    Patio view
    Eric L.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Well, good view outside for sure. Vast outdoor area that can accommodate large private parties. Bar outside. Staff great. Ladies were young and cheerful and helpful. Food good. Nachos looked amazing. Filet Mignon hit the spot. Crème Brulee was delicious.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    I worked with George to arrange catering for a party. I asked a few questions about their limitless…read moremenu, and he assured me that I could truly choose whatever I wanted. He helped me figure out how much food I needed to feed my guests. I ended up going with a cookout-style menu. He made great suggestions, like replacing regular size burgers with sliders to appeal to adults and kids, and they could get a taste of everything else that I was serving. The sliders, toppings, buns, and chicken breasts were arranged so beautifully that I put away my serving platters and set out the takeout trays. The food was delicious and a lot of my guests commented on how nice everything looked and how good the food tasted. The price was very fair and I didn't have to cook or clean much. Pasta and salad sides also were fair priced. All the proteins were gluten-free, dairy, free, and nut free. I will make a note, we didn't discuss temperature of the burgers so this was my fault, and I am only stating so that anyone else who orders makes sure to add that to conversation. the sliders were pink inside. I will order them well done next time, no pink, for the sake of them being in a warmer for the duration of the party and keeping leftovers for the next day. The leftover chicken and sliders were just as good the next day.

    Today we checked out this cool reszy bar the locals love this spot for the beer, reasonable drink…read moreprices & vibe that adds to the neighborhood. Laurie, the bar attendant, was friendly-awesome suggested her favs like Greek chicken pita w/ dill sauce & tater tots. She served yummy frozen cranberry sangria and apple cider slushies, Margarita w/ sugared rim, didn't miss. Wednesdays, Mexican night, the mucho nachos you can split with a friend, 3 for 5 taco specials, must try the Chorizo Burrito And some appetizers next time. GREAT stop try when you're in the area & HAVE A HAPPY JOY DAY Have a happy joy day!

The cooks forgot a second patty on one of my burgers. The French fries are yummy. I wish there were more tacos instead of 2. The building was really big, they need to put up a bathroom sign to help people where it's at. Overall, I would say it went well.

    We came here for my son's birthday and I had never heard of it before. It's away from the main drag…read moreso you really have to know where you are going. It's really a beautiful location along the river. I tried to make reservations which they said they don't take reservations, then when we got there, they wouldn't let us sit in a specific area because they said they were expecting a group of people so we asked about the reservation situation and they said they must be friends of the owner. Anyways, the food options are very good. They even have pizza. So I have no problem with the food or the location, it was more just bad service and a big mixup on one of my friends meal and so he had to watch while we all ate. He didn't get an apology from anyone which surprised me. I got the power bowl which was very good but I was confused when they brought it because it didn't look like a bowl full of ingredients, it was like a plate of ingredients more like fajita ingredients. But like I said, I did enjoy it very much. One of the people in our party got a salad with salmon on it, and she said it was very heavy with spices which she didn't think she saw listed in the menu. One of my sons got a pizza and he absolutely loved it and then two people got hamburgers which they loved also along with the great french fries. Although I only gave it three stars, I would come back here again hoping that maybe it was just one bad waitress. She rarely checked on us. In fact I don't think she checked on us at all because I had to flag her down to get carry out boxes and she didn't bring a lot of the Side ingredients we had asked for like someone asked for ranch dressing, mine was supposed to come with sour cream and salsa, and another person didn't get their side of cheese.
