    What a great pop-up experience! We were a little concerned that the 1.5-hour time limit wouldn't be enough, but it ended up being perfect. From the moment we arrived, the festive décor and friendly staff set the mood. We were greeted with our holiday cocktail (so good!). The menu is limited for the pop-up, but the flavor certainly isn't! We ordered the sliders and split the burger--both were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We left stuffed! For drinks, we tried the Old Fashioned, the Grinch Punch, and Rudolph's Hot Toddy. All were creative, fun, and strong... no complaints here! Reservations are $15 per person for a 1.5-hour experience and include your first cocktail. Larger groups even get their own igloo

    Paloma

    The chips and queso were delicious, as well as the fried pickles. The drinks we well made. I had the Paloma and my wife had vodka sodas with cranberry. Good pours. I saw the food served for other tables, and the food looked good. Service needs to be better though

    I was just told about this hidden gem, and had to check it out. It's not obvious that there is a restaurant until you walk towards the dock. I love that they have open seating. With the weather being nice, it's the perfect time to enjoy the nice, large outdoor patio with a view of the lake. Parking was very easy to find since they have a huge lot. The service could be a little bit better. We had empty water cups, but the server didn't notice to refill those for us. I had the shrimp street tacos that come with beans and rice. The taste was overall average, but nothing beats the ambience and vibe of this place. It's the perfect location for families and groups to hangout.

    Location Scott's landing Parking Large lot Atmosphere Dockside marina restaurant Large stage for live music Boats can pull up to the dock. Seating ( I haven't checked inside) Low tables and chairs-great for groups Service So friendly and attentive! Menu So many choices! We got the mango shrimp ceviche. So yum! Not all chopped up but sliced shrimp with mango and jalapeño. Served with chips. I was surprised by the chips-they are dark, not much salt but lighter than they appear-yes, addictive! The cat fish bites were 2 fried pieces-large. We had the fries which were really good-some light coating-not heavily salted. Perfect lunch! Summary We love this place. I was really pleased with the generous serving of ceviche-it just kept going! ! Very relaxing afternoon hang out.

    I'm leaving 3 stars this time because there is some room for improvement with the food quality. The $18 jalapeno burger barely had any jalapenos on it and the $16 chicken bacon avocado sandwich only had 3 little slivers of avocado. We ordered double spicy margaritas and they brought us the drink with a shot on the side and they charged an extra $10 for a double so our "double margaritas" were $22 each. We also tried the painkiller drink which didn't taste like a traditional one and poor presentation. Still great service and ambience though.

    Cool place. Great atmosphere and staff. We went with our sons and It was cold so they put outdoor heaters on for us which was lovely. I got combo fajitas chicken and steak. The steak was a bit chewy, but overall good flavor. Onion rings were a big hit too. We will go back again sometime.

    We came here for the popup. Very enjoyable. Limited menu but the ham sliders and the smash burger were very tasty. We lucked out and got a good waterside table on a perfect evening. Very good but overpriced special drinks menu. Relaxing and fun.

    Crimson was very helpful waiting us at our table and the food was wonderful the bacon wrapped shrimp I highly recommend

    Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

    I went to Karma & Koctails and the food felt like a mix of comfort and bold flavors.The lamb chops…read moreand Lamb Manchuria had bold taste, though a little salty. The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

    In an attempt to expand our horizons for our Caregivers group, my wife and I visited CraftWay…read moreKitchen about a week ago. We felt like we had just hit a grand slam home run. The eatery is bright and warm. Our server, Chase, was friendly, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, professional in her service, and just fun to talk with. She recommended several different sandwiches. My wife had the Chicken and Fig sandwich (Chase's favorite) and it was fabulous. I had the Reuben and it was equally great. The presentation was excellent and the taste was even better. Instead of having fries with our sandwiches, we asked if we could have caesar salads instead. No problem! And they were wonderful. As the table near us was a party of 10, we observed the excellent service that they received so it was clear that CWK could easily accommodate our Caregivers group. And noise was not an issue as it in so many other places. We made a return visit and had an equally enjoyable experience. Kat was our server and she was also very attentive and knowledgeable. My wife again had the Chicken and Fig sandwich and I had the Ahi Tuna Bowl. Both were great--well prepared, attractively presented, and simply delicious. We saw Chase and visited with her like you would with a dear friend. Kat recommended their Brownie and Ice Cream desert which was to die for. Simply yummy. While I gave up alcohol for Lent, I saw Chase working the bar with great aplomb and the drinks she made looked fabulous. I know that once Easter has passed, I'll have some libations to look forward to. There is a friendly message on the wall to the effect that CraftWay Kitchen is your home away from home. My wife and I are proof positive that this is very true. Very highly recommended!!!

We sat outside and it was very nice and relax and we enjoyed seeing all the pets enjoying the atmosphere. Love the restaurant and will be back soon.

    This was my first time at Tycoon. I have been to Volstead and really liked it. They are similar,…read morebut Tycoon feels a little "fancier". The decor is very plush. I love the bar. I can't wait to go back and sit at the bar. Our waiter Shawn was great. Very calm, helpful and available when we needed him. The Lavender Lemonade is a delicious cocktail and a great way to start the meal. The Fat Cat Fries has so many flavors going on. They were good. I LOVED the Blistered Shishitos and Crabmeat Dip. The naan it was served with was warm and abundant. I do not like when you order a dip and hardly get any chips or bread for dipping. Tycoon covered it! Our friend had the French Onion Soup and liked it. The Steak Frites (substituted with broccolini) that our friend got looked amazing. My husband had the Wagyu Sliders and really enjoyed them. I had the Mediterranean Primavera with blacked chicken that our waiter recommended adding. It was very good. They have a nice wine selection. Not a huge list, but good.

    So I have been wanting to try Tycoon for quite some time now. I decided to make reservations there…read morefor Valentine's Day, which was probably my first mistake. I made my reservation on Resy. A couple of days later I get a call from the restaurant saying they needed a $25 deposit over the phone, in case we cancel. I have dined at a lot of restaurants but never have I made a deposit upfront, they would just have a card on file and charge it if there is a no show. The lady on the phone (Chelsea) said we would only have 90 minutes at our table, which is standard for most restaurants. Nevertheless we paid $25 and kept our reservation, since Valentine's Day is busy time I figured this was the reason for all of this. Upon our arrival we were seated right away, and as soon as we sat down the hostess let us know that they would need our table by 5:45pm, because that is when the next reservation would be there. Right off the bat I felt rushed. I hated the table we were sat in, because we were so close in proximity to other people. Tycoon is very pretty inside, but if you are not seated in one of their spacious booths, the other tables are so close together, you will definitely hear other people's conversations. Let's talk about the food, I ordered the Lavender Lemonade as my cocktail and that was really good. For our appetizer we had the Deviled eggs, and I was excited because I love Deviled Eggs, but these were just okay. I didn't love how over stuffed they were, I just felt like it was too much. For my entree I had the Chicken Parmesan which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought my meal was flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My husband had the sea bass and he loved his food. To end the night we shared their Dessert Trio and that was delicious, aside from the Creme Brûlée because that had no taste. Their service was good. Our waiter was nice and attentive. I definitely didn't feel rushed by him, but the same hostess stood near waiting for me to take my last bite of pasta so she could take the plate from the table. We were watching the time the whole time to make sure we got out of there on time. Overall I was disappointed. I get that Valentine's Day is busy day for restaurants but I don't want to be rushed through a dinner that should be enjoyable.
