About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    Overall the food quality was good. Service was good. Noise level a bit on the louder side. Very pretty dining room. Rest rooms a bit more challenging for people with mobility issues due to age of buildings in Smithville.

    Food did not match the beautiful setting. My ahi tuna did not meet expectations. I have had better presentation and quality at other restaurants of this caliber.

    The meal was delicious! I loved the beautiful white baby grand which was played by a master pianist throughout our dinner. We had a view of the lake. The waiter, Dominic, was attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant graciously provided a cupcake with a candle and ice cream as the pianist played Happy Birthday. I highly recommend this restaurant for a taste of fine dining.
