    It was our 37 anniversary and we thought this was going to be a nice dinner, it was anything but. They had no steak, so the menu was even more diminished. The seared ahi was a very poor cut of fish, so tough to chew and cut. The service was fair at best and the entire place needs repair. Overall, I would definitely NOT recommend

    We had the best service and food in awhile. This bar has a beautiful view of the lake. The ambiance is quiet and romantic. We had the deep fried sushi bite,chicken wontons and calamari. All were freshly made and very tasty. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

    The most romantic spot with a view I’ve ever eaten at. Right by the water after sunset was perfect for date night. Very secluded spot. The inside was cute and spacious. The staff were lovely and nice and very attentive. The menu was small but honestly I would eat everything on the menu especially with how affordable the items were. We even had the cucumber martini it was very refreshing I’d take a double. All in all would come back multiple times.

    Took 10 minutes to seat us after tour reservation time. One staff member taking care of tables and drinks. 20 minutes to receive a glass of wine and 40 minutes to receive food… which had a staff member’s hair in it. I returned the dish and was turned off and could not eat anything else in this establishment. Also silverware looked dirty and was unpolished. Waitress was inattentive and I tracked her down for water refill to find her chatting away with a friend… after staring 15 minutes prior that she’d get us water refills. Terrible service and extremely unprofessional.

    We went for Happy Hour and had a great time. Most of us ordered Mahi Mahi Tacos, roasted brussel sprouts and red wine. All were delicious. The service was excellent, and the view was beautiful. The ambiance is inviting, and the restaurant is cozy.
