Sometimes, the feeling just hits me to write a review. When the service is this good (thanks Angela) and the food tates outstanding, you just have to share. We also had drinks that made it clear the bartender knew what he was doing. You need to experience this place!

This little restaurant on the side of the road is unassuming, but has great food and friendly waitstaff. Our server Brittany took great care of us. The food was delicious. Each person got something different, with shrimp scampi, Cajun tortellini, the corned beef special (St Pats Day), and a pizza. The only complain about the food was very little sauce on the pizza. Still delicious, though on the dry side.
Would definitely recommend. Price was higher, but for the food and service, it was worth the experience. Also may want to reserve a table, either through their site or online.

Although I don't get back to the lake very often I used to live nearby and frequented your establishment quite often. Always pleasant experience wonderful food great staff! Especially like when you offer your fish entrees I prefer the halibut and my fiance loves the chilaen bass. Made a reservation for this Sunday and looking very forward to coming back!

2/2/2025 10:00 am reservation Frequent this restaurant often for dinner and always love it. First time for Sunday Brunch with 5 people. After ordering, waited 70 minutes for our breakfast and the place wasn’t very crowded. Waitress kept apologizing and refilling our drinks. Thankfully, food was hot and tasty when we finally got it.
Not sure what i was expecting, but got more than I could have wished for. Fried pickles starter were really good. My Tex Mex salad delivered. The Napoli Chicken (kind of like an inside out cordon blue) made me feel under dressed in my jeans and polo as it had fine dining flavors. An $18 entree with $30 fineness. We got the bread pudding to go and it didn't suffer that we heated it up at our VRBO. On top of all of that, our service was dynamite. Our waitress was attentive with a wonderful personality. My water glass was never empty and we never felt pressed to pay. As a matter of fact she picked up our body language perfectly as to when we needed something and were ready to leave. It was an amazing first experience that has made me jealous of people who live in the area. A big reason I will be visiting SML area will be to make a pilgrimage back to Napoli Cowboy! Thank you!

My family enjoyed a fantastic meal with friendly service. Our server was attentive and paid attention to details and was willing to make adjustments to get our good just right. I enjoyed the diversity of the menu and ordered a $6 Tex-Mex salad that any other restaurant would have charged me $8-12 easily. I also tried the $16 pasta primavera with marinara and blackened chicken (+$8). It was delicious and I barely made a dent in my portion and have tons of leftovers. Other orders at our table included a 10oz prime rib special with a starch and green beans for a reasonable $28. The meat was tender and juicy and cooked as requested (medium). Additionally, a member of our party tried the classic cheeseburger and fries and cleared his plate. The kitchen even delivered his request of crispy fries due to the high level of service the server provided. Finally, we each had a creme brulee which was as good as any I've ever had. We had a reservation with no wait. I'm visiting from out of town but visit at least yearly and will definitely be back.
