Pretty cool place. Nice views for the most part. Food tasted pretty good all around, although not as eye appealing as I had hoped. Server helped us pick between some dishes and was pretty quick to fill drinks etc. Inside was almost empty when we arrived and was quiet but it filled up fast and got quite a bit louder.

I love the food, the service is attentive and the overall atmosphere is amazing, so why only 4 stars? Well... it's very popular, and I've dined here a few times, and each time the din of noise is so loud, I can hardly hear the server, or the people I'm dining with.

Inside dining 🍽 people talk so loud it would be a great place if you didn't want to talk to your date. 🤣

I recommend outside dining if you want to have a hope of hearing each other.

The food is wonderful from burgers to fried oysters. Drinks 🍸 and lake view make the place perfect for a lazy afternoon liner. But, when the sun goes down, it gets loud!

We’ve been coming here for years and have never thought I’d be writing this review ..

Service and food was great as always but as soon as we got our food and drinks , the waitress was acting really rude & disrespectful questioning everything and talking crap . It was just a bad experience overall . This will be the last time we come here . Completely shocked on how the night turned out

I really don't know what is going on with this place but we just had the worst service ever! We were told it would be a 30 minute wait and it was almost an hour. Then as she was seating us she asked if we minded sitting on patio? I asked is that our only choice and she said yes. Not what I wanted in almost 100 degree weather but we were starving! Then the appetizer took 30 minutes to get to our table and the meal took almost an hour and my husbands meal was cold! The waitress was so sweet and apologized and said she didn't know what was taking so long back in the kitchen but everyone's orders were taking forever. This place is not cheap! So overpriced!
And I think it will be awhile before I return if ever. Horrible service and to top it off it was our anniversary! It hasn't always been this way but the owner needs to really figure it out!

The Cobb salad was the best cobb salad I have ever eaten in my life. Excellent quality food.
The prices are great. I’d love to eat there again & again.

Not enough staff tocover all the tables. Poor staff had to respond it grumpy people so much that the patient people had to wait longer to get taken care of. Food was great, menu good choices.

The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were OUTSTANDING! We were there at night, so we missed the lovely lake view, but still enjoyed dinner outside. Adimara was such a sweet and attentive server and I am so glad I took her up on her recommendation...the chicken fingers. I don't usually go somewhere new with chicken fingers in mind...but y'all...Check out the pic...they look like a whole chicken breast! So the size, crispy flavorful coating...the BEST...EVER! My husband had the catfish plate which was also really good! We were visiting from out of town but can't wait to go back here someday!

Excellent food! We’ve been several times for lunch and brunch. My favorite lunch item is the grilled chicken with sautéed veggies and a glass of Sauvignon blanc. The patio is lovely to sit on, especially when the weather is nice. The view of the lake is beautiful!

Beautiful sitting outside, food was delicious. Service was a little slow took a bit to get the food but honestly worth the weight. Seating was quick. Definitely would be back.
