Loved being able to have a delicious dinner on the patio lakeside!
An absolutely stunning location with amazing views. The food is fantastic as well and they make a stiff drink. Not a single complaint about this place.
Absolutely awesome place. Right on the the lake. The breakfast buffet is crazy good. Bloody Mary bar also fully stocked and so so nice. We did breakfast off the menu and the Sammies were something else. Double sausage and the muffins were almost pancake soft and incredible. Robert was our bartender and can't say enough about how nice and attentive and engaging he was. Will definitely be a stop in the future.
Loved the breakfast! Also 2 very cute big dogs that hang around too!
I've worked in restaurants in the past, and it takes a lot to get me excited about restaurant food. While many places are good not many are stellar. I would have to say both of our meals were stellar. They were having some problems in the kitchen that day in the food came out a little slow but other than that the service atmosphere and especially the food was excellent. We will definitely be back. I had the Cubano and my wife had the turkey cranberry sandwich.
Amazing breakfast buffet! We Went for the first time today. Great atmosphere and a friendly dog named Norman greeted us in the park lot.
