                  The food was subpar. I was expecting good to great based on the rating (4.6). The lobster bisque was just okay. The fried clams were soggy. The lump crab and avocado had some weird sauce poured all over the jumbo lump crab meat with a hunk of avocado next to it accompanied by an uncut sheet of red peppers. There was a crazy display of dueling pianists performing obnoxious renditions of Billy Joel, Elton John, and Cat Stevens classics. It was nonstop, loud, and disruptive unfit for creating any reasonable dining ambience. The whole event was a ____show fiasco. I won’t be back.

                  Everything was great however, the intake process of getting your table could have been better. You first wait in line with a reservation at the outside person. They then have you wait for a text outside. Once you get the text, you go to the inside podium where that person tells you to wait in the gift shop. After all that waiting with a reservation , they will then seat you. Seems a bit much to me .

                  Never had a bad experience. The service is impeccable. And of course the views on the lake .. the only little difference was the the portions were a bit smaller
