    Crab fried rice

    Service was great, amazing views, and food was amazing! I highly recommend especially for a special night out.

    Very cute location. It was pretty busy for a rainy day. There is a back room but it doesn't have a view. They tried to put us there. The lake is only for looking, only residents can use it. The clam chowder was good but my burger was even better. The drinks were well made as well. Hopefully I can come on a sunny day. They open for lunch on May 5th.

    Went on opening day. Beautiful location and view of the lake. Sat at the bar with a friend. We shared a burger (came out medium rare and not medium) We also shared the fried calamari ( was so excited to see it was gluten free). Some of the calamari was very salty. The VIP which is their pineapple drink was bland and boring. My 2nd drink had jalapeño in it and it was delicious. Prices were slightly high for area. Hoping they add Happy Hour specials in soon. Overall great experience for opening day and would go back.

We did finally get drinks and shortly after we're told a table was available. It took quite a while before our waitress showed up. Since we already had drinks she was ready to walk away but we wanted to order a pretzel. She took the order, pretzel arrived more than 15 mins later, but it was delicious. It was good we had something to munch on cause our dinner, 2 burgers and a flatbread, arrived 45 mins later. The burgers were wrong, she said she had 2 Cali burgers. My husband ordered a cheeseburger, I did order the Cali. I took one, they sent the other back for correction. Once I went to eat mine I realized it was not a Cali burger. That had to be returned also. Both burgers were ordered medium rare, they were cooked well done. My friend did enjoy her flatbread. The manager did come by with a half hearted apology. She offered free dessert, we're not dessert eaters so did not accept the offer. Looking back, we should gave taken dessert to go. I wouldn't go back. I felt not one employee offered good service.

I had my back to the bar, but from what I was able to see this is a very cozy place. Service was quick and attentive, and we did not feel rushed and were able to enjoy a pleasant time chatting. Drinks: the black walnut Manhattan, Fig jam old fashioned, wine , beer and port. Drinks were all excellent, i tasted the Manhattan and enjoyed it over the Fig Jam. For apps: Clams oreganato (the couple with us enjoyed this), flat bread (was much more like pizza than flat bread, but still tasty, per my husband), and on the special New England Clam Chowder which was very good, not too thick and decent and fresh clams in it. Entrees: Shrimp Risotto scampi, very flavorful Risotto cooked perfectly. Two of us ordered the Cajun Mahi Mahi, over spinach with mashed, and 2 shrimp. the Cajun sauce was tasty with the perfect amount of heat, shrimp and mahi-mahi fresh and cooked perfectly. Rigatoni Bolognese which my husband enjoyed and said it was almost as good as my Italian mother's (like a good son-in-law) lol Dessert: Crème Brûlée - Brûlée was perfect, the crème was a little too thick for me. I ate it and enjoyed it, but not the best I've had. My husband ordered the key Lime Pie happy that it did not include nuts in the crust as some do, he thought it was good. Overall we had an enjoyable albeit pricy meal with good service. I would come back if other's wanted to go but it would not be my go to place.

Rather than sitting in the bar area, we asked to be seated in the dining area. There were a few typical bar items on the menu - burgers, fries, and chicken wings. And then there was a serious side, which is what we ordered from. The beet salad and agnolotti were wonderful. My strip steak was excellent. The wine, a Daou cab, was exceptional for the $45 price point. The selections were all reasonably priced. Looking forward to the WC party and many more trips, despite living 40 minutes away.

We ordered a few things. Spicy Tuna Tartare: wasn't spicy, didn't taste fresh which wasn't a deterrent to me as this isn't a seafood restaurant or fine dining. Next time I'd pass on that. Bavarian Pretzel: amazing. Very tasty. Came out nice and hot. That rarebit cheese sauce? Oh honey that can come home with me anytime. Absolutely delicious. And this is coming from someone who hates that fake cheese, cheese whiz type taste. Margherita Pizza: didn't come out hot which is probably why I wasn't a fan of it. It was pretty mediocre for such a basic pizza. And the food didn't come out all together, so not sure why that didn't come out hot. Wings and waffles: Tasty buffalo wings. The waffles actually taste like funnel cake which was a nice surprise. THEN. The burger came out and that is why this review dropped. It had a small hair on the side of the plate and a closer look at the rest of the plate, you'll see a long hair on the pickle. That was disappointing but happy to have tried the place nonetheless.

The atmosphere is warm, lively, and always welcoming, whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening.

Perfectly rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it's the kind of dish you end up craving long after you leave. It's also a great place for date night or hanging out with friends.

Otherwise you'll be on top of others by the bar aka don't be that annoying kinda person.
