Friday and Saturday prime rib on the sign brought us in on Sat. Aug. 24. The website indicated opening at 4 p.m. We arrived at 4:20 for an early dinner, two young women greeted us and said "sit anywhere." There were 2 people at the bar, two bar patrons leaving and two of us at a table - 6 people in the entire restaurant.
The bartender shared her dilemma with growing Saturday business with a couple at the bar. After 15 minutes of listening to the bar tender explain all her social media strategies, walking past us twice without so much as a word and never seeing a server we decided that might be why they were having problems getting customers.
We decided to leave having never been served even a glass of water. On the way out we approached one of the young women and asked if she was our server - no I'm not a waitress was the response...we decided to spend our money elsewhere. So we can't rate the food, and the service was non existent.
As a local, Deer Lake is not an unknown to us and I have hosted and attended many events there and found the service and food to be excellent. Social media is one way to bring in customers, but it's also a way for customers to share their poor experiences.

Never had a bad time here. Live entertainment, but are still able to speak to each other at the table. Fantastic prime rib!

Didn’t have our reservation when we arrived. ? Food was good. Service took forever- they didn’t seem to have enough staff to accommodate the number of people seated.

The food is good, but I regularly (while kids are in tennis) have to wait 30 minutes for a server to acknowledge that I would like to order. Please train your staff.

We loved this place. Too bad we don't live a little closer or we would frequent much more.
Parking: Convenient
Kid-friendliness: Maybe not in the bar. Kids would be a disruption to this crowd. Only selfish parents would bring kids to this environment. The restaurant no problem for kids.
Wheelchair accessibility: Nice ramp

What a beautiful place! We sat at the bar and received AMAZING service from Angie. Ordered the king prime rib, veggies, baked potato, lobster soup ... Wow it was so delicious! I can't wait to come back.
