Went here because we saw it was pet friendly and Google showed they were open. We get there and they are closed for refurbishment u til memorial day. The business should ensure Google has correct information.

Service and view were great. We sat outside and watched the fishing boats come in. Food was casual seafood for a bar like fish sandwich and fried baskets. But it was all good.

Aw man. This place has the most absolutely beautiful view and atmosphere. The staff are so kind and service is wonderful, but the food is a hot mess. Where is Gordan Ramsey because y'all have so much potential to be absolutely fantastic but fall fast with that menu, prices, and the food itself.

Read a previous review that basically said it's a roll of the dice, one night the food is great, the next it's not. I guess we showed up on the wrong night. We were one of only 2 tables, service was fine (2 tables, they weren't busy). Got the crab/lobster dip which was fine, the rest of our order consisted of Cheeseburger, Chicken strips, Philly cheesesteak and Roast beef sandwich. 1 of the 4 entrees came hot, the rest was cold garbage. No one could finish their meal it tasted so bad. We spent $100 on food that did not have 10 bites taken out of it. If you want a place to drink beer that tastes like lake water and food you wouldn't give your dog, this is it.

I placed an carry out order. They said they were very busy and would call me when ready. No call 1 and half later, go in they tell me they can't find my order and are closed. No apology, just we don't have it. The worst customer service ever!!

The dining area has a beautiful view of the lake, and the food was very good, Great selection of sandwiches . Our service was terrible, I realize they were busy BUT we got our food and didn't have any silverware, she finally brought 3 sets when there were 5 adults dining, we had to ask for salt and pepper, twice for to go boxes. If I'm going to spend almost $200 on dinner I expect better service than that.

They were very short-staffed that day, but the whole world seems to be. Our server was very nice and the food was tasty, but it took a little over 2 hours for lunch. Now--that being said--we weren't going anywhere and the outdoor screen porch was great for watching the lake, so that didn't bother us. Just wanted to say that it is a long service. Food was average to above average. There were good sandwich options and the nachos were tasty. Bar food with a twist-- We would come back for the view and pick carefully from the menu. The tropical drinks were excellent, though!

The front of house staff is all very friendly. The place seems clean and has amazing views of the lake on the deck with ceiling fans to help keep it from getting too stuffy. The only trouble with the place is the inconsistent food. Apparently they have different cooks on different days. One chef rocks like you see in the attached pic and the next day the chef couldn't even get the wonton chips cooked. They came out burned and raw at the same time which was pretty impressive. They made several attempts to get it right and couldn't. They did take the dish off our our bill which was appreciated. My granddaughter's mac & cheese came out very dry and clumpy. In fact, all the food suffered that day. Whichever chef was there on 6/2/23 rocked. The chef on 6/3/23 was bad. It was a tale of two restaurants. It was very disappointing that 6/3 happened to be the day that our kids joined us. We'd pumped up the place only to have big a disappointment. If 6/3 was our only visit, I'd probably have awarded two stars at most.If you get the right chef, the tuna nachos are amazing and so is the crab rangoon dip. We had both all three days we visited. Do ask if a dish has something you're allergic to on it. I'm allergic to avocados and they aren't listed as an ingredient on the nachos but came anyway. I could pick them off so no big deal for me.

Food was pretty good. Service was great as well. It has a nice view of the lake. Appears to have a nice marina and tiki bar but didn't experience those. Worth a drive out if you want a meal with a nice view.

From the time we sat down until we paid we were here for 2 hours! Slow service is an understatement. And the food was disgusting.
