Perfect lighting, great view of the lake in front of the big window, good service, reasonable price, and the entree dinner was easily 9 out of 10.

We went there at night and enjoyed the dart games, food, pool, and the T.V.s. I thought the ethics were well thought and I loved the decorations. They were very kind to us and my boys. Also, they were quick and the food was cooked fresh. Food was very tasty and we left stuffed. With the beach and the lake this is a must to stop when passing through. Food was amazing here and will be a stop we make every time.

Great food and outstanding service! It is a really pleasant place for dinner and a beautiful view of the lake!

The hostess definitely had an attitude the day we were there. I didn’t see her smile the entire time. The food was nothing to brag about but it was good. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious. The prices were about average.

Wonderful Breakfast Experience at Water’s Edge!

We had such a great experience at Water’s Edge Restaurant during their breakfast buffet. The food was fresh, well-stocked, and had a nice variety that kept everyone in our group happy—including our picky little eater!

From the moment we walked in, the hostess was extremely nice and helpful, making us feel right at home. Partway through our meal, my 5-year-old accidentally spilled a full glass of water all over her chair. I was so impressed by how quickly the staff responded—multiple employees came over right away to help clean it up and made sure we were all taken care of without making us feel uncomfortable.

That kind of attentiveness and kindness really stood out. It’s not just about great food—it’s about how people make you feel, and the team at Water’s Edge truly went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back!

Did not get a chance to eat because we left. No hostess and line full of people. We ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings instead.

Crab Mac and cheese is so good and their portions are pretty generous. Dinner with a view love this place!

Empty waterfront tables. Staff refused to let us sit there. Food very good. Pricey.

First, the restaurant does not stand alone but inside another on the park property. It's listed as The Dining Room, not by the name of the establishment. The appetizer came with no extra plates to share amongst the table and the sandwiches came out shortly after the appetizer arrived. The food was overpriced. The prime rib sandwich seemed to be reheated several times and dry. The salmon club was pretty good but I felt more bread than salmon. The iced tea was the weakest I have EVER seen. I couldn't drink it. At $4 a glass, unacceptable. For the money spent, very disappointed.

Beautiful views of the lake and wonderful food and service!

Very poor attitude. Restaurant was empty and would not sit us at 6:30.

We were turned away for having too big of a party. Two sections of the restaurant were empty, they wouldn't let us come in under smaller groups. Sheer laziness and incompetency. Do better, we paid to stay here.

FYI, party size was 18 and we came in 2.5 hours before close. No good reason in turning us away

Food was good but it's the little things that bug me!
Steak fries are $5.95 but if you add cheese bacon & jalapenos it's $9.00 more
A friend of mine orders the chef's special pizza a week ago ,it was $6 more and comes out with just pickles, I'm sure he could have ordered a cheese pizza add pickles and it would have been $6 less...

I got told the French onion soup was good here, it was anything but. Bland, not much beef flavor.
Got the feta dip, was also bland and they called the pita that came with it chips, but they were anything but a chip. I was expecting a crispy pita chip.
Got the rosemary chicken and it was okay. We also got the starvin arvin it was okay. The au ju was lacking the beef flavor again and the beef that was on the sandwich in my opinion was to crispy for me.
The place smelled like a dirty diaper and sewage when we walked in.
Server lacked attentiveness. My husband glass had lip stick lips on it and we didn't notice til the end of dinner. We paid $80 for dinner for two and was not pleased. I will not be returning. This restaurant is a ghost town on a Friday night and that should have said something. The food wasn't even picture worthy.
