Our family dined here for an early lunch on a Sunday. There were 6 adults and a toddler. We had reservations. It took a few minutes before anyone came to the hostess counter to seat us and there seemed to be no one around, but they had only been open a few minutes. After we were seated the service was great. They brought a booster seat immediately and were very attentive. We had salads, a couple burgers and a couple flatbreads and the food was all very tasty. Very happy with our experience!

We have vacationed in Okoboji for years and this is the first time we've eaten at the Waterfront Grille. I don't know why we waited so long! Our server Max was great, very attentive and friendly. They were able to accommodate our group of 13 easily on the patio with a great view of the lake. We'll be returning every year!

We are from out of town, but we come here every year to celebrate my birthday. It is always a pleasant experience! The food is excellent, the staff appear to be well-trained and very helpful, and the view of East Lake is spectacular!! The price is very competitive, and it's a nice touch to be given a complimentary birthday dessert. It was an all around great experience!!
