All I can say is WOW! I took my boyfriend here for
Father’s Day and we are still talking about the whole experience to our friends and family. We had the sticky shrimp for our appetizer and we could’ve eaten 8 plates of them! For our main course, I had the 12oz Ribeye which was plated beautifully and cooked to perfection. He had the Bourbon glazed salmon and again, beautiful plating and the sauce was phenomenal. I asked for a glass of wine to pair with my steak and it was a perfect match. For dessert we had the Crème Brûlée and the Limoncello which just melted in your mouth. Great cocktails before and after dinner and the bar area is so cool! The owners are amazing and take such pride in everything they do. We are going back this weekend for what I’m sure will be another amazing experience. Easily one of the best meals either of us have ever had.

Staff were very friendly and we were seated quickly. The fried calamari was a great appetizer and my wife’s Chilean Sea Bass was amazing! Unfortunately my beef fillet was heavily charred, leaving a burnt taste after each bite. It looked like the bearnaise sauce was trying to hide how charred the fillet was. I will definitely get the sea bass next time.

Incredible bartender Mike! Make sure to ask for the old fashioned with huckleberry syrup and peach bitters! Incredible flavor and best drink of the summer! Don't forget some tasty apps, we enjoyed the shrimps, oysters, and loaded tots

Food was delicious and a great menu of choices. The teriyaki chicken with sweet mash and Brussel sprouts was delicious. The chocolate flourless cake was great! Great service too! A little bit of a wait because two parties had just came in ahead of us. But our waitress took care of us. :)

Food was great….not a fancy restaurant, but it is in a marina…… our only complaint was feeling rushed. Our waitress wanted to box up our dinners, even though it was evident we were still eating.

Recommend making a reservation ahead of time (luckily we did) came to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend and the service was amazing and the food delicious!

Great place, love the staff there! Food is consistently good. We live down the road, so go there a lot. I would just like to see a little more variety with the menu. The few specials offered are generally high priced and not necessarily what interests me. Love to see more sandwich or wrap options or moderate/medium priced meals. If you order a meal, be sure to ask them not to stack the dishes unless you don't care if your veggies play with your meat choice. They will stack the protein on top of your side dishes, which, to me, don't always go together well. I didn't realize they automatically stacked them until I finally asked. Reservations are usually required. We've never tried to go there without them. There is a nice bar where you can either eat at the bar or at tables in the bar area. It is on the water, so you can go by boat, but not a ton of boat slips available. We can usually find one if we go by boat. There are plenty of parking spaces. This is located at Bernard's Landing.

This restaurant is quite a mixed bag!
Long review, tl;dr for other customers: The food is good, though I would say overpriced. FANTASTIC service. So so so loud and noisy in both indoor seating areas. Didn't see a drink menu posted online so I took pictures of what they have summer 2025.
The big stand out positive was the service. Our server Angela was incredible, she was so attentive and kind. The food was cooked to perfection, even the prep was noticeably high quality: my asparagus was trimmed perfectly to cut off the woody ends of each stalk rather than just trimming the whole bunch uniformly. The attention to detail and attention in general we experienced at this restaurant was second to none.
However, the level of thoughtfulness and attention brought to the work by the staff is matched inversely by the apparent lack of thought put into the functional interior design. It is SO. LOUD. in both the dining room and the bar area. Maybe this isn't an every day occurrence, but I was stunned that so many reviews said this was a good place for anniversary dinners - my party of 4 could not hear each other speak without leaning and this was on a random Thursday night!Had I known about this issue, I would have reserved a table on the patio just to avoid the literal headache my mother got. I recommend that the business owner invest in some baffling or noise reducing foam/tiles.
Also for the business owner: why does the door in between the bar area and the dining room open in only one direction? Why why WHY has this not been replaced by a door that swings both ways, like every other restaurant has?? I saw so many servers juggling 5-6 plates or a tray of drinks and having to balance everything to pull the door open with their pinky finger. That's insane and really unnecessarily difficult. Please make everyone's lives a lot easier, and either replace the door or prop it open.

sorry I ever went here obviously we were not wanted here....i will just leave it at that.
Terrible service for take out. Management seems to hate takeout business

We had a delightful dinner at Napoli By the Lake. My husband and I both had seafood and everything was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect, we were seated on the deck and no one else was there, the music was perfect and our service was incredible! Thank you!

We sat on the back deck overlooking the lake and loved the service, atmosphere, and food. My husband had the Chilean sea bass and I had the duck- both were excellent. The sweet potato mash was to die for. Their chocolate torte was very yummy. Great drinks and wine list, too. This is my favorite restaurant at SML.
