    The signage trying to find the restaurant could have been better. We stopped twice to ask even though we were following two navigation systems. Our server was pleasant enough but not very knowable and forgot a couple of things - not a big deal - one was lemon for the waters and the other was the wine. Upon reminding her, she brought it right out. It was almost exactly an hour from the time we ordered until we received the food, even though there were only three other tables. The manager (?) did come by to apologize for the wait. Atmosphere is very nice with a view of the lake. The food was very good (chicken & waffles and avocado toast with smoked salmon). It’s a solid ‘worth another try’.
