We looked forward to dinner at Dos. We had reservations which were made on open table, and when we arrived, the place was closed. Very disappointed that we were able to make reservations on open table for a restaurant that wasn't open.

Been there many times, but it appears that it's now for sale. I wonder who will buy it and what it will be. Great location and spectacular views and sunset views. I've always liked going there. Lots of potential with this.

Nice location. They do charge gratuity.... Did realize till we got home and had already left a cash tip. The food was good.

We had bang bang shrimp, lobster roll, flank steak sandwich and a side of brussel sprouts. All were delicious. Service was good and wait staff were friendly. An enjoyable evening and you can't beat the view.

Pros:1. Right on the water with nice multi-tier concrete patios.2. Neat looking, big wrap around bar outside.3. Outdoor dining right on the water.4. Nice looking setup indoors w/ hardwood floors & nice looking bar.5. Food is usually pretty good.6. They accommodate food allergies fairly well.Cons:1. They played ONLY county music the entire time, loudly. County is one of the most polarizing types of music, and that isn't a country bar. We were pretty tired of it and it continued (loudly) for the entire time.2. We went towards the end of August and they had 0 beers on tap, and a very limited beer bottle menu because they were going to close soon.3. They "didn't have any butter." Their rolls aren't really the type you eat without butter, so that wasn't great. There are stores and restaurants right nearby, so this seemed odd.4. The left side of the outdoor area is a field, volleyball pit, wood fence, and a chain link fence. All are poorly maintained and are an eyesore. Fortunately the outdoor bar blocks it for the most part. The fence on the right side is also pretty beat up and the door literally broken.5. Nearly half the lights on the strings outside are burnt out or missing.6. The entrance to the basement is very front and center for a portion of the people sitting outside, and was filled it junk cardboard boxes when we went.7. The bouillabaisse wasn't really done that well. It was in some odd turmeric sauce and the portion was quite small despite being $35. Felt like they were probably trying to empty out their stock of certain seafood stuff and figured they'd slap it together and no one would notice.8. The men's bathroom smelled like it hadn't been cleaned properly in quite a long time, and flies were buzzing around the [questionable] troth urinal.Overall, it seems like DOS isn't really being maintained very well, which is a shame. The potential is sky high with a location like that, but with the prices being charged and the availability of other places on the lake, they still need to figure out the issues I mentioned. They aren't the only game in town, and I am not sure if I can justify returning until they do fix some of these problems, because I just didn't have an enjoyable time as the issues stacked up.

Server was delightful. Drinks ok, no beer on tap? What’s that about? Wings and burger delicious - but no celery with the wings? Asked for a substitute- never heard back. All country music blasting during sunset - maybe some smooth jazz would work better? Sunset is beautiful. Can’t beat this view. .

With all the possible choices, maybe you should skip this one….read the reviews,the honest reviews are right on…the hostess seemed like she really didn’t want to work there….acted like she was doing you a favor…. Mediocre food, wife ordered the house wine and was charged for the more expensive wine…Server said that was all they had….not true. No draft beer, but menu says yes… not very crowded, for a reason…garage band playing way too loud for a dinner hour…sorry to report negative reviews, but…

We went there tonight for dinner (8/8/21) and were able to sit on the patio when the weather was nice. Our server was awesome but the hostess was super rude, the beer my fiancee ordered looked like it had been in the fridge for 5 years and with rust marks from the cap, their beer lines were down, waited an hour for our food, and the food itself was very poor quality. The patio had empty/used drinkware all over the place. A shame because of how much potential this place has on the water but will never return.

bar staff was atrocious. not a smile to be had, zero sense of urgency.

I had a family dinner at Dos On the Lake tonight and was incredibly disappointed. I never write reviews, but this place deserves the mention. There was garbage throughout the the outdoor seating area, the bar staff was incredibly rude… after asking multiple times for the band to turn down the music I was told “no, I can’t do that”. We were there for 3 hours and we had to serve our selves at the bar for water, drinks etc. the “bar manager” told us she would take half off a bottle of wine, that was never subtracted on our bill. Our waitress was no where to be found. Our food was cold and mediocre. A great place for just a drink or two, but go spend your money on a venue that takes pride in their staff and facility. The rude service could have been justified by great food. Overall, never would frequent again or recommend to anyone.

Steak ordered med rare came out well. Cosmo not made right at all. Food. Omplwtely unseasoned and dry. Dessert was gross.

I had my birthday party here last year it was a blast. Their blueberry margaritas are my favorite. The band was fun! Everyone there is friendly. They were out of a lot of food items on their menu for some reason so we didn't have much to choose from that's why I knocked a star off or I woulda gave it 5 stars
