Great experience! The food, the atmosphere and the service… all excellent. Only issue for me is how cold it always feels (thermostat set at 69 degrees) but I go prepared. You won’t be disappointed.

Atmosphere inside was way different than outside. Reservations don't work for outdoor dining which is sad.

Service was excellent. Food was hit or miss. Two specials-fried quail and NY strip were just not great. The quail was overcooked. NY strip had very strong smoke flavor, off putting. Fish almondine and rib eye were delicious. Nice location on the lake.
