A solid four star breakfast for our anniversary. I got the Irish Benedict, my husband the conga-monster. We sat on the water and the view was beautiful, can't say anything for the interior of the restaurant as we were not seated there. We started with bloody Mary's, obviously which were good, but I've had better. I absolutely hate the paper straw but that's a personal preference. Our server was polite and attentive, but the service itself was incredibly slow, about 30 minutes before we got food. I will say, my breakfast was divine. Potatoes cooked and seasoned well, corned beef hash had a fantastic sear on it and I felt my poached eggs were cooked beautifully. Hollandaise was good, and appeared to not be made entirely from a box. Hubby was very satisfied with his breakfast as well. Prices were reasonable for what we got. I would love to come back in the fall to see the leaves and sit outdoors.

This used to be my favorite place, great location and good food. In the past few months their prices have gotten out of control and the service (which was always kind of slow) has gotten significantly slower. Last time I went we waited 45mins for a burger while we watched other tables who were seated after us get their food. They also wildly increased the prices of their kids menu. Probably won’t be back.

Been here 4 times. It’s always a little weird when you walk in and there’s never a dedicated hostess (or even a floating one) so you just kind of stand there anywhere from 5-10 minutes before someone acknowledges you’ve arrived. All times I’ve gone; they’ve been pretty busy so I can actually understand why a waitress who’s already running around can’t always stop to play hostess. That must be tough for them, so we always accepted that even though it was semi inconvenient. This time, we walked in and there was one other party. We waited with them and 5 minutes later another party came in. When we finally got someone to come over we were told about a 20 min wait, which was fine. We were seated in that timeframe, sat down and then we waited for probably a solid 20 minutes before we were acknowledged or brought water to. I looked over about 15 minutes after sitting down only to see that couple who walked in after us (no reservations) already have water and beers at the table. Confused as to how that happened. We got the water and ordered immediately. The food took a very long time to come out as well, and that same couple had long since eaten and was ready to leave by the time we got ours. Kids burger made a price jump from $7 to $12 in a span of a year it seems as well. They didn’t ask if he wanted fries and just recieved house chips with it.Unfortunately we’d skip them next time. Great view and good food but service and pricing inconsistent and the no hostess thing is strange.

Amazing location right on the lake. Homemade bread and other pastries. This is a definite must go to a place. The staff was very attentive to take care of us on a very quick manner.This place does recommend reservations and it's very busy on the weekend. If you go on the weekend without a reservation, you should expect a 45 min to 1 hour wait!We waited - and it was worth it

Decided to leave a review after last weekends experience. Walked in for breakfast around 1130. Entrance had 2 or 3 other parties waiting to be seated.....no host at the door, no one came to take names after 10 or 15 minutes of standing around, and more people coming in the door....and still no staff even acknowledged we existed. Decided to just leave.

Place have decent size parking lot and beautiful location by lake. When me and my Wife got there for branch, place was pretty busy. We waited about 15 min. Line was building up behind us.As recent carnivore diet enthusiasts, me and my Wife don't have crazy choice of food for breakfast. We both ordered meat lover omelets. One for her, two for me.Wait was little long. Omelets looked symmetrical and where packed with meat and cheese. They were really good and filling.Staff was nice and smiling. If you want to get good table, so you can enjoy view, make sure to reserve your table ahead.Definitely recommend.

Definitely recommend making a reservation! We did for a busy Sunday morning and I'm so glad. They saved a table inside and outside just in case. It took a while to get our food but they were very busy. The food was so delicious! Very prompt and thoughtful service. Overall such a classy and friendly vibe. Will definitely go again!!

Great meals and equally great service!!A bit of a wait on the July 4th holiday weekend but well worth it!

Fantastic service and a great menu that has all the basics but goes beyond with more creative options and excellent specials (lobster Benedict was so good). It was pouring so we didn't go outside, but the pleasant, patient staff made up for it. Great with our indecisive kids. Our family had a lovely time and will be back!

Wonderful spot with wonderful food! Five stars!Two notes, it gets a bit chilly inside (just bring a light sweater) and it gets a bit noisy (only because it’s so popular and filled with people!).Can’t wait to go back and try something else!
