I've been here several times over the past few months and really enjoyed the food, venue, and music each time. While there's a shiny new kid on the block down the street -which is really great too, don't forget about this oldie but goodie. We want to all our restaurants on the lake in Hamburg to thrive!

All 4 of our party thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Very generous portions. Our server was terrific & of course the view can't be beat.

Best Ceasar salad! And the BBQ wings were perfectly done. The outdoor music with the lake in the background. Doesn’t get any better. Need to spread the word about this spot.

Parking: No problem with parking at all.

Got right in. Beautiful deck right on the water. Waitress was very nice and informative. Food was fantastic! I had the shrimp platter and the shrimp was large and meaty. Definitely go back again!

Food was awful. Ordered the chicken sandwich and it was dry and reheated. Lettuce, onions and tomatoes weren’t fresh either. I won’t eat there again

This is what I dislike about Buffalo. No appreciation for what we have. We drove from place to place with a view and everything was closed. We finally found this little gem with outdoor seating, an amazing view, live music and GREAT FOOD! A family of 5 ate for under $100 with a $20 tip with drinks..
.kids and 10 are FREE! 10 out of 10!

Nice place to see a concert with a great view of the water. The food was good and the staff are all working hard to do a good job. With that said, there arent enough people working on the night of a concert and you feel for the them because there working to hard.

Food and service was very good. Band was as well. Too bad there was no one there to listen to them.

Kid-friendliness: They cater to the young ones with a hat and bandana and a visit to the treasure chest. As well as a kids menu.

The food was delicious and I always loved the location and Patio of this place to watch the boats go by or the sun set. I also like the line dancing on Thursdays. But I got to tell you we spent $200 on dinner one night and we wanted to just go sit on the patio and we're stopped by a kid saying we couldn't unless we paid a cover charge? I know you have to do that sometimes for bars but I said we had just come from eating and spent $200 can't we just sit on the patio and he said no. So I don't think that's right. We were going to spend more and decided to leave. Also on Thursdays you have some EDM music DJ's on the patio for the young crowd. But I got to tell you I was very upset and disappointed because everybody there was smoking weed or high on something. Is that really the crowd you want to entice at this nice big what used to be classy restaurant? You shouldn't want this here.
