The food was lovely. We had rack of lamb, the ribeye (everyone’s favorite) and the scallops. The lamb was perfectly cooked, albeit a little tough. The scallops were a little underwhelming, portion-wise. The ribeye was the star, a perfect medium rare, with the fat and marbling perfectly rendered. The venue is tastefully decorated, romantic and while big, had plenty of cozy nooks and tables. Our server was kind, attentive and knowledgeable. The four stars are mostly due to how long it took - over 3hrs total, with an hour between appetizers and the main course. That’s unreasonable.

The perfect setting! We enjoyed dinner on the porch and the service that Luke provided was excellent! He was attentive, answered our questions about the menu and was made everyone at our table feel special. The lobster risotto was delicious and the cream brûlée was the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!

We had a terrific dinner - heavy on perfectly prepared steaks, Caesar salads (with extra anchovies!) and an unbelievable wine from one of the most comprehensive (affordable to Bill Gates' level) wine lists in the region. Our server Victor and sommelier Carter were gracious and attentive without being intrusive. We were celebrating a graduation, and they made our daughter feel very welcome and special. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant (and check out the cool bar and lounge area) in a delightful lake-side village.

One of the best meals we’ve had anywhere, ever. We had the gazpacho, Krebs salad, Wagyu steak special and Flounder special. Everything was delicious. The seasonal menu was just perfect for a warm June evening. The service was excellent, as it always is at this establishment. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the night.

Beautiful venue. Great bar. Menu lacks vegetarian or vegan options. Entrees do not include sides. Main courses are on the smaller size and pricey. Would return special occasions but without vegetarian options (the only option is a risotto) it’s a hard place to make a regular spot.
