The Retreat: Lake Wateree Dining offers an exceptional dining experience with a menu featuring delicious dishes such as crabcakes, roasted salmon, and tender filet mignon. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, and the ambiance is woodsy, with a beautiful view of the lake from the porch. The restaurant has a quaint and rustic style, with a porch that offers rocking chairs and bar chairs to enjoy the stunning lake view, which is visible from nearly every seat. While certain items may run out during busy times, the substitution options are satisfactory. The food presentation is lovely, and many dishes, like the pork chop with black-eyed peas and collards, are flavorful and satisfying, with options that are gluten-free and dairy-free. Guests can enjoy a 3-course meal week for $29, which is considered a great deal. The restaurant can be accessed by boat or road, and guests often enjoy live music entertainment while waiting for their table. Staff are praised for their excellent service, including helping to plan special events. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a favorite spot for special occasions like reunions.
