A.W.H- Romans 12:1-21 KJV

I have mixed reviews. Here’s why: The Oar Restaurant itself at Lake Lanier was not the problem, because I do NOT feel like we were treated any differently nor faced any discrimination. As a military wife, I have traveled across countries and I am no stranger to communication and different cultures. Why? Because I see the whole person first and not their skin color. Anyhow, I will not ever be returning to Lake Lanier after research & being educated about how this Lake evolved. I am embarrassed to say this after the fact. I went and I saw. I brought an uplifting spirit, because I was oblivious. But now -I am left with a heavy heart and a grieving spirit for everyone.

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.

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.
