    My husband had 1/2 doz jolly oysters, Caesar salad, and blue catfish. He raved about the oysters and really enjoyed the catfish. We shared a shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were huge and delicious. I had potato leak which was good bit not excellent; a very good Caesar salad and I had the lobster ravioli appetizer for my dinner. It was very good, we shared a chocolate creme brulee for dessert and each had a cup of decaf coffee. We did not have a beverage with our meal. The bill came to $125 + tip. A big splurge for us but we had a gift card. We had a great time. Our server was very attentive and the atmosphere was great.

    Quality of food is very high - the seafood chowder was simply delicious. Caesar salad was perfectly dressed. Really enjoyed our lunch here as well the gorgeous view of the lake. Staff were attentive and friendly and provided excellent service.

    Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. We went mainly for the oyster bar specialty. We were disappointed - a third of the oysters we ordered were the barely the size of a quarter. Otherwise the food we ordered was delicious!

    Oysters were excellent and entrees were very good as well. Very nice signature drinks, but they were a little on the small side for what they cost.

    We were sat at a table for two so tiny our drinks and apps didn’t fit. The dirty martini ordered was only half of the glass. The specialty elderflower cocktail was overly sweet. The oysters were excellent. The burnt ends came with refrigerator cold fried onions. Not heated up . The catfish dinner was supposed to be over bok choy but was instead presented on a bed of red peppers and cooked cucumbers. A truly disappointing dinner
