WOW! My husband and I went last night 1/10/25 for our anniversary. We sat at the tiki bar and had phenomenal service. The bartenders were attentive and friendly even with a busy patio which the two of them were also in charge of serving. Now onto the food! We split an order of the lobster mac n cheese, oh my goodness it was delicious! Tons of savory tender lobster! Paul came out and personally asked us if we enjoyed our meal. He was professional and took a few minutes away from his busy kitchen to make sure we were satisfied with our food. Talk about quality customer service! We will definitely be back to enjoy the beautiful lakeside restaurant soon!

I had the Bang-Bang Shrimp Burger (I think that is what it was called) They did a great Job cooking it to order! The fries/potato wedges were less than impressive (next time maybe go for the slaw).

Go for the food and the awesome view! Don't expect your service to be very attentive at all...just be patient. And keep looking at that beautiful view! I ordered the sampler for the table because we had a larger group and wanted to wait for everyone to get there before we ordered all of our meals. We chose the grouper, gator and lobster...and OMG what a surprise. The gator seriously one of the best done gator bites I've ever had, if not THEEEEE best! And was beyond ecstatic about the lobster - it was FABULOUS! Then I ordered the grouper, and although it was good, it wasn't as exciting as the lobster and gator. Still, I'd order ALL of those things again.... And the fries were really cool, big spiral-like. And they were very good too! Again, the service is not what you're here for...but we found that they'll work with you if you need to adjust seating on the deck to accommodate all your folks and you will get served...you may just need to jump in and request and help to make things happen.
