Good atmosphere & great scenery. Best fried pickles I've ever been served…read more My group consisted of 3 couples (6 individuals total). Even when we rarely go out for boat days (usually in priest or old hickory) we avoid packed outdoor food venues, but it wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon here. No wait & plenty of outdoor seating with ample space between tables. One thing all of us mask wearers noticed was that the staff & servers were not masked at all, they didn't even have masks on them, & very few of the patrons coming & going had mask on either. Must be due to the geopolitical views of the people in the area. This concerned me & I kept my mask on the entire time except while eating since the staff were not masked & walking by closely and often. I won't let that factor into the review but it needs to be noted for others who look here for guidance. There were several drink specials & food specials made known to us by our server immediately & he was quick to fill our drink orders of mango habanero bloody marys & pontoon punch which are both highly recommend by our party. I ordered some fried pickles to split up & they are very different & exceptionally good. They are slivers of pickle spears fried in a manner that resembles fried green beans. Everybody raved about them & they were gone quickly. One order was almost enough to share for 4-5 people. Half of the party ordered club sandwiches & the other half ordered burgers & fish tacos. The fish tacos were stated to be better than Sams on old hickory & as good as some served on the Florida panhandle in PCB, Pensacola, Destin etc. the club sandwich was nothing to write home about, pretty basic & fairly bland. The Mac & cheese is well above average & could make the cut of the top 10 I've had in the middle Tennessee area. IMPORTANT NOTE. THEY CHARGE A 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. If I was on the lake I'd probably come back, I'd expect to see masks on the staff though.

She told us it was lost and asked if we still wanted it, told her we were ok but it was brought out anyway. Very disappointed in the high dollar appetizer and dining experience. Also, why don't the servers have sections instead of taking turns with customers....seems like it would be easier to give the servers sections instead of every 3rd or 4th table, which seems like it would be difficult to keep up with. Very disappointing and not worth the $$$ it costs!

I am incredibly disappointed by our experience surrounding my parents' 55th wedding anniversary…read moredinner. Earlier that afternoon, I called the restaurant and asked if I could drop off flowers and a few balloons to surprise my parents when they arrived for dinner. I was told no because there was nowhere to store them. I suggested placing them on the inside porch area where no one sits or the inside unused bar (see pictures), out of the way until our reservation time, but was again told no. After speaking with a second employee and explaining that this was for my parents' 55th wedding anniversary, I still received the same response. What was most disappointing was the lack of willingness to help create a special moment for longtime customers. My parents dine here frequently (in fact, just last weekend!), and this small gesture would have meant so much to them. For a locally owned business in a small community, I expected a greater focus on customer experience and hospitality. When we arrived for our 7:00 p.m. reservation, it was apparent there were several places where a vase of flowers could have been tucked away until we were seated. We also were not seated until around 7:20, did not place our food order until nearly 8:00, and did not leave until after 9:00. To be clear, the food was excellent. The quality of the meal itself was not the issue. What I cannot get past is that the staff was unwilling to accommodate a very simple request that would have helped make a once-in-a-lifetime milestone celebration feel truly special. The only solution offered was for me to arrive 10 minutes early with the flowers and balloons. Unfortunately, I was driving in from out of town, coordinating with my parents, dropping off my dog, and heading directly to the restaurant, so that was not feasible. My parents were disappointed, and honestly, so was I. This felt like a missed opportunity to show a little flexibility and create a memorable experience for loyal customers celebrating a remarkable 55 years of marriage. Hospitality is about more than serving great food. It's about helping people celebrate life's special moments, and in this case, I feel the restaurant fell short.

The train made a stop in Watertown so we stopped at the first restaurant that we all agreed upon…read more For the train to frequently stop there, they seemed taken aback by the larger crowds. It's a smaller restaurant so I understand. We were initially given 1 restaurant per table. Later was given 2 more. (Table of 8 where I was seated) I figured it was more of lack of menus. I ordered a margaritas and it came pretty watered down. I didn't complain as I didn't NEED the cocktail but why in Rome... The food was ok. But came out quickly considering the amount of people in the restaurant. I felt overall it wasn't as flavorful as what I'm used to at Mexican restaurants I frequent. Prices are reasonable.
