    Ordered the blueberry pistachios nut blintz got the strawberry blintz, which was good. Was too hungry to have them correct the order. The French dip was excellent. Originally wanted to sit outside but no shade or umbrellas. Finally someone left in 1 of 2 small shaded area. Overheard another waitress telling some ladies she can bring an umbrella over, we weren’t offered that 😢 Mentioned on opentable it was our 29th anniversary not even a congratulations. First time there kinda was disappointed with overall experience. Will try them again maybe for dinner, hopefully it be better

    Beautiful location especially outside day or particularly at night. Small menu but excellent food. Drinks a bit overpriced. I think it would be a great idea for the restuarant to have its own pontoon boat and offer sunset tours before dinner to guests.

    I will never visit this restaurant again. We arrived 30 minutes prior to reservation time, and were happy to wait at the bar for our requested table. No one ever came to show us to our table, we had to ask. When finally seated, we ordered, waited 45 minutes for the food (my friend is diabetic) and 5 minutes before the kitchen was to close, we were brought someone else’s order. When we expressed frustration to the staff we were told they were just very busy in the kitchen. The place was literally almost empty! We ended up walking out.

    Considering it was Fathers Day, we expected it to be busy. Like most places they were lacking help, but I must say Jasmine our server did an outstanding job. The food presentation was very nice. I had lox’s delicious. My husband had the Melange Benedict. Not his cup of tea, he would not order it again. It was just different. I would go back again, sitting outdoors would be better but it was too hot.

    The waitress seemed upset that we were there at 1:45.(that is the time we had our reservation) She was very rude to us, she even told the hostess that they are closed … in front of us. She told us that the kitchen was closing in two mins so I must order right away. Which I did, then it took 50 mins for us to receive our food. We had to get up to get our own umbrella for shade, ask for water refill, ask when our food was coming, ask for the check and to-go boxes. The service was not good because our reservation was so close to closing time… which we didn’t know that. I do not believe they should have treated us so badly for it. Otherwise the food was great and the restaurant is beautiful.

    The restaurant is situated on the Lake and lovely (you walk through a small bar to the outside), but for the upper quartile prices, which were ok, if: table cloth of any kind for sure a must, meals didn't take 45 minutes to get your entre after the starter. The location lovely when the weather permits, servers could not be better, sweeter and more apologetic for the kitchen weeds (if there are near 20 people, you better pray you didn't order near last or you are waiting a long time. However, Food, when it did arrive was delicious (beet salad/pork chop this time) and served perfectly.

    The service was horrible. We were immediately seated and given water. The one waiter came by and asked what we'd like for drinks. It was an hour before we got served. We also gave him our meal order at the same time. I had chosen the scallops and prawns and was informed there were no more scallops. So I said I'd be ok with just the prawns. An hour and half later my husband was served the chicken piccata that he ordered. The server asked if I had ordered a salad. I said no and said I had ordered the prawns. After a long time the waiter came and said I never told him that the prawns were ok. Not true. Well I finally got my meal. The waiter apologized again and said he'd give us a treat. He knocked off 20%. Then it took forever to settle our bill. Needless to say we were there for over 2 hours and the restaurant was NOT crowded. The portions for both of our meals were small and the meals were extremely expensive. We do NOT recommend this restaurant.
