The Cleat Restaurant

What a great dinner we had. Atmosphere is perfect, Dave is back with some old favorites! So exciting especially for boating season. We love being able to boat over and have some great margaritas and chips and salsa! Staff was on point thank you for being open and CHEERS on an excellent 2026! The Kings!

Super friendly restaurant with great food! Our server Mario C. from Romania was FABULOUS! I had chicken enchiladas 😋 with rice and beans, phenomenal. My husband had ground beef tacos, again phenomenal! Hubby had spotted cow on tap and I had a apple cider float, very yummy. We loved it sooo much going back again tonight to try something else.

Glad to see a former bar tender at JJ’s take over this place. We had some Mexican food and a flounder sandwich which was fantastic! Vicki was very kind and attentive. Margaritas were also very good.

It’s painfully obvious that no one working here has the slightest interest in providing good service, or any service, really. The level of effort from the staff

I was so excited to try Cleat, but the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. When we arrived, we stood at the hostess station for a bit before anyone acknowledged us. The hostess finally came, but she seated my party and another party at the exact same time. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I know the hostess makes the first impression—and seating two parties at once felt awkward and impersonal. There was no greeting, no “Hi, how are you?” or even a simple “Welcome.” Instead, the hostess stopped to talk to people at other tables while seating both groups. Not a great start. Once we were seated, we sat for 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. No waters were brought to the table, no “I’ll be with you shortly,” absolutely nothing. Finally, our ser
