They were the BEST!“

“I very much enjoyed eating at this restaurant and would recommend. The entrée options and menu in general can be challenging, but our waiter was so knowledgeable about the food, and the way it’s prepared, and what it goes well with, it was very easy to make my selections. I ate here on a trip to the lake with some friends. It was a perfect place for a group of well off middle-aged men with adventurous palates. Between the entire group, we must’ve ordered one of everything on the menu and it was all spot on. Don’t get fooled by the lack of exterior aesthetics or the absence of a parking lot. This place is good quality food.“

“Always a pleasure to stop by when I'm on a river trip. Haven't eaten anything from there yet, but I did a little breakfast cooking in the back yard when I stayed with a friend in one of the cabins in back. Went back another time in a camper. Nice place and nice accommodations. Music and fun in the mountains.“
