My wife found this while searching on google for someplace to eat near Appleton City. When I saw where the map said it was located I had my doubts this place even existed. Sure enough there was a restaurant out in the middle of nowhere on a gravel road by a lake. We ordered a chefs type salad, a tenderloin sandwich and some kind of big fancy pull pork nachos. We were pleasantly surprised when the nachos came out. They were covered in all kinds of goodies and were delicious. We will be coming back for more of those. The tenderloin was good but I’ve been spoiled by the best so I wasn’t overly thrilled with it. The salad was great although my mom said the croutons were to hard to eat. We finished the trip with home made ice cream in waffle cones and that was the highlight. The decor was grea

Actually the food is quite good! Fresh! Honest! Okay it’s a slightly limited menu, but great for the area! The staff and owner are gracious and the place itself is a delightful fun experience. There is also a nice venue for those large parties and weddings. The place is overlooking a lovely lake with a walk about bridge and natural surroundings. Take in the art, or wander the gift shop! Sip wine or a cocktail by the bar, or sit on the patio overlooking the lake. Just want a sandwich or ice cream with the kids? Because the restaurant has two sides with deck access, families can be happy and have fun too!

The food and experience was awesome! The special was cashew chicken and it was the best cashew chicken I’ve had. Keep up the great work!

The Food!!! Was amazing 👌🏼 I feel like the portions were closer to the portions you SHOULD be eating rather than what you want (an unessecary pile of food) Portions 👌🏼 The Service was amazing, I had no idea until we left that the gal that had been our waitress was the owner or "1 of them" and not only was her attitude outstanding but, the overall patience and kindness she showed my family was truly amazing. (I brought my Wife, 1 y.o Baby, and 4 daughters and they all had a blast and asked begged to go back before we even left the parking lot. Atmosphere! AMAZING!!! A beautiful place, ran by lovely people. Can't wait to return. And there really isn't a group that I could see not enjoying this place. Family, Business, Pleasure. I believe anybody would enjoy this place. Price was amazing by
