Bree is the best! Being served by her makes the trip so much better. We love coming to visit and getting drinks, especially when it's warm outside. The chicken nachos are a personal fav and so is the pretzel app! read more

A sports bar but with gourmet food menu is how I would describe this place plus excellent views if you're dining outside during nice weather. I was impressed with their menu it was some classic dishes but some elevated choices like the goat & fig flatbread which was really good. The short rib and pork bolognese was delicious and very meaty. If they aren't making their own pasta they are definitely using a very high quality pasta. The salmon was good but needed a little more salt to balance out the flavor. And last but not least which was the recommended by our fantastic server is the Oreo peanut butter cup. Decadent and delicious, smooth peanut buttery filling with Oreo in a chocolate shell. I would recommend to anyone who loves chocolate and peanut butter. read more

I don't know where to start! This place could have so much potential, the new owner must me brain dead to have such a small menu that you can't even perfect each dish. First off coconut shrimp was good until you tried the sauce. How do you mess up the sweet sauce you get a most places with this recipe. Perch was ok, the mashed potatoes served with it runny and the gravy was disgusting. Now the pizza I was really looking forward to but man it sucked so bad! The crust was so floppy and soggy. I got an instant stomach ache after eating 2 pieces. New chef? Fire his a$$! Place was empty on a Friday night. Waitress was slow as molasses. We sat down at 7:00 didn't order food till 8:15! I wanted to freak out! Nobody was here so why take so long taking care of us? Beyond disappointed! read more

Avoid any buffet! Made a reservation for Mother's Day not knowing it was a buffet only. Nowhere on the website did it say it was buffet only. The food was just ok, desserts were great, but it was completely unorganized. They had the lines coming in from each direction. So everyone cutting. They gave us our flatware in damp linen napkins. The server sat us and told us there would automatically be a 15% gratuity charge. 30 minutes later she came by a thanked us for our patience as this was their first time doing a buffet THEN said her manager upped the gratuity charge to 18% because it was their first time doing a buffet. ‍ read more

Heard this place opened up this summer and had the chance to finally check it out! Was greeted with friendly faces had a beautiful bar to hangout at if you'd like. We chose to hangout on the patio where it looks like they have plenty of space and even area for live music. Service was great during lunch and everything the came out tasted great. This is going to be to be a new favorite spot nearby! read more

Went here to meet up with some new friends. Surprised they had a good amount of vegetarian options. Could have a bit more for us but the vibe here was good. Great patio and nice music playing inside. The service bit slow and took a moment for the food. Would not mind retuning her for a few drinks and nice view of the water. read more

As a local, I was so excited to see Gino's open up again last year! The ambience is fun with their live music and DJ's and they have plenty of outside seating that gives you beautiful lake views! I have been many times for the pizza which is delicious and they make the dough in-house. The Bianca Pizza and the veggie pizza are my favorite! read more

This place really has a lot going for it, and I want to see it succeed. The space is beautiful--modern, clean, and definitely gives off that "new and fresh" vibe. The food was good. A little pricey, but tasty. I had something off the main menu and enjoyed it, and everyone else at our table got pizza and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. I'd honestly go back just to try it for myself next time. Now, the service... that's where things fell flat. When we walked in, every table already had full glasses of water sitting out. I didn't love that. Personally, I'd rather have my drink poured at the table. It just feels more sanitary and intentional. We had a reservation for 10 people, and they sat us at two square tables pushed together, which basically meant the people at the corners had no space to eat. When we asked if we could have another table added, they said they were too busy and might not be able to do it. Honestly, if we reserved for 10, it shouldn't feel like we're being crammed in. To their credit, they did end up accommodating us, and our server was nice and friendly once we were settled in. Like I said, this place has tons of potential. The location, the food, the atmosphere--it's all there. I'm really hoping my next visit is a 5-star experience, because I'll definitely give it another shot. Just hoping for a smoother, more thoughtful service experience next time. read more

Loved the updates they've made made to the place! it's clean, fun, good music and they have live bands on weekends! food was delicious, staff was attentive and had great vibes. can't wait to be back this summer with the patio!! read more

We ordered the smash burger with fries . It was burned and dry ! It was redone and the hamburger was good but the fried were burned and dried ! Very good location, beautiful restaurant but the food and drinks are not very good Very slow service ! read more

8/25 Soft opening this weekend, grand opening on Sept. 20th. They're still working out the bugs in service as expected with any new restaurant with a soft opening. Very nice renovation, beautiful large patio with plenty of seating overlooking the lake. Comfortable patio couches lining the lake front edge of patio and an outdoor bar on the side. Indoor is spacious with again plenty of high top, standard tables, booths, large wrap around bar in the center. TV's lined up next to each other on the top of the walls, great for sports watching crowds. This is a very nice place for drinks and food with a beautiful view. read more

This place has been a part of my childhood, so when I saw it reopened, I had to go back. My husband and I had an amazing lunch, Chicken and Spinach Gratin was cheesy and fresh, the New England Clam Chowder was the best I've ever had, and the Gino's Burger was huge and made from prime rib and brisket. The Fish and Chips were crispy and fresh, finally, a decent version! The lakeside view was as beautiful as I remembered. Great service read more

Happy hour and outdoor patio are great in the summer. Nice happy hour drinks in the afternoon look at lake st Claire are worth the trip

I love coming to this place as a bar. Great ambiance, I love that it's on the water and they have so much outdoor seating. The security guy was pretty rude though when I came for an event. It is super underwhelming as a restaurant. The food is way too expensive and it's not very good. The chicken spinach dip or whatever was super watery. The calamari tasted like something they just took out of the freezer. The salads were dry and limp. The best thing was probably the pizza. The bartender also messed up our drinks and didn't know how to make a mojito. I want this place to succeed because I'm so happy they reopened it, but they need to fix some things. read more

Been wanting to try this place as it renovated and on the water. I stopped in for some drinks and food on a Saturday afternoon. It has a nice bar area and is quite big inside, has an outstanding patio on lake with an outdoor bar. Summer will be nice there on that patio. They also have bands in and on this day they had Glen Brooke singing! My food was amazing and worth the cost as it was a little pricy. They had some good beers on tap as well, I had Alaskan amber which I love. It was a good time and I will come back. The servers were very good as well very personable. read more

Gino's surf is a great place for food and ambiance. We had a wonderful dinner a few days ago and our server was wonderful.

We made a reservation for a table for 10- for my birthday on Saturday for a 7pm dinner party. The service was slow, table never got cleared, we constantly had to ask for refills on sodas , or drinks. When it's a Saturday night and you have a table full of people that have every intention to drink , dance and have a good time- you'll think the service would be on their game. Food was mediocre- typical bar food and a bit Over priced. It's a beautiful bar- patio /outside area could be such a beautiful highlight to a great summer night - just hopeful the service gets better. read more

Harrison Twp needed this place! With Luigi's being the only spot with really good quality food, the area was prime for another spot to open. We've been several times and have never been disappointed with the food, that atmosphere is very nice and the patio has the best view for miles. The service can be a little less than desirable at times, and maybe because the majority of servers there are not seasoned vets at the service profession. No big deal..grab another adult beverage while you wait and enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. When the food comes you won't be disappointed, decent portions and well prepared. The short rib pasta is nothing short of amazing. The Pizza is great and so are the burgers. Happy to see this place open and serving great food, having entertainment on the weekends. And plenty of TVs to watch the games! Harrison Twp needed this and a few more like it. read more

Awesome spot. Great venue. Thank god they changed the ability to sit in the back. Good job Gino! read more

Took my wife and mother for an early mothers day dinner today approx. 4:30 this afternoon, dining room was completly empty, bar 1/2 full, less tha 5 tables outside, our table we were sat at was never clared , had to ask to get it wiped down, drink were served on a dirty table, our server had a crappy attitude came back asked are you ready to order ? never given menus, food runner brings out food NO silverware, asked for water she brought only 1 glass, ordered medium rare tenderlion was well done as in cooked shoe leather.... do you think were coming Back...... crappy food , Shi__ty service. Good luck ! read more

Horrible service. This place deserves to be out of business. The view is better than the venue.

Great, new stylish restaurant awesome location, great view of the water. Everything went well. Food was really good but on the expensive side. The biggest thing they have ads running on a few TVs with specials and pictures of food and drinks and there's one that says home team game day specials so we're there for the third game of the Tigers wildcard game but of course the game day specials weren't for baseball just for football which I thought was BS if you're advertising specials for the home team then my thinking is it should be football baseball hockey. Whatever home team is playing. but of course they're too cheap to do that. Got to nickel and dime you for everything they can get read more

We popped in Gino's Surf on Valentine's Day with no reservation. Luckily they had a table available. We started with an Old Fashioned and a Cranberry Mule. Both drinks were tasty. We ordered chicken and spinach gratin for an appetizer. It was very creamy and cheesy with chicken and spinach. Delicious! Both of us ordered the salmon which had a Cajun sugar seasoning and came with garlic mashed potato's, green beans and sweet carrots. It was very tasty! The restaurant was lively and had a singer playing the guitar. The bar is very big with plenty of seating and they have tv's all around the perimeter if you want to watch the game. They also have a large outdoor patio for summer time so we will definitely be back! read more

Just okay. They couldn't figure out how to put on the nfl games. The food was above average but not worth the cost. The service was okay, but we wanted more. Overall, I would give them another try, but they really need to step up. Great decor and set up. I see potential. read more

I heard this place is awful! My Sister went on 7/15/25. They wanted to treat their guests from Sweden a really nice time to a water front establishment. They made reservations for a water view table. They were seated in a hot corner with very little visibility. They delivered their martini drinks in plastic glasses! Waited 45 minutes for appetizers. Food was not good . What an embarrassing nightmare! P.S.The tables with the view of water that they said were reserved were never seated the entire time they were there! read more

We just left Geno's. We were warm so we sat at the bar inside. Decently busy for a holiday and everything was excellent. Live music outside. Our main bartender was a guy, I believe his name was joe. Everyone was really nice and the manager tony checked on us twice. We will be back. read more

Good experience here but service seems to still be working out the kinks. One side of our table kept on getting refills while the other side wasn't even asked if they wanted any. Food was good and came out promptly. There were three tuna tacos and they were good but I did have to ask for salsa. While dining we saw a freighter so this will for sure be a hot spot just for the view. read more

I never post reviews, but honestly such a bad experience today (Father's Day). Had reservations at 1 pm and seated right away. Waitress was fine. Ordered drinks and food within 20 minutes of arriving. Didn't get our appetizers for at least 1 hour. Waited 2 full hours for our meals. asked for the manager who RELUCTANTLY came to our table and clearly did not want to hear our complaints. Finally got our food. Burger and sandwich were ok. Three $18-$20 salads that were served were PATHETIC. Literally missing main ingredients. They ended up comping our food bill but had to pay the inflated bar bill which was twice as much as normal because we waited so long for the food. Ruined Father's Day honestly. Never go here on a holiday. they are clearly not prepared for a large crowd. read more

Great new "old" addition to the area! Loved the new look, menu and vibe!!! Band was great...you could hear them and still talk!!!Hostesses were adorable and accommodating! Server, Connor, was good...a bit hyper...but sweet! We had apps...Brussels, tenderloin tips and mussels. All good...mussels were meh, a bit cold and maybe need some more oomph, garlic, cream, wine? No bread served for broth means your broth isn't good enough to make us want to drink it! Zip sauce was wonderful! Brussels were perfection and great portion. Soooo. My only issue is waaaaay too much action at hostess stand...eating, socializing, etc. when they could be doing more. We sat with empty plates for too long...while were walked past several times. We would've ordered more, but server never came back. Marianna walked by, asked me how everything was, I said ok. She immediately sat down and said, what's up? She took our plates and apologized. Saw her talk to our server. Assumed she was management, found out she was another server!! Wow. That is management behavior!!! Saved the night. Gave her tip and thanked her. We will be back because of her! And the food read more

Having grown up in HT I love they are reopening, the updates, and excitement around it. I have seen a steady flow of people there everyday. The space- they have a large indoor and outdoor space, and I feel they space the tables out well, so you don't feel you're eating with neighboring tables that may be around you. Staff-staff was polite and attentive without being overly intrusive, but still have some work to do anything bar related. My initial vibe while they are still training, and becoming familiar with what they offer was to stick to the basics. My initial question about wine, exposed my server had no clue when I was asking about a cab sav, I was asking about red wine, not white. I am sure this will change with more training, and a menu offering of wines by the glass. Food- I ordered a small pizza tasted pretty good, I would get it again but opt for different toppings. Additionally, our table ordered fish and chips. Definitely cut fresh fries, maybe slightly over cooked but I like them crispy, they were on the smaller side, but there was plenty of them. I didn't try the fish, but was told it needed some more seasoning in the batter otherwise good. I would say the pricing was fair $53 before tip, sm pizza, fish and chips, tall beer, and rum and coke. The fish came with soup or salad, and a side(which was the fries), but you have to tell them that's what you want despite the menu stating it's fish and chips. It fish with the option of chips. Not a big deal, but I can see that annoying some people if they don't realize it. Portions were very generous. I will be back and look forward to their continued growth. read more

my husband and I recently went there on a Thursday, and we had a very pleasant experience. The weight staff was wonderful, even though there was many waitresses in training, they were super sweet and cordial. Our meal was delicious. drinks were made perfect. The weight staff was wonderful. We can't wait to try another item on the menu. We had fish and chips, and it was delicious. The french fries were to die for. We will be back.and the view on a beautiful day makes it that much better read more

First of all, the wine I was served I buy at Meijer all the time. I ended up paying more for one glass than an entire bottle. Quality wine maybe but this? Second, the gratuity was added because of a large group, no problem. But 25%???!!!!!! Seriously? Then they charged sales tax, on the grossly inflated gratuity. THEN... they added an ADDITIONAL TIP of $6 after we left, to my friend's charge that she didn't give. That's shady AF. I have no interest in going back. read more

The 3 stars is for ambiance outside. The food was ok but nothing good. I wouldn't make this a destination for a delicious meal. Service was also ok but nothing good. Sometimes the servers seemed annoyed with requests. It's a good place to stop by for a drink with friends with a lakeview. read more
