It seems it this one has seen it's better times, setting is good, space is good, food is eh, service is the best thing they have going for them.
If they would revive the menu and use fresher food they may do better. ( freezer veggies can be ok, but you have to prepare them correctly, and fresh is best.) Also we had 3 of the different fish dishes, one was dry and awful garnishment, another was OK but certainly telling of freezer time, the shrimp passed as decent.
The place seemed dead for a lakefront dinner establishment on a Friday night, but I think the food is the telling tale. Hope they do better.

After our visit on August 15, 2025, I’m afraid I will never go back. They could not get our drink order correct. We ordered two frozen run runners that you couldn’t taste anything but the ice so we sent them back and requested new ones with not frozen and they were just as bad. One person ordered a margarita one was awesome but the second one made by a different bartender who put orange juice in the margarita which gave it a disgusting color and taste. The batter on my fish sandwich was a very dark. We asked for hot sauce, four times and never received it. We were told they were having credit card issues so they took my card out to the outside bar to run which they did and I had 6 pended transactions. They show me one slip where it said denied, but yet when I pulled up my bank account there was pending charges. My friend was nice enough to put my meal on her card and it did go through. Two days later, I pulled up my account and not only did it pay one time it is still pending one time with an amount that’s a penny difference. So in other words, they were paid twice for my dinner after the manager insisted that their system would only allow the account to be paid once Unfortunately, they were closed today 8/19/25 so I left a detailed message and we will just see if they call back a timely fashion. I did enjoy going there for the live music, but I will not be returning to that venue again.

My wife and I had an early dinner there today. It was wonderful in all respects! The food was delicious with healthy portions, the atmosphere was wonderful, and our server (Krista) was AMAZING!!! I'd give more than five (5) stars if that was possible!

We usually go there every month or so. We have always had a great experience there.

Great restaurant! Service was plenty fast enough; food was good and plentiful. Sweet tea was very watered down; that was the only negative….i had the fish and chips and a house salad…both delicious! We sat outside because we were wet from jet-skiing (pulled right up to the restaurant!) it was fun to watch the boats and enjoy the live music from the tiki bar!
