Description

Tucked by the lake, this supper-club–style spot serves generous, reasonably priced plates — from perfectly cooked steaks to standout seafood and a memorable pot pie — in a clean, lovely deck setting with attentive bartenders and waitstaff. Ideal for anniversaries, groups, and road-trip discoveries, it pairs great views and timely service with a welcoming atmosphere. One small quibble: sizzling platters arrive cool, and the restaurant operates seasonally.

Absolutely awesome food and service was great also! Went there on a Saturday night and had steak and it was such great flavor and perfectly cooked. The only negative thing is that it wasn't real hot. With the sizzling platters they serve them on they are cold. If they would heat the platters it would keep the steaks hotter. Went again on a Friday night for fish and it was amazing. Our group had both the deep fried and broiled and it was fantastic. Once again the service was great as well! Thank you for the great food and service! So sad they will be closing for the season soon!

Chad's food was fantastic last year, and now that he’s the owner, it should be even better!

Excellent food and great service! First time eating there. Our family will be back! Hats off to the chef! 3 different dishes and all 3 were amazing.

Five of us had an amazing dinner on the deck, and we really enjoyed our waitress as well! We shared cheese curds, fish plates, the Olaf, and the pot pie, and everything was simply perfect. The pot pie features a delightful and unique mix of vegetables, a creamy sauce, and flaky pastry. We highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions, visiting guests, or simply a nice evening out!

My golf group and I have eaten here twice in the last few weeks and enjoyed our experience both times. We found the food portions to be more than adequate, priced reasonably, and very tasty. The waitstaff was friendly, engaging, and responsive during our visits. We will definitely stop by again in the near future.
