Decided to go for a nice day ride and I found this spot on Google maps. The view of the lake is so relaxing and the pizza was spot on. All I can say is I am eagerly awaiting my next visit to try some more food.

An amazing place on a beautiful lake with great staff, like new waiter Antonio, who brings old world professionalism and charm. Chef Jimmy perfectly executes the most amazing seafood dishes. I love that they have gluten free options.

It's out there. And for the only game around you get what you get. The service was prompt and kind. The food was wanting. Portions are great, but there's a lack of something in the fare. I wish the website was clear that it was BYOB. After a pleasant drive, we were looking forward to a cocktail or a pleasant glass of wine. Sadly, we were left to only enjoy some sweet tea.

Wonderful food and the sweetest people serving. Three different people came by our table to make sure everything was perfect. Will go back again. Would love to eat out on the deck when it gets a bit warmer.

We gathered for my adult Granddaughters birthday. Our drink order was taken immediately and our drinks arrived quickly. And then refilled. Then our order was taken. Our drinks were topped off again. It was close to 50 minutes after our order went in till we actually received food. So 90 minutes after being seated we finally got to eat. I ordered the spinach salad with grilled chicken. It was all ok nothing to brag about. Close to finishing my salad I found a 2 inch piece of plastic in my spinach salad. I told the server she just laughed and said I'll tell (some name of a person) and that was that. Not impressed with the food.

The food is delicious. I had their seabass & shrimp special & it was cooked to perfection. I went at night so couldn't really enjoy the view, but I will definitely be back to enjoy the view on the patio during the day. It's BYOB so don't forget your bottle of wine. They have a wine opener if you forget yours.

I struggled with giving what I thought was a fair rating of this place. I wanted to give it a full 5 stars. To begin with, I only ordered a pizza that my wife and I shared. Pizza is only a small part of the menu's full Italian offerings. I feel like I should return to try other items on their menu. The pizza was good but not exceptional. Our service was good and friendly. We ate outdoors on the patio next to the lake. Of course, this dominates the atmosphere of the place. The building itself is mostly in keeping with many of the cottages on the lake. While not primitive or spartan, it is plain and simplistic. An added treat was a seaplane that practiced landing and taking off on the lake while we ate. Were it not for being located almost an hour from where we live, I believe we'd go here periodically.
