★★★★☆ 4.0 Monica Edmonds · Jun 2025

Some dishes were excellent; some not the best. The atmosphere sells the place. Desserts were great: lemon cake and caramel ice cream. Filet Mignon seemed smaller than 6 Oz and slightly over cooked, but the flavor was great. Duckling was good. Brussel sprouts did not seem to have the kick the name suggests. Asparagus was delicious. Chicken Alfredo fettuccine was kid approved.

The view was amazing, I had the fish tacos that were definitely a 10!! I even made my boyfriend try them they were so good! Waitress was very helpful and attentive. Great vibe awesome view!

Really nice place, on the water (of course) and the staff was lively with energy, food was really good. Make a rezzy because it’s a busy place! Large patio on the water but indoors was really pleasant also. Has a large banquet area but they don’t Intersect and noise doesn’t carry over so you can dine and talk and hear.

Loved eating on the patio with the gorgeous lake view. The food was great and exactly what we were looking for. The waitress could’ve been more knowledgeable about certain items being out of stock, but we were satisfied regardless.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dwight Thiemann · Sep 2025

We ate here on 9/29/25. We were staying on property so it was very handy. We asked to be seated outside overlooking the water. There were gnats and a very cute kitten named Garette. Neither was very obtrusive. Our waiter was Benjamin. He was so kind and congenial. Even friendly. Our order was relatively simple...onion rings and a chopped sirloin dinner. Benjamin was so good about the timing of our app, salad and entree. He checked with us often enough to be helpful but not a nag. The onion rings were very good with a relatively light coating. I had read that the wedge salad was delicious, and those reviewers were right! The chopped sirloin was fantastic and huge (16 oz.). It was probably done a little past medium, but it was still very flavorful. The mashed potatoes were amazing! Skin on
