The place and atmosphere were very nice, the food was good, the service took a long time and when I was eating the group at the next table began to make fun of the Latinos and they even made fun quite visible to everyone present that we went to the part of outside to enjoy the view, we tried not to pay attention, however it was quite uncomfortable.

Good was good. It was super busy on one of the first really nice days of March so the servers were slammed with guests making the initial service slow but the food came out fast. Nice place to sit by the water and enjoy the outdoors.

Grouper fingers were great. Cold beer. Music trivia is the best on Monday nights. Update: Great place to grab some terrific food. House salad is the best House salad in the area. Try the steak tacos ?Kid-friendliness: Kids and Dogs are welcome. Great family environment.

Food was great! This is not a restaurant though, it’s a bar. The restaurant had drunk people yelling and dancing all over the place. If you like bars this might be for you but definitely not a restaurant.Service was oriented to the bar rather than the ones in the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all with this atmosphere.

Food was awesome. Not so much the bartender Lily, she was EXTREMELY rude. Not sure if she was having a bad day but her attitude was not it.

This is my favorite restaurant on Lake Lanier. I always enjoy my time and the food and drinks are amazing. They have a friendly and hard working staff that go out of their way to take care of everyone. Ryan makes amazing drinks as well!

Staff was friendly and amazing when I read reviews it sounded great but was definitely a bar atmosphere rather than a restaurant seemed like a great place if you didn't have kids. Food was not great Un seasoned and the kids food was burnt tasted very old. Go have a drink there don't eat or bring kidsKid-friendliness: Not a kid friendly place definitely a bar atmosphere.

We we’re boating on Lake Lanier when we stopped at this restaurant to get some hot drinks and some appetizers. Easy dock access, you just have to walk up a little hill. Scenic views. The restaurant itself feels warm and comfortable. Very friendly staff. The appetizers we ordered were decent. The pretzel was delicious and so was the Dijon mustard, but the cheese sauce left something to be desired. I was also not super impressed with the seafood (shrimp & crab) dip, which was one of the most expensive appetizers. It was just OK and definitely needed a few more pita chips. I’d still recommend checking this place out and am sure it’s a ton of fun during busy season.

We’re regulars and slip holders at the marina, ain’t nothing we love more than getting twisted up at the oar! We love Jada, Lexy, Ryan, Lisa, Lilly, Ashley, the guy that’s a die hard Braves fan but I can’t remember his name, and above all Jesús Christ. Twisted oar 4L!
