excellent food and portions. The service was very good. Despite having available tables, we were seated near the bar and the door, so we couldn’t enjoy the view or the Christmas decorations.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tiffany Brown · Jun 2025

We had a reservation, got in quick with no problem. Asked for our choice seating, which was accommodated without haste. Food was delicious, drinks were spot on. Absolutely will visit again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Deepnath Majumder · Dec 2024

Great atmosphere and views! We were served by Holly; she was very humble and hospitable. We tried the kung pao cauliflower, the buttermilk pancakes, and the french onion soup. All three items were delicious. The prices were very decent as well and we were served with good portions.

★★★★★ 5.0 Traveling Cosmos and Tacos · Jun 2024

Thunderstorms forced us inside but we still had a view of the lake. The area is beautiful. There’s an overflow parking lot across the street, and a row of Adirondak chairs facing the lake off to the side. The restaurant was very nice inside. The food and drink menu had a very nice selection. Will be back again during nicer weather so I can enjoy outdoor dining. My favorite appetizers were the calamari and cauliflower. My table also ordered Greek salad, ribs and fish & chips. Everyone enjoyed their food.
