    Great experience! The food was to die for, the view was incredible and the atmosphere was quiet/enjoyable. Had the Sea Bass and Ribeye 10-10!!! Will be back to enjoy the Seafood tower.

    Restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Very romantic setting with a wonderful view of the lake. Wife’s steak and lobster dish was delicious. Unfortunately my six fried shrimp and catfish filets were a bust. Shrimp wasn’t fried enough to my liking and the fish filets were way too thick for frying. We enjoyed our visit nonetheless.

    We ate there during sunset and it was a beautiful backdrop to dine by. The windows over looking the lake makes for a serene setting. Waitress outstanding, food very good.
