    Perch sandwich was on point!
    Krista B.

    After a busy day on the strip, all I wanted to do was sit down and have a nice dinner with my family. This place was moderately busy, not slammed for a Saturday night. The lake view was gorgeous! The food took an exceptionally long time to arrive. We started with the crab cakes. They were tasty, but overall quite mushy. I've read other reviews where people rave about them. About how crispy and wonderful they were. Not even close. We then ordered 2 Angus strip steaks on a stone and a Mahi tuna on the stone. After we placed our order, our waitress disappeared. Like it was a magic act. No refills were offered, no checking in with us. Nothing but crickets. We had to flag down other servers to get anywhere. Our dinner took damn near 40 minutes to arrive! We almost got up and left! (In hindsight, we should have! ) Every other table around us was receiving excellent service! A group even came in 20 minutes AFTER US and received their dinner BEFORE US! The steaks and tuna were exceptional! It's a really cool concept to cook your food as you like over a super hot stone! However, I have a major complaint as far as the sides go. For the price point of those dinners, using instant mashed potatoes was not okay! C'mon, guys! I know you can do better! This overall experience was very disappointing. Especially for the amount of money we spent there. We ended up letting a manager know about our situation, and she was nice enough to handle it immediately. She adjusted our bill accordingly. Unlike our waitress. I won't say names because I don't want to ruin her, but we'll call her C. Shame on you, C! I've worked in the service industry for 13 years and I would never act that way towards my customers! But, I digress. Some people just have no integrity. Obviously, we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone.

    Food was solid. Served with a smile. Nice outdoor seating view of the Lake. If we ever return to Geneva on the Lake we will definitely eat here!

    We love GOTL Brewery! We come every time we are in GOTL and I always get the Mahi Mahi. The real star of the show though is the risotto!!! Other great options are the crab cake sandwich and the Wagyu burger. AMAZING! Not to mention the view is nice too

    During a long weekend in GOTL, we were all a little underwhelmed with the food options in town, so I wasn't really expecting one of the best meals to be at the in town brewery. But I'm pleased to have been wrong! They have an extensive beer/cocktail list, with only a few house brews. So I got a can of peach cider that was on the sweet side, but very good. For my meal, I opted for the honey garlic chicken, with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was falling apart, which is hard to do, and oh so good with the honey garlic sauce. Fresh green beans, well cooked, and the mashed potatoes were a hit, too. We really enjoyed the meal and the outdoor patio is great, but there was a storm rolling in so we didn't enjoy as much of the view as we had hoped. Still, a great meal, friendly staff, and a nice end to our vacation!

    THE view of the lake! We were looking up and down the strip for a place to grab a beer and simultaneously view the sunset over the lake. GOTL has a PERFECT view that so many spots nearby don't offer. They should advertise on the view alone. We got beers and sat on their patio directly on the lake. The house beers are great and they also have food options. The servers were nice and so kind knowing that we were only there to see the sunset and grab a quick drink. I cannot emphasize enough that this is the place to be to see the sunset on the lake.

    So this place has been on my list for the last few years as we go to Geneva one weekend a year and this year, I finally got to try it. It did not disappoint. There's both indoor and outdoor seating with great views. The beer selection is vast. Hubby loved the banana bread beer! The food we had was very good though I wish I had gone for the steak. It literally cooks while it's on your table! Instead, I opted for a burger with potatoes. Very yummy! Our waitress was great about splitting the bill between our family and our friends even though we were intermingled at the table. The menu noted that there would be an automatic 20% tip on tables of 8 or more but she didn't charge that so we were sure to tip extra. Can't wait to go back next year.

    The view

    All the food was delicious. I got the filet on the black stone, the red potatoes, and the green beans. The flavor of the filet on the stone was phenomenal. The red potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The green beans had good flavor and cooked perfect. They were firm and not floppy or limp like most places. My husband got the Gorgonzola steak tortellini and that was just as delicious. Our view was overlooking Lake Erie and was also beautiful. Our service was a little slow but the only server I noticed was ours so they may have been understaffed. Next year if we stay close by we will definitely be back.

    Certified Angus Strip W/ Garlic mashed potato's and waffle fries, Jumbo Pretzel, Walleye Sandwich W/ Waffle Fries

    I don't know where to even start with this place! The service was incredible and fast. The food was amazing. I got the Certified angus strip w/ garlic mashed potato's and waffle fries. The angus was brought on a volcanic rock slab and cooked while I was sitting there and eating sides. It was one of the best steaks I've had. The potato's were also just as amazing. I was to full to eat all my fries but they were okay a little to crunchy for me but good. I also got the Mermaid Water which was so good! I would recommend this place! The view of the lake was also very pretty I couldn't see a lot from the side of the bar I was on but it was a nice day and pretty out. It also felt very homely and felt familiar to be at.

The clientele tends to be the biker fans and I mean this as in what to expect, more than forewarning. Walking in the front door you will need to go around a pool table and perhaps pause to allow the player take their shot. You'll need to pick your own seats, inside or outside. The bar is largely open to the outside and has a leisurely atmosphere. I chose a seat near the front of the bar looking out toward Lake Erie. Our server (Boots) doubled as the bar tender. Boots was polite and efficient. She was very familiar with the menu and was able to answer any questions. For an appetizer we settled on the Cheese Curds. We had two craft beers from a modest list. The beers were cold and hit the spot. The curds arrived shortly thereafter. They were hot and tasty, accompanied by a side of ranch. I had the Cajun Shrimp Burger (medium) and a side of Tater Tots. My wife ordered the Grilled Chicken Wrap with the Fair French Fries on the side. Our entrees arrive in a timely manner. She was satisfied with her wrap, saying it was "good". If you aren't familiar with what a "fair french fry" is and I would be in that group, they are thinly sliced potatoes. Thicker than a shoestring and thinner than a standard fry. They are deep fried until brown. My burger was overcooked to well done. I didn't get much Cajun flavor but it was a good looking sandwich. The shrimp were large. Even with the negatives, it was good! The tots were perfectly cooked. As stated earlier I've eaten here several times and never been disappointed and the prices are reasonable. Give it a try!

I told him it included vermouth, he informed me they had no vermouth. I ended up enjoying a Comfort & Coke!

We also ordered food and it took quite awhile ( 1 hour+), for 2 tuna fish sandwiches and fries/chips. Again, we believe there was only one cook on duty and the place was busy.
