My husband said these were the best fish tacos he's had (he got the perch)!
Super reasonable prices and great lake view!

The food is very tasty and portions are plentiful. We enjoy sitting out by the water and listening to the live music while enjoying dinner. The prices are reasonable for today's restaurants. A typical stop when I'm the Sandusky area for a visit. The Erie Perch sandwich is very good as are the fries.

The scenery was beautiful with the lake. but the food absolutely had no flavor. They do not season absolutely anything.My fries were cold.I had to take them back. I had the perch, no seasoning at all

Fantastic all around, the staff, the food, the view. This wonderful restaurant is highly recommend. So beautiful with a incredible view of the water, boats, and islands. The food is fresh and very tasty. We loved it and we will always come back here when we are in the area.

I absolutely love eating here! This spot has quickly become one of my go-to places whenever I’m in the area. If you’re spending the day at Cedar Point and don’t want to deal with the overpriced, underwhelming theme park food, this place is the perfect alternative. It’s just a short drive away and so worth it.

The food here is consistently delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re in the mood for tacos, burgers, or something more unique, the menu has great variety and everything I’ve tried has been a hit.

But what really makes this place stand out is the staff. Everyone I’ve encountered has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. It’s the kind of service that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, perfect for families, friends, or even just grabbing a quick bite on your own. Clean space, quick service, and great vibes all around.

If you’re in the area — especially if you’re visiting Cedar Point — do yourself a favor and stop by. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit!

Stopped here for a cheaper meal option after Cedar Shores. Beautiful. Delicious. Worth a trip if it’s own. We will definitely be back!
