Come for the delicious food, the refreshing drinks, the attentive staff, and the stunning view. But most importantly, come for the food. I assure you that you and your dining partner(s) will exchange amazed glances and wonder why you hadn't visited sooner. Then, you'll fall into a comfortable silence, savoring dishes crafted with creativity, the freshest ingredients, and the passion that only a talented chef can bring to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Enjoy the vibrant sun as it sets over the lake, relax as you soak in the attentive service, and sip on your expertly made cocktail. These are all lovely perks, but above all, come for the food.

When we arrived, there was a menu at our table featuring our anniversary celebration. We've dined here 4 to 6 times before, but this was by far our best meal yet. The crab cakes, salad, beef, wild boar, and desserts were all exceptional. Once again, our server was delightful.

I enjoyed the Swordfish with shrimp and lobster sauce, while my husband chose the chef’s signature Duck Confit. The crab puff appetizers were the perfect way to begin our meal. Our server, Mary, was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent service. We will definitely return.
