Drinks came out very late, were not make correctly (espresso martini was just baileys with coffee liquor). Food was also not good. Would not return.

The service at the restaurant was horrible we never saw our server. My mother in laws dinner was horrible. She had clam chowder which was cold and no clams and she order a MEDIUM stake which came out MEDIUM RARE but she couldn’t give it back or complain because our server was non existent. I would warn people to just stick to the breakfast for the lakeside because you will just be disappointed with dinner!
