We Have lived on the coast for 23 years and never been to Secrets on the Lake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid of us, we have now been twice in a couple of months and have a lot to catch up on. Lets start with the staff .... Fabulous I promised Summer that I would write her a review and neglected too, sorry Summer I should be scolded for neglect, Not only Summer but all the staff are so caring , courteous and kind. The food is Beautiful and the entire Restaurant is so intriguing and amazing. One cannot help but go away without talking to people and saying " Go There, you will love the whole Package " Thank you for a most enjoyable Day.
