    It was my Sons birthday and they made it so special. I toast of champagne and a birthday dessert. Service was outstanding and just loved the ambience. One of our favorite places for special occasions. I bit pricey but stellar food and service.

    Great view, lively (sometimes almost too loud) atmosphere, creative dishes and a service team make for a good special occasion outing.

    Regret not having tried this sooner. Lake park bistro vibes but lake country serenity. Will definitely be back.

    A beautiful restaurant and service was lovely. Has a view of the water! Was surprised by a birthday dessert. Lovely people. The menu was disappointing and what we ordered was okay. Scallops and Grouper. For the price expected better food.
