The food was reasonably priced & tasted good. Our server was polite & prompted. I has a reservation & we were able to get seated half a hour before our reservation (which was great) I'll definitely return. I really loved the lake that was on the side of the restaurant.

We had never dined there and just wanted a different experience. Entrees were ok. I ordered blackened shrimp creole but the shrimp were not blackened. Dish itself was average. Didn’t complain because all other entrees were served. My wife’s crab cake was burned on the bottom. Cocktails there are cheap pours at an expensive price. Not worth the money. $13 for a martini that is half a small martini glass. Would not recommend this place. Sax player was good.

Made reservations at 7:30 on a Saturday. We were seated quickly but not a waitress/waiter or any employee stopped by to say hello; or that someone will be with you soon. There were folks across and behind us with food. We left after 10 minutes. Very disappointing.
