The staff was very friendly and accommodating for our group of 8. The food was delicious and didn’t take too long to be served to us. We loved sitting outside and watching the sun slowly go down on the water.

Food was mediocre. Mostly comfort food with lots of fried food. No real light summer options.

Great place to eat if you're not in a rush. Food was excellent, servers were friendly and helpful. Nice view of sunset on the lake. We tried the asparagus fries, sour-dough bread appetizer, fish and chips, and Kale salad. All items were very tasty and I would order them again for sure.

Sadly, the service wasn’t great. We ordered appetizers and lunch and waited over an hour for any food to arrive. Server didn’t come to the table to offer any explanation or see if we needed anything. We finally went to bar to try and see if food was coming as we were ready to walk out. When food finally came, we were underwhelmed. Salad was like soup-soggy and swimming in dressing. Other food just fine.

Our server was excellent. We waited over 1.5 hrs for food and they were out of multiple items. Also they advertised brunch, we arrived and they stated they stopped serving their brunch menu a week ago. Food was not good

Made reservations a week in advance on OT, checked in at restaurant to confirm my reservation early in the day and was told they don't accept reservations on the weekend! I already had an accepted reservation!

Two mistakes on our orders (ordered salad without onions and exchanged fries for fruit with the burger, neither were correct), and the fish in the fish & chips was cold and chewy. The corrected salad didn’t show up until others were almost done with their meals. The view is nice here, but the food, even after corrected, was just awful, not even bar-food worthy.
