   It was outstanding – what a wonderful place and every member of the staff is friendly and attentive – Julie was our waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and satisfied – but beyond that each server or busser stop by to make sure that our evening was going well and that we were taken care of – you just don’t get that anywhere anymore and that’s why we keep coming back

   Complete tourist trap. Advertised as fine dining and aas connected to a water park hotel and underwhelming food. Entirely too expensive for what you received. Won’t go back

   Music was a little loud at 12:30 lunch time. Hard to hear our conversations

   Food was great. Waiter was great. However, Ordered a ribeye and apparently the box said ribeye, but it was a New York strip. Waiter agreed with me but said he’d check on it. Said it was the third time in a week. Without coming out to talk to me the owner told the waiter “definitely a ribeye, the packers just trim them really neat.” Didn’t come out to discuss at all. Didn’t try to rectify the issue. I’ve cut meat several times and sell food for a living. I know the difference between my steaks and the steak was missing the characteristic ribeye marbling and had the strip that connects the NY Strip to the t-bone.

    The service was horrendous and the food was mediocre. There are better places to eat in Okoboji than this over-priced venue. The only redeeming factor is the view.
