First time coming here and honestly the food came out lukewarm and lacking flavor. Ordered Mac and cheese and seemed like the pasta still had water at the bottom. Calamari was good but again lukewarm. The steak was pretty good and the dessert was okay. Our server was fantastic though, she was informative, sweet, and attentive. We most likely will return because we did enjoy the atmosphere.

We had a wonderful time last night at The Beacon with friends listening to The Jersey Sound Band. The atmosphere was top-notch, the food and service was fantastic, Trevor the manager came by our table a few times to make sure everything was perfect and it was!

The food is good, the brunch menu is a little limited. You get really good service when Amie, Marjorie, and or Andrew is working the bar.

I LOVE this place. The food, the service, the ambiance can't be beat. There are many wonderful restaurants around Lake Hopatcong, but this is one that I've eaten at twice in one day. It is on the expensive side, but happy hour specials help with affordability. Their burgers are well seasoned and melt in your mouth. There isn't an item on the brunch menu I haven't enjoyed. Their new menu is delicious! I've tried both risottos - yum! The fettuccine odine was so good, I didn't have any leftovers. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu sandwich with fried chicken, and O. M. G. My husband can't end the meal without getting the banana pudding. I promise there is something on the menu you will enjoy! Highly recommend!

The 2 stars are for the bartenders at the bar
So disappointing. It Should never take 15 min to decide to serve the other side of the bar on a not so busy night. We sat down and they never came over but kept looking at us. As soon as a new crowd came in they took the order and then another set of people. So I was confused. I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t even busy. Did we look weird or something? I come here often for dinner and get better service at a table by our great waitress . I guess they thought we were ordering food and was waiting till the kitchen closed at 9 or didn’t like us. lol but no we just wanted drinks. Never again at the bar. The guy that came up finally noticed us. Bravo

This is such a good casual local place for food and drinks. Beautiful in the summer outdoors ☀️ and in the winter they have a Christmas vibe 🎄❣️As a local realtor in the area I keep it on my list of recommendations for out of the area clients.

This is definitely a very fun place to visit. The food is very good. Good drinks. The bands are always really good. And there’s a nice dance floor. And it’s right on the lake so nice roomy place friendly people fun dancing. It can be kind of a mature crowd, so I’m not sure if it’s for young people just an FYI. But I really enjoy going there.

What a disappointment. Too expensive for what you get. I left feeling cheated. The next day I went to the Stone Water and didnt mind paying more for everything better. Even Lolas and the Windlass are a better experience. Their service is great and food fairly priced. Not sure what changed. Its just not good anymore. I may go back only if I have to.

My Band Fully Loaded played there. I got there early and dinner. Which the food and drink were great staff was great and patrons had a great time with my band.
Came here for a birthday! There was live music whichever as fun! Views are gorgeous! The spinach artichoke dip was delicious! The chips had a crispy burnt taste but in a good way. Kinda like smoked. My dad liked the crab cakes. He said it had a bit too much crumb cakes. Mg dad enjoyed his mahi mahi. My husband enjoys his dish and chips. I really liked the steak. The desserts were not my thing but my dad and husband enjoyed them! I do wish they had a bit more variety. Overall service was great. Would def come back!

Can't believe it took me so long to find this gem! Food is great, nice variety. Beautiful inside and great view of the lake. Have held and attended a couple of events there as well, worked out great!
