★★★★☆ 4.0 Anjelika M · Aug 2025

A lovely little restaurant by the water with a nice outdoor atmosphere, but all the tables outside were taken so we sat inside. Service was great – the staff works fast and are very friendly. Overall, the food was good, I’d give it a solid four stars. I especially loved the Eggplant Tower – highly recommend, it was really delicious! The burger was a bit on the dry side; I ordered it with lettuce instead of bread. Overall, a pleasant spot, worth coming back.

The restaurant is large, it has outdoor & indoor seating, as well as a bar area. Unfortunately the outdoor seating doesn't really have a direct view of Lake Paupack. We sat inside at a large booth. They have a full cocktail menu. The women sitting behind us ordered a pumpkin cocktail. Their menus is big, lots to choose from. Appetizers included wings, eggplant stack and more. Entrees include salads, soup, burgers, and full entrees. My aunt had the eggplant stack and liked it. I had ahi tuna on salad, the tuna was fresh, delicious and came with a homemade ginger dressing. My uncle enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana served on a large bed of spaghetti. The serving was quite large The service was good.

tried to order take out the girl on the phone was rude when she was the one responsible for the choppy call so we came out to eat. My boyfriend and I were waiting 15 minutes for service when it wasn’t even busy waiting another five for drinks, waited even longer to even had our order taken, out of at least 3 choices, appetizers were the only thing that was good my boyfriend got the boneless wings that were hard and didn’t come with celery, was told i would have to wait for my steak because they are out of mashed potatoes ended up being told it would be another 30 so subbed with fries, the steak was inedible no flavor more burnt then steak and i ordered it medium. The chef’s vegetable was undercooked and we waited forever for our server to come back and ask if everything was good, our serve

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jillian Cuzzolino · Oct 2025

The spinach ricotta ravioli was fine. The bitterness of the cooked spinach seeped into the basil pesto sauce which ruined the flavor of the tomatoes. There was a weird after taste when eating the ravioli by itself. The crab stuffed flounder was also okay but the rice was watery and undercooked. The atmosphere was fine even though it was mostly empty. Everything was fine - nobody did anything wrong and all food was edible. The quality of the food however was disappointing, especially considering the price. This food was worse quality and higher price than the diner.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Joseph Cerverizzo · Aug 2025

I’ve never written a review in my life but felt so compelled to this time. Dirty, and extremely cheap silverware. Ripped booth seats covered with tape. Tables seem to be just refinished and you can unintentionally take the finish off if you’re not careful. Bar menu, ridiculously expensive. You can get cheaper drinks at the local casinos. Didn’t have a bunch of the beers on the menu. Misspellings all over the menu, an elementary school child could have written it better, not a joke. Anyway, settled for a Heineken, I’m delivered a somewhat cold bottle with no glass, interesting. During dinner asked for another and I had to ask the waitress to clear the empty bottle off the table. They apparently got rid of their iconic salad & dressing. No bread. Laughable. I got the Swordfish Margarita.
