The wait staff was wonderful. We had a Pumpkin cheesecake with pecan fudge underneath. It was the most delicious dessert we had ever had anywhere.

The food is among the best you’ll find on the lake, but the service falls short. The ambience is good but honestly depends on your seat. Some of the views of the lake are iconic. Considering the price, restaurants like Lone Eagle or Soule Domain offer a much better service experience and competing food quality.

Excellent server, curly hair and a mustache, absolutely on the ball! The chef is excellent too, I had the pork chop with mango chutney, melted in my mouth, such a tender piece of meat, wow! My husband had the filet and said the same thing,. Our experience was the best, thank you and keep up the great experience.
