                                        Really great place to go for a nice romantic dinner. Overlooking the lake is great and adds to the experience. The staff were excellent and did a nice job of recognizing the birthday celebration.

                                        Our meals (Arctic Char, and Ribeye) were both as good as we could have asked for. The service was attentive without being obtrusive, and very responsive as well. When the staff discovered that my now-fiancee had accepted my proposal, changing a birthday dinner into an engagement celebration, they were happy to serve us complimentary Proseco.

                                        A beautifully decorated restaurant with lovely view out over the lake. We were promptly greeted, the service was great, and we loved all of the food that we ordered. We will definitely go again!
