   Nice spot with pleasant view. Make sure to get a table with a lake view or you are overpaying for it.

   Food and service is top notch - Fun friendly staff - Isaiah would be at one side of the restaurant and in 2 seconds he would be at the opposite side - Extremely efficient - The bartender (forgot her name) was terrific - The always friendly Julie also always has positive energy - Great food, excellent service and friendly faces makes for the perfect and relaxing dining experience

   We went for my husband’s birthday. He ordered the prime rib special, medium rare. We were told there were 3 pieces left that were more medium than rare. He said that was ok. What he was served was a well done end piece. For $40. Disappointing.

   Hi Beth, thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our prime rib during your visit. Unfortunately, we did run out of prime rib that evening and apologize for that. We appreciate your business! Please let your server know if you ever have any concerns with your meal and we will be more than happy to do what we can to accommodate.

   We had a reservation for 8pm. We were led to the bar area to be seated. We asked to be seated elsewhere, and were soon seated at a table very shortly. We appreciated the effort to accommodate our request. Dinner was very nice, although the note I entered on Open Table for The Waterfront to start us with a bottle of champagne for our 49th wedding anniversary dinner was apparently not conveyed, no mention if it occurred. Generally, a very nice dinner with very fine serving.

   Pleasant server, good hot food, nice atmosphere. It was very busy and they handled it well, did not appear stressed. Our food was served in a timely manner. Petite filet was excellent.

   Had a great late birthday dinner early Saturday night there. Server was new; however, did a great job of going and asking for clarification on questions that he did not know the answer to. All of the food came out at the right temperatures, steak was a touch over but nothing to complain about. Food quality was outstanding, bang bang sauce for the Brussel's and the Lemon Cake were the highlights. Also he did a good job opening a bottle of wine, for a new guy, as I am sure that can be a little nerve racking. Overall great dinner, pace was perfect, server did a great job and will be extremely strong with some more experience - but ultimately was very friendly and accommodating. Can't ask for much more.
