Great spot with great views of Chautauqua lake, very good food and excellent service. Good kids menu, family bathroom and nearby playground makes it good for family.

Food is basic and bland mostly. Every time I have been there they always seem to be under staffed and chaotic. It's hardly relaxing and food takes quite awhile to receive. Ownership are truly the slumlords of owning a business and clearly cheap. Will never eat here again or suggest it to anyone. It actually is sad bc it's such a beautiful spot if they only maintained it well. That's what happens though when you don't treat Staff well or have decent food. There's always an issue there too everytime w the bill or something missing out of our order. That's why we just quit going. This is an easy fix if they actually cared about their staff enough to truly turn it around. You can't fix cheap and cutting corners and you can't have a great business with owners that clearly aren't even good at their jobs but expect their staff to be?? I will never understand why people choose to run a business this way. It's very old school and sad bc it's a beautiful building and truly a simple fix. Most staff were kind but truly not trained well. I don't blame anyone other than the top for this. It's mostly kids and some adults. Typical for a restaurant. Just very hard to understand how they aren't trained well for the job they're doing. It's pretty simple really. Just disappointed in the entire experience there but not surprised considering what people around the town say about it. I wanted to love it truly. Such a bummer.

Fun place to have dinner at on the lake with great views. We came for their wings that we previously tried at the wingfest and they were just as goood as the first time. I'd recommend the signature flavour. I also tried a greek wrap which was super tasty. I did ask for no olives and got them anyway, but I didn't voice it to the server and just dealt with it. Once they noticed they were very apologetic and I'm sure they would've fixed it if I asked. Therefore I can confidently give this place 5 stars.

They had bees bad inside. We couldn't even enjoy our meal. The waitress barely came around and rushed us when she did. And over paid for food that wasn't even good, that we didn't finish.

I absolutely loved it there and it was my first time there. Atmosphere on the deck was breathe-taking. I wasn't a fan on the selection of food and for me the price was sorta high . Overall, I would recommend it to friends and family. My sister and a friend of our will diffinately be back

Ordered a chicken wrap. I requested Buffalo sauce and blue cheese instead of ranch. I got a wrap that was falling apart and had no sauce and no dressing

Very surprised at the experience we had here. Based on reviews and word of mouth, I was expecting a wonderful time, but it wasn't. I understand when folks go back to school staffing can be a challenge, but that happens every year, no? I feel as though management didn't adequately prepare for end of the 2024 season. I also understand this place is on the water, but I had to ask our table be moved from the windows to more toward the middle of the room due to the horrible amount of flies. We had them landing on our face, silverware... everything. I eventually took our empty glasses and used them as bait on our first table to keep the flies away from us and other tables. If it weren't the choice place for our birthday guest, I honestly would have not ordered and left. Our server was great, it wasn't her fault, but overall, not a place I'd travel 45 minutes for again. Shooing flies off my face kinda did it for me. It became a chore to enjoy dinner.

My wife and I had stopped off here for a nice cold one after hiking around Panama Rocks. The bartender was very friendly, and the building was just full of music history. To see the names like Tommy Dorcy and such who have played in the great hall just had me thinking what a thrill it would be to have seen such shows .

Took 30 minutes to get drinks. Couldn't find a server inside the restaurant at all for at least 15 minutes to see where our food was

We went there on a Wednesday night, so I can't speak for how crowded it gets on the weekend. Food was good and service was fast. Very cool atmosphere as we sat right on the water. They have multiple docks where people can order food right from their boat. I want to give a shout out to their staff for being extra attentive when a storm was coming in. We were finished with our meal but there were plenty of people in the middle of theirs as the storm approached. The staff talked to each of the tables and game planned to move everyone inside if needed. I know it wasn't their first time doing it but it was still nice to see a place care for their customers and experience.
