   The service was outstanding. The staff was so nice, we felt bad that they weren't home for Thanksgiving! The food was very good but since it was a buffet, some things were a bit dry but very tasty overall. Great variety to eat. Freighter's was very clean and quiet for dinner. It was nice to be able to sit and chat. We were not rushed out the door. We will be back. Again, thank you to the staff!

   We sat out on the patio. What an amazing view seeing freighters coming off the lake. There was a wedding going on in the courtyard, which everyone eating on the patio was interested in watching as they were enjoying their dinner. I had the fish tacos. It was the best fish tacos I have ever had. My husband commented that the presentation was very nice as the food was delivered to the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner on the patio. It was perfect. Our waitress Sarah was very good.

   Party of 6, everyone really enjoyed their meal. My steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the side dishes were delicious 😋.

   There is nothing served between 10am (when breakfast ends) and 11am (when lunch begins). So don’t make a reservation between 10am and 11am.

   Arrived at the restaurant we were seated. There were crumbs on the chairs. There was also flies. Flying in the restaurant service was adequate friendly. The food was good. somewhat pricey, but the view was good!

   I've been coming here for years. Menu never changes, which is a downfall. Lots of "pub food"...fried and expensive, and the portions are getting smaller. You're basically paying for the view.

    We sat outside and our server Rick was awesome. He was managing some pretty big parties, but was still extremely attentive to my husband and I. The Beef Short Rib was amazing and my husband's steak was delicious too!
