    The restaurant sits on a private lake and we were able to eat dinner with a beautiful view. We sat inside, but they do have an outdoor patio too. The food was good, but not great and the service was mediocre. We had chowder and a side salad that were not great. We did get an appetizer, the “loud dog” hush puppies that we ordered had fresh jalapeños inside which were very tasty. We ordered the shrimp scampi and mahi mahi as our entrees and were pleased with those choices. We skipped dessert but they had some good options. Overall, I would recommend the place for the view, and the food was decent, but not great.

    Seated promptly for our reservations. Love this place. Busy Saturday night, noise level was up there, but understandable. Food was very good, a little overcook on the app, but entrees were great. Service was prompt, friendly, not overbearing. Nice night, on a spur-of-the-moment reservation.

    Did a reservation. Asked to be sat near water. They sat us in a dark corner with a wall unit air conditioner blowing directly on the kids. Asked to be moved to an empty 4 person table outside but said that was for someone else, even though it was open when we arrived and my reservation asked to be sat by the water. So we left and went to The Merchant in Kent and where sat on patio. By the water! The food was amazing and so was the view!

    We go here often and are never disappointed. Food was great, we had the flatbread special and the perch. Bar service was a little slow but not a big deal. We will keep coming back.

    We sat outside for the first time and service was just as speedy and great! Can’t beat that view either! Food was fresh and delicious and steak was cooked perfectly!

    We waited almost an hour without food. When we asked for a Manager, no one would identify who was in charge. Finally after asking several times, someone came to the table to apologize for the delay. The person did discount our bill as promised. When the food finally arrived it was very good.

    Wow everytime we come here it's exceptional. The food is always very good. The fish and chips never disappoint. The clam chowder is amazing. Their home made mule is out of this world. The service is attentive and the view is so relaxing. I can't recommend them enough. Our favorite spot!
