The rugged mountains encircling three sides of the lake. There is a boat tour available at the marina. If you like to take the advantage of having a tour, call them before and know the schedule ahead of time. The menu is limited, but had several seafood options. The decoration is simple. Noise level above average. The parking next to the restaurant but sometimes hard to find one. I ordered fried fish with French fries. Love to have more seasoning in the fish. The restaurant was moderately busy. The pace of service was relatively slow. The view from the dining area outside was gorgeous. You can have a meal while enjoying the sunset. You can enjoy the changing colors of the mountains as the sun sets. You can smell the fresh breeze that blows over the lake. Enjoy the food with a view. The price of the food is reasonable, but having a meal with a great view is priceless.

We all split our plates and our server brought them out that way which is a nice touch, it's so annoying when you have to wait for the server to bring you a plate when they know your sharing. They even had the sides split for us. I can't wait to go back in the summer, enjoy the lake and have some lunch and a cold beer.

We weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Our food was pretty good. Now, it's not a gourmet, high class restaurant but it's great for before or after heading out on the boat. Both times we have had the same server and she was awesome both times. I see a lot of negative comments in other reviews, from our family of 5s experience, it was nothing like how horrible others have made it sound. We will definitely go back. It's very convenient.

Take my advice: don't stop by this restaurant, there's Fountain Hills nearby with really good options as far as dining with a view. And here's the problem: this is the only restaurant on Lake Saguaro, no alternatives. We were three people for lunch on a Friday, the place was empty. I made the terrible mistake of ordering the liver and onions. The worst liver and onions I've ever had. Ridiculously dry and tough, no flavor. I asked for more sauce but nothing, it seemed getting dryer. The salad then, don't make me start. Flavorless iceberg lettuce. My parents made a better choice with the fried shrimp. Service was also poor. The guy who served us can only be justified by his inexperience. He was absent the whole time. I had to call other waitresses around to get service. But then he brought the check in the middle of the meal. What good waiter does that? Bad. No more.

To eat somewhere else before heading to the lake as this is the only restaurant around that place. The food was awful. It was tasteless, more like frozen packaged food. We had the falafel which was wayyy over cooked and my fish tacos didn't even taste like fish. The cole slaw they put in it looked and tasted like it was a day or two old. Food was definitely not worth what we paid for. One star for the fries.
