    Absolutely loved this restaurant. The atmosphere is fun and the music they have playing is the best, older songs of the past that really give you a way to escape and enjoy especially after a day of work! My niece and I had the fish dinners, the fish piccata and the lake fish special, both were outstanding, flavorful and prepared extremely well, appetizers were good large portions and almost filling as a meal, we had the mussels and the calamari and both were exceptional. The bread, oil & cheese starter was very tasty and a great way to start your dinner with a cocktail. People were very friendly from the start, front door hostess greeted you with a smile and a very warm welcome. Our server, Austin, was outstanding, very friendly, gave us great suggestions, very attentive and a great server. I highly recommend this restaurant!
