Located on Lake Tillery, this restaurant is accessible by car or by boat. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a wide selection of food and drinks. Some of my favorites are the fish tacos, fresh ahi tuna salad and bison burger. The fried dill pickles and homemade chips are great starters. Outdoor dining area is popular as you get some views of the lake as well as marina activity. The service has always been excellent.

Good food terrible service to have that many servers just walking around empty tea glass for over 15 minutes, never asked if meal was good never asked if we wanted dessert took forever to even get the check I really wanted to like this place

Good food. I had fish tacos, others at my table had Cuban sandwich, or club sandwich And shrimp & grits. Everything was presented well and NS served quickly after we ordered. All good & no complaints. Reasonable prices. Good service.
