    Manhattan Beach was awesome. Service was outstanding, even though our waiter was in training. We will be back we love this place. Just wish the Live music would've gone past 4pm on Sunday.

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you had a great time in Manhattan Beach and that our service stood out—even with a trainee on deck! We’ll be sure to pass along the praise. We hear you on the live music—nothing beats good tunes by the lake! Can’t wait to welcome you back soon! 🌴🎶

    I had the chicken picatta, and the risotto was totally undercooked. It was crunchy. The flavors were good and the chicken was perfectly cooked, but it was a bit too rich for me to eat much. We also ordered the sriracha bourbon Brussels sprouts. Again, the flavors were good, but the sprouts were a little undercooked and hard to cut through. A couple of them were downright hard. The server seemed great at first, but then she seemed to go MIA. I had to go to the bar to order a drink and then she emerged from the kitchen. We were one of only two tables in the restaurant, and the busier patio seemed to have its own servers, so I have no idea why ours was so inattentive. The views were amazing, and we were there for sunset. We were able to take our drinks to the dock, where we sat and watched the sunset. That made the whole experience worthwhile.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Sounds like your evening was a mix of hits, near-misses, and a beautiful sunset save! We’re thrilled to hear the chicken picatta and brussels sprouts had flavors worth mentioning; even if the textures didn’t quite rise to the occasion. Crunchy risotto? Definitely not what we were going for. As for the service—ouch! That’s not the experience we aim for. We’re genuinely sorry your server wasn’t present through your entire experience. We’ll be reviewing what happened during your visit so we can ensure our team is present and helpful. We’re glad the sunset brought the moment full circle—there’s just something about that golden hour glow that forgives a lot. We’d love the chance to wow you from start to finish next time.

    Our server was great but the food was just ok. 2 of us had the walleye and 2 had coconut shrimp. We have gotten the walleye her before and it was good. This time both of us thought it wasn’t good at all and only ate about a fourth of the filet. For the price definitely not worth it. Coconut shrimp was just ok. They said they would not order it again. We will have to think twice before we come back

    Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad to hear your server took good care of you — we’ll be sure to pass that along. We’re genuinely disappointed to hear the food didn’t meet expectations this time, especially since you’ve enjoyed the walleye before. We always aim for consistency and quality, so it’s frustrating to hear we missed the mark — and trust us, we’re not thrilled about that either. As for the coconut shrimp, we hear you. Not every dish is a hit for everyone, but “just ok” isn’t what we’re going for. We hope you’ll give us another shot down the road — we’d love the chance to get it right.

    Food was surprisingly good. The Parmeghan/Garlic Brussel Sprouts Appetizer that we ate with dinner was the best we ever had. Service was very good given that they seemed understaffed. Wait staff as friendly but could have used help. Drinks were excellent and sunset on the patio in front of the lake was everything we had hoped it would be. The meat was quality and very well prepared. The duck Wontons were special.

    Absolutely the best spot on whitefish lake, especially for the picturesque sunsets! Can’t beat steak special on Wednesdays. Glad it’s almost summer and looking forward to many lunches and dinners there.

    For this establishment to be one of the most upscale options in the area, I think it's reasonable to expect at least average service. Unfortunately, our service was poor and took far too long at all stages of the evening. It was a Saturday night, and the restaurant was far from packed. If the issue is not enough kitchen or wait staff, hire more staff, especially to be ready to go for the most desirable dining time of the week.

    Matthew, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially when it comes to the level of service you deserve. We appreciate your honest comments and are actively working to ensure we are fully staffed and properly prepared for our busiest times. Your experience is not reflective of the standard we aim to provide, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back and offer a better experience in the future.
