    The noise was overwhelming and all three of us kept saying if we ate outside we would have enjoyed Summer House much more. Shrimp cocktail excellent. Guacamole excellent. Bucatini with shrimp very good. But, the fish and chips, poor at best. We doubt she seafood was grouper as the filet was cutlet thin, the smell was old fish and it was way over breaded and over fried. Plain old not good. We need to come back to Summer House and try another meal to really evaluate the food.

    Had to wait over 45 minutes for the food. The manager was informed by the server. He came to the table and apologized for the wait and said he would cover our bill. After dinner we were also given a gift certificate for our next visit. The food was good and the prices reasonable. The restaurant was somewhat crowded by noticed others arriving after us were getting served their meals. The action taken by the manager made the experience better and we would return again and recommend this restaurant to friends.

    The ambiance out on the patio overlooking the lake was very nice and the cookies they had in the store were good, however other than that there is nothing to return for. Food was not good at all and terrible value for the money. The cheeseburger for 20 was miniscule and about half the size you get at Wendy's for a kids meal. Was mostly bread and the fries were dry and cold. I had the Brussel sprout salad with grilled chicken for 30 which was fair at best. Service was fair at best. Don't know what else to say but we enjoyed looking at the lake and that's about it. Much prefer Another restaurant there such as Enzos hideaway or other. Was a waste and we were looking forward to it

    Everything was delicious, but don’t go on a holiday if you expect to hear your table mates!

    Wonderful ambience! The food is eclectic and delicious—don’t miss the jalapeño cornbread! Our server was personable and excellent. This was my second time here and I will definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone!

    I’ve been here before and it was wonderful. Maybe too crowded on Christmas Day. Our server was very nice. Food was good but not great. There was an “oopsie” in the kitchen and our meals had to be remade. We waited for a very long time. The people at the table next to us got their food just after we were seated and we didn’t get our food until after they had dessert, went to the restroom and left. Kind of disappointed.
