Food is good here but best to go during the week. We went Saturday night and it took almost an hour to get our food. I ordered the smash burger medium and it came out well done. The potato tots were over cooked. The mozzarella wedges came out after our meal. Service is good but the waitress kept apologizing for the delays in the kitchen. This restaurant is in a great location on the water. Mozzarella wedges are homemade and worth trying. read more

Sam was amazing. She was super friendly and very attentive! I had a great time with my family also. All of the food came out in a decent amount of time, still hot and was very tasty. It was a nice day outside and the patio seating was great. I will definitely be back. read more

The food was of the lowest quality. I ordered what I thought would be a safe bet, a double cheeseburger. It was two, two-ounce patties cooked very-well done and completely flavorless. It was served with 4 cups of kale salad. I will never go there again. Trader Joe's across the street has excellent food. The waitress, who tried excruciatingly to keep her composure, was not surprised at my reaction. However, when the bill came, I called her out on the bottom line. We had a $30 gift certificate, and when she subtracted that amount from the total bill, what was left would have cost us the same had she not deducted the $30. I asked for an itemized bill but she could never produce it. She came back with an adjusted bill that was suitable, but was not worth the quality or the quantity our purchase. The ambience was the best part except that it rained the entire time. I will never go to eat there again. read more

Nowhere to sit but hi-tops unless you want to sit on an old church bench. Service was average, had to ask for beverage refills. Food was fast unfortunately the only thing that was good was the chicken tenders, the other meals were not good at all. Not eating my food gave me time to kill the wasps that were everywhere. One plus it was clean. read more

Gave this place another try. I sat at the bar since I had the day off and wanted a burger for lunch. Burger was good, fries came out cold, but server happily had the kitchen make me fresh ones. Kitchen was just too slow again. My guess, is they have a small kitchen and it just can't keep up with orders even though they didn't look busy.. I guess if you're not in a hurry, want to pound down a few beers and chill on the river, stop by and give it a try since the burgers are good. read more

Sat on the patio and had a great lunch and drinks with friends. Never felt rushed and had the best servers you could ask for. Going back soon. read more

Came by today for another visit. It's Sunday mid day so there are more ppl than our last visit. The walleye sandwich was calling me. My side was a salad with house made honey balsamic vinegar. Yum. Hubby got the Italian sandwich with spuds. We should have split because the size of each was more than we could both eat. We brought home half our sandwiches for lunch tomorrow ! But yes this food is good!! I didn't see any offensive political signs like another reviewer stated. Maybe they removed them which is fine by me. Will definitely be back! read more

We went for a wmms event and let tell you... this place was "lit" (as the kids would say). Live music, on the river and tiki esque vibes. The service was great and the bar tenders attentive. Didn't end up eating but from what I saw the food looked good. If I lived on the east side I'd definitely make this a regular place to visit. read more

Came here Thursday April 20th and the service was crazy slow. But you say you are a tiki bar so I asked for a mai tai and the bartender said she did not know how to make it, the calamari was a greasy, confused mess hard pass on this place I also posted a picture on here of people taking their bras off and throwing them up on the walls we left it is not friendly to families respectable families that is. read more

The bartender should pay more attention to to the paying customers instead of of the off duty co-workers bitching about her night before. When you have to call for her more than once it's not a good look. What's really sad is the gentleman sitting beside the complaining co worker liked to be the owner and said absolutely nothing read more

The food was good but worst service I ever experienced. Our food took well over an hour and it took them more than 20 minutes to acknowledge us. read more

Go to bingo on Mondays its a blast. The prize money for bingo is outrageous And it's fun You won't win that much in a church.

The Ambiance is very family friendly and feels like your at a cool tiki oceanfront restaurant. The views of the river are amazing the music is a cool treat. The food is amazing we had lunch there on Saint Patrick's day and the corn beef was the best I have ever ate in my life. The staff is super friendly and the service is fast. The patio is the best of the east side they have a tiki bar on the patio as well. Definitely do not miss this spot and I love that it's a cool waterfront place that the whole family can enjoy! Best place for the sunsets!!! read more

Amazing food, so clean and love the bartenders and servers! Love this place so much!!!!

Great location, good food at a fair price - HOWEVER, I won't be back due to the offensive political signs everywhere. Politics and local businesses need not mix. read more

Love this place! Great family environment. Ive taken my boat there Ive also visited in the winter months. No complaints. The staff is courteous, food was great and environment was perfect. It's definitely the nicest restaurant on the Chagrin River! read more

Nice place , beautiful view , awesome walleye sandwich, friendly people. They have the best french fries around. read more

Beautiful setting by the river for dinner Ordered drinks and waters for 5 of us Our waitress brings a pitcher of water and 5 USED glasses stacked with used lemons and straws Should have been a sign it wasn't going to get any better One of our drink glasses was cracked and I made mention for her to make sure it got thrown away. She said nothing about it 4 of our meals came but not the 5th meal. Everyone was almost done before number 5 came. Not good. Didn't wanna make a scene, so I didn't ask to speak to a manager. Figured a review to prevent others from dealing with this was a better choice. read more

Went for a third time. Not real crowded, but had to wait for both drinks & food. Wanted a beer with my meal, but server never returned to fill my mug. She went by, so I showed her my mug was empty and she copped an attitude. Won't go back. Too bad, because the setting is beautiful. Second time in a row food & service were lacking. read more

great place for drinks from the boat. Cool place for sunsets. Easy access from road and the river. read more

Great atmosphere and service. Nice view of the river and the outdoor seating is nice.

This is one of the coolest spots on the Chagrin River! The food is amazing, I love the frozen drinks & who doesn't love an "island" vibe!! Everyone that works here is so friendly & fun!! read more

Stopped by on a beautiful Spring Friday night. Heard there was New Management. Parking was good, the place was crowded, figured, have a drink and a bite. Menu was interesting and I would've stayed had they had some rum. Hey castaway's Mount Gay Rum and boats/water are a staple. Your rum selection sucks. Capt Morgans is for people that have no taste buds. Even Meyer's would've kept me there. Pussers? Ever heard of a Painkiller? Alcohol compliments food, you need a beverage manager. Man, even some Black Seal and gingerbeer (Dark & Stormy) would've been a keeper. Ever been to the east coast, the Caribbean? A yacht club? No wonder Lake County has only one decent restaurant. Cleveland even less. Get some rum then I'll see what your food is about... wow. read more

I had the best goddamn sandwich of my life here. The crew was friendly and the view of the river was nice as hell. Get the Prime Rib Philly sandwich. Seriously. read more

No sauce no taste. We got one main dish before we ate our appetizer. The second meal came with the app. I know restaurants are having employee issues but this was stupid. Waitress staff was overwhelmed and I don't completely blame them. The back failed this day. read more

Tried the breakfast buffet, and would definitely not recommend. The bacon smelled like cigarettes and tasted like it as well. Ruined the whole experience read more

We went there last night which was a Tuesday. Considering it was hazy due to Canadian fires and rainy it wasn't very busy. With this in mind we ordered mussels and a basket of "hand cut" fries. It took 40 minutes to finally get food. The mussels were spoiled and the fries weren't hand cut. The girl who waited on us has no idea what customer service is and shouldn't be serving anyone. I'm sure it's a great place to drink on the River but don't expect much on the food side. It's wayyyyyy underwhelming. Anyone giving this a 5 star is most likely friend or family. If this place was packed you would wait over an hour for food. The staff is clearly not trained up! read more

Good food great location I had the river dog with prime rib chili onions and cheese the other day that was excellent definitely getting that again . Also they have a small breakfast all day menu I get what they call Just breakfast basic eggs cheesy tots toast and instead of bacon or sausage I add the steak with sauteed onions and mushrooms really good anyhow that's it give it a try . read more

Fantastic place, with great food, and friendly staff. Tiki bar open when it's nice out. Riverside dockage

This was our first visit and we were told by the waitress that she was the only one there so we understood the wait but left quickly when we looked up and saw the Trump flag. At that point we walked out. Other than that it's a nice place but they won't see any of our money and we'll be sure that everyone else knows it too. read more

My family and I have been here several times. We have always enjoyed it. The view of the river is beautiful and the boats! Quite a view we have, a hidden gem in Lake County. It's has a cozy feel with the patio being surrounded by trees. You feel like your on vacation there! Especially with the great white shark hanging on the wall, fun for pictures. We have always enjoyed our meals and they are reasonable priced. The service has always been good. This is one of my favorite places to go, I would highly recommended it! read more

What a total waste of our time & money. Seated ourselves to a table that had not been bussed yet but seating was scarce, so we took it. Waited about 15 - 20 minutes before I walked inside to the bar to get drinks myself. If we weren't meeting people there, we probably would have left. The bartenders had no idea what they were doing, ordered a margarita that had to be made 3 different times before he gave me a sub par version of what he thought was a margarita (ended up not drinking it) The other bartender had no interest in anyone other than the 3 guys she was flirting with while shaking her chest at them. Extremely unprofessional. It took 35-40 minutes to get our food once it was finally ordered. The salad was served in a basket with a piece of wax paper on the bottom of it. Certain things can be served in a basket but NOT a salad. Took another 20 minutes to get our checks after we asked our server for them. Don't waste your time or money. read more
