Topping at 89 degrees with a little breeze, it felt wonderful. A cute little lake view with a park for the kiddos. It was a decent place for any day outing. Just a nice view and something for everyone to enjoy their afternoon. Ryan's Pier had plenty of seating inside and out. A full bar with plenty of options. I ordered a margarita nothing too fancy but still really good. Menu was simple with burgers, wraps, quesadillas and a kiddos menu. A typical bar menu. Except Ryan's Pier was a total hit, and our new lunch time outing! Everything was really good! We ordered the kids cheese quesadilla, chicken wrap with onion petals and some homemade crab cakes. Everything was really delicious for our lunchtime and very much appeasing. Our entrees came out hot and ready! Didn't take no time! Our waitress and the staff were terrific! Nice smiles with great hospitality. The women were patient and pretty much laid back. Good service, nice view and great company is always a great time! Always my motto! Check em out!

I had a pretty mixed experience at George's Family House Restaurant…read more I'll start with the positive--our server Christine was amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about getting things right. She noticed right away that my steak wasn't cooked correctly and went out of her way to have it remade. Honestly, she's the reason this review isn't lower--she absolutely deserves recognition (and a raise). That said, the main issue was the food and how it was handled by management. I ordered a NY strip and eggs, medium rare, and the first steak came out closer to medium well/well done--very chewy and not what I asked for. Christine had it remade, but even the second steak was still overcooked. She even had me cut into it at the table so she could see for herself, and it clearly still wasn't right. (Second steak in the photo) When the owner came over, instead of acknowledging the issue, he insisted it was "pink" and basically dismissed the concern. Then, when I was paying, he told me that if I wanted it more pink next time, I should order it rare--which completely missed the point. That kind of response really left a bad impression. As for the rest of the food, it was just okay. The eggs and pancakes were decent, but the potatoes were only room temperature. Overall, great service from Christine, but the food consistency and especially the owner's attitude made this a frustrating experience. I'd come back for the service, but they definitely need to improve how they handle customer concerns.

I posted a glowing review for TapaTaco awhile ago. For this one it's a cautionary tale! Our table…read moreordered 5 mixed drinks; all of which were undrinkable even after the bartender tried to fix one of them. We switched to beer and wine which were fine but I'd say for sure to stay away from mixed drinks here. We had shrimp ceviche which is a fine appetizer in a very tasty broth. The guacamole was also first rate! The entrees not so much. Our paellas' were far too salty but still passable. The beef tacos were also quite good. Staff were helpful but couldn't overcome the kitchen and bar issues. Also an inviting; old school type dining area that harkens back to kinder/gentler times. So a word to the wise: if you navigate well you can get a good meal at Tapa Taco but you must choose with discernment.
