“This past weekend, a group of five of us had a fantastic meal at the waterfront restaurant. Our service was exceptional about our team members, but our server Kaya, was especially wonderful. we all started our meals with beverages. I personally had the pea’s knees mocktail, and it was really good. Not too sweet and really very satisfying .One of the specials (salmon) that was the appetizer was so good, as were the other appetizers and salad (The Burrata salad is what we had and it was very good). We all ordered the exact same meal, which was their current pasta on the menu. It was an herbaceous pappardelle pasta with a lemon whipped feta. It was by far the best pasta dish. I’ve had a restaurant in years. The pasta was perfectly made. The sauce delicious in the whipped feta, just elevated it even more. We also indulged with dessert and again had one of the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had (I am not a crème brûlée fan) And a slice of the carrot cake which had some hints of brown butter in it it was just divine. Be sure to go outside and take a look at the water. If you’re not at a waterfront table, the sunset is stunning. Be sure to make a reservation however they do take walk-ins if there’s availability. Don’t miss a chance to dine in here! It was absolutely wonderful.”
“Wow - blown away by this place. First of all, came in off the street - the hostess was so sweet and was able to seat us right away despite having a larger group. We were seated with a nice view and our waitress was so so nice, she told us all the specials and talked us into some oyster shots - which were surprisingly outstanding. The drink I got was using a pea infused vodka which was unusually refreshing and I mean, look at that presentation 😍 For the food, whitefish dip was also unusually good. The best thing was the steak with potatoes and carrots. The other star of the show was the sweet potato. I had high hopes for the pasta but unfortunately was a little let down , I liked other things more than this entree. Overall, I was to come back to this place I liked it so much. Ambiance, food and service all on point.”
“We enjoyed our dinner on a recent visit. We'd booked online in advance - something I appreciate. Whether it was luck of the draw or our online booking, we got a great table with views out to the lake. We started with some Calamari with fried zucchini. I could quibble and say we might have preferred a bit more of the fried zucchini but it was an otherwise tasty dish and the sauces with were good. Thumbs up on the Garden Gimlet cocktail. And the wine list was good. We chose an easy to quaff Barbera. Our mains included both the local whitefish and some halibut. Both quite tasty.”
“We had a great dinner at the waterfront restaurant. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Our food was great. Salmon and whitefish The only issue was we were celebrating a birthday and we were sat by the patio door where allot of traffic in and out. Hard to enjoy the entire celebration. Too away from the moment”
“We were looking forward to a wonderful evening at a recommended restaurant. We made a reservation three days ahead. And on the day of the reservation they changed it to later. I called them. They did not see the change. Then hung up me. Be careful! They may change your reservation.”
