crimson was my waitress and was helpfull

Food quality doesn’t match the price. I’ve had better tacos from a gas station and $15 for frozen chicken tenders is diabolical.

The perfect spot for holiday lunch , thank you !

We went to the pop up Christmas bar. The decor was very underwhelming. I’m not sure why we had to pay a fee. It didn’t cover anything exciting. I thought we’d be seated inside with festive lights and decor. Instead we were outside on a dark boat dock. The decoration we saw was a tv screen with a grinch screen saver that looked like you can get off YouTube. The cocktails were pricy and not great. The food was not fresh and we all got sick the next day. Our server was so sweet and great, but I would not recommend.

**your response to my review speaks for itself. So unprofessional and rude. I don’t think my cold burger and fries was made from scratch. My entire review was super accurate. Best of luck!

Terrible service nerver again.

Not recommended for large groups or corporate events.

We hosted a group of 30 employees, and unfortunately the experience did not align with the expectations or standards required for a large gathering. The event space was extremely cold, with old tarps hanging loosely and only a few underperforming propane heaters. At 8:30 PM, staff turned the heaters off without any notice, leaving our group uncomfortable and freezing for the remainder of the evening. At no point were we informed that we were expected to leave at 8:30 PM, even though the posted business hours online indicated the venue was open until 10 PM.

Our shuttle was scheduled based on the online hours of 10 pm however our group was forced to wait on a cold dock by the water for approximately 30 minutes, with no offer of assistance or alternative accommodations because they told us they were closed at 9 pm.

What was most unexpected, however, was that an individual who identified himself as the owner; later confronted one of our team members for posting an honest review about their experience. His response, both in person and online, came across as unnecessarily aggressive and dismissive, which raised additional concerns about how the establishment handles feedback and interacts with guests after the fact.

Overall, based on our experience, we do not feel this venue is an appropriate choice for large groups or corporate events that require reliability, professionalism, and ask for guest care.

I would give zero stars if I could. No one ate the “wings” they were nasty. They “holiday drinks” tasted like they were made by toddlers. Because who doesn’t love Malibu coconut rum rimmed with… peppermint? Oh yeah and service was shit. Manager was beyond rude and got in my bosses face. (Don’t worry it’s on video) all because we asked to get warm while we waited on our driver. That’s all. Find somewhere else to spend your money.

We stopped in for the views, first and foremost. We ate here once before but back before it was a full on restaurant. The service was good. Our waitress was nice and took care of us.
The food runner could do a better job of not putting his finger on the food he delivers. Both plates and the appetizer were meet with his wonderful thumb all up in our food as he placed it on the table lol.

The food itself was super bland. The onion rings had no flavor. Don’t be afraid to throw some seasoning in that breading. Same with the burger and fries. The burger sauce was generous but again, no flavor.

This is a small annoyance but if I’m paying $16+ per plate at a restaurant, I feel like we should get actual Ketchup bottles at the table and not served packets.

Overall it’s not a bad place. The views of the lake. The sound of the water are great. Just left me wanting more from the food.

Great spot out on Lake Grapevine. Food was very good and plentiful. They have trivia nights, music bingo, live music, etc. A great place to watch the sunset.
