Ordered the special of the day, pickerel, and still we waited for our food. Went at 5:40 and by 6:45 one of us had a salad and my husband still waiting for soup which comes with their special. We grumbled and was told food will be out in 2 minutes. By 7:00 we finally had food. Ridiculous and we complained and they said they could bring us another drink. Sorry we are starving, diabetic husband getting upset and we just want our food!!

There are truly so few restaurant options in Manitou Beach, and so little for vegetarians here. Thought this would be the “nice” restaurant in town, and it really is trying given how tiny of a place it is. But I found the whole experience to be average. Our server was super nice, but he didn’t come around much. When I asked what the veggie burger was made of, he went to check and came back and told me it was from a box, lol. So it was basically a Beyond Burger or something for $19 with a tiny little salad. I do appreciate that, but it would be nice to have a few more choices as well.

It was clear to us that there weren't enough people on duty tonight as our drinks and food took longer than expected to arrive, however our server Marasia was great. She was doing triple duty seating people, taking orders, mixing drinks, and serving until a second server arrived later. The food was well worth the wait! Two of us had to eat gluten free, and we weren't disappointed in what we ate. All of us were very happy with the experience overall. So much so we went back again tonight. Great food! Tej was our server this time and was fantastic! Seriously, the servers here are wonderful.

I am hesitant to eat here again after learning they failed a health inspection in January 2025 for Maintenance & General Sanitation, Food Protection, Temperature Control - Cooling, Thawing and Refrigeration. Also had my previous review deleted... lack of transparency. .

One would think after new management took over this situation would have been alleviated but they do not have a good track record with health inspections.

Piyar was our server, and he was absolutely amazing, it was dinner and a show! He did a few magic tricks, it was fabulous. On top of that the food was delicious, we got the stuffed mushrooms 10/10, Greek salad 10/10, and the seafood penne 10/10!!

Went for brunch, the food and selection wasn’t great and the service was really poor. It used to be much better there, but it’s changed.

The restaurant is attached to the hotel and is well attended. The breakfast is good with a good selection and larger portions. The staff is timely, and the wait is appropriate. A thoroughly enjoyable meal with business associates.
