I gave the ambience a FAIR because the restauraurant was too cool. Don’t you have a furnace? It is November and you’re right at the lake. Let’s warm the place up.

The noise level was quite loud. Minor distraction. John our server was fantastic. Friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. My wife had the halibut special and I had the French onion risotto. Both were great. The wedge salad and minestrone soup were very good also. 5 out of 5.
