The service and food are excellent. The pot pie is a must try. Best I have ever had.

Absolutely lovely staff. Seeing some of these comments and reviews it makes me question. Some of the patrons that are going there and leaving the reviews. The staff here is nothing but friendly and super accommodating. There's always one host in the front. That's also waiting as well. They are kind and also very reassuring to making sure that your meal is correct. Anything wrong with my mail, they never have a hesitation to send it back and fix it. We got the beef Wellington, which is absolutely superb, and the bacon wrapped scallops. It has been had the ribeye and my daughter had the kids chicken tenders. All amazing, and you can never go wrong with the view

Came in here, immediately greeted by asking if we had reservations. We got sat right away, the entire restaurant smelled like fish. None of the food looked appetizing and it was overpriced so my husband and I left.

Beautiful lakefront restaurant, food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. The owner even came out to check on this and we had a very pleasant conversation. They also had Keto and No sugar options!!!

Horrible service and bad food! A group of us called to move our reservation and the host who answered was rude and said it wasn't possible as the restaurant was fully booked. We arrived to our reservation and the host was rude when we walked in trying to be funny, but she wasn't. It turned the whole group off and mind you we paid a $50 deposit to hold our reservation for our large group. Come to find out the restaurant was not booked for the evening as many tables were open when we sat down. Someone in our party got severe food poisoning a few hours later & almost ended up in the ER. Do not eat here!

Look, I don't care what any negative reviews say, this is a very special place. The food, the service, the view, I would match it up to just about any LA west side or even San Francisco top spot. They have a wild game sampler that is presented in an award winning fashion. Maybe a bargain hunter would not be interested here, but anyone who has a passion for food, served by seasoned professionals who do it as a labor of love, go here. These people take great pride in the experience, and it shows, big time. Friggen love this spot. It's first class, trust me.

Food is amazing and I hardly leave any reviews. Low key spot with lake view. I came cause it wasn't has busy as the other restaurants. Come if you wanna avoid any big lines.

The owner a very old lady Dr. Jerry W. Lemke is prejudice and we felt harassment against us. We were the day before there she kept starring at our daughter and micromanage each movement of her. She made us VERY uncomfortable! The only reason why we returned is because we couldn’t get a last minute reservation. Our reservation was for 6.30 pm. We came over 5.30 pm. Everything was empty and she told us she can’t seat us. 3 adults 4 kids ! People walking in with no reservation would get seated right away. Even her husband tried to shut her down. When she talked at my husband. She’s not a good person and to have this experience is ridiculous as a family trip. Karma.

Tonight is our anniversary and we were so excited to get to finally try this place out . But we never got to because the elderly hostess lady with glasses was so incredibly rude to us because we accidently walked in the wrong door and scolded us 3 times so we turned around and walked out.We ended up going to your competition up the street and had a lovely meal together. And the hostess was not a tired grouch.It might be time for someone to retire .

This place is okay. The food seemed a bit bland and they didn't have a great selection of items to choose from. But it is at the marina, so there is that. It was filled with mostly stuffy kinds of people. Guys with sweaters tied around their necks looking like they just got done playing tennis. The prices were a bit high. I guess it's great if you want to get away from the riff Raff and paying extra to do so is part of the bargain.

Cold food Over priced View denied! Great views until people sat in tables behind us, so management insisted on closing the blinds in front of our table, so we lost our view. Sunset and raised the blinds a fraction of an inch. Still no view to make up for crying kids and low quality food. Go somewhere else. Food is not fresh. Mavericks and Santana has better views and hot food.
