Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Main Deck boasts "great views" and a picturesque lakeside location, enhancing its dining experience. While the "service was extraordinary," with friendly staff like Tori and Vanessa, food quality is inconsistent with standout dishes like "butternut squash soup" and "new menu" items. Despite some challenges, the atmosphere remains inviting and charming.

It took one hour for our food to arrive after ordered. It took twenty minutes for the check to arrive after we asked for it. Food was good. Ambiance and view very nice. Very understaffed fir a busy Saturday afternoon. I’d think twice before going back.

It was nice eating on the top deck overlooking the lake. The only thing that could have made it better was to watch the sun set. It was hidden behind the clouds. Food was great. They even brought out little samples compliments of the chef.

Staff was helpful but needed more training for table service responsiveness. Food was uneven. Chicken was bland and overcooked so I asked for chili sauce which helped. Ceviche dish creative and delicious. Zucchini excellent but ricotta dish sloppy and hard to eat and bread soaked in butter. Very good beer selection. Nice view of lake.

The food and drinks were quite good and while they were at a higher price point they seemed a good value for the money. Service was pretty good but we sat a long time before our server knew we were there and they were clearly covering a large area and didn't stop by too often. Staff were all very friendly but on a busy night it seemed like they needed additional staff.

The building and view are stunning. Wait staff was friendly and kind. The wine selection is full of local, good choices. The food was absolutely flavorless. I don’t think either of four dishes were seasoned at all and for the price it was extremely disappointing.

While the restaurant seemed quite full, and we were warmed about a shortage of servers, we received quick and efficient service and excellent food. Highly recommended.
