Food and cocktails were great! Our server was very acclimating as we had to move tables. Fun atmosphere!
Food was great! Service was as well. It was definitely not a quiet ambiance though. We went during a Georgia football game. Not the restaurant's fault, but it was noisy! We were hoping for a view of the lake but with it being cold outside, the plastic curtains prevented a view. Probably would be nice in the warmer months.
Good service and tasty food continue. On a Thursday night around 6:45, not too busy and got seated and ordered in under 5 minutes. I ordered the fish tacos and she had the salad with salmon on top. Food was tasty and hot. Eating on the lake is always nice. We will be back.
It took me a while to come and eat here but I am so glad we did. The atmosphere is great, like being in the keys... very casual. Service from our waitress couldn't have been better and the food was pretty good too! We sat at a hightop next to the water, had a couple of drinks & watched people coming in and out with their boats. We ordered nachos, fish dip, potato skins & fish and chips (which we had fries and onion straws-YUM!) All were perfect. We will continue to be back and bring our guests from SoFla :-)
There are many places to eat by the lake but I particularly enjoy this place! Yes there is usually a wait but it's worth it and you can always grab a drink at the to go bar while your waiting. The food is really good and so is service ! Our server Bacon was awesome he recommended us to great drinks and the food came out fairly quickly. The live music was great as well! I have zero complaints about this place !
Nice view of the lake Lots of outside or covered places to eat. We got kids meal corn dog, adult grilled cheese, blt for desert you must have the milton lava cake or the funnel fries!
