                                        What a fantastic spot to enjoy a light lunch on a sunny summer day with our friends. We were able to sit out on the deck overlooking the lake and watch young people enjoying themselves on the beach. The food was excellent and at very reasonable prices. Great menu choices from light to more substantial. Thank you!!
