We…read morewere running tardy for our reservations due to flooded roads, but the staff was very understanding. Placed at a cozy table indoors & bottled water arrived immediately. Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week

My mom said the oatmeal was even delicious, had some maple mixed in with it. My dad enjoyed the Rise-N-Shine, too. The portions were great and the cost was decent. The service was a little slow but they were quite busy. The restaurant was clean but the tables are too large for the room. In my opinion, they could change to square 4-seater have more tables for more customers. The current tables seat 6-7 people but 1/3 of the tables had 2-4 people sitting at them. Definitely worthy of eating at again.

The Lakeview experience went above and beyond to make this evening special for the newlyweds and the guests. We dined in and I selected the prime rib special with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The prime rib was medium rare perfectly cooked. The taste was on point and everything came out to the table hot and ready. Our server was very personable and very fun to interact with. Her name Tag said the grumpy old lady but her name was Cheryl. She was not grumpy at all They did not have a Merlot but offered others options. I enjoyed a glass of a red blend and it was delicious. The menu had so many food options it was like trying to pick a favorite star in the heavens. There was a table full of us and a assortment of meals were consumed with nothing but compliments on the chosen dish. Overall great evening of Food, Friends and Family.

Apple Maps is confused with this place. The food was ok. The service in the restaurant was ok. Do know that there are no free refills - so you won't be surprised to find a $10.50 charge for 3 iced-teas!! Many foreign employees and language is a barrier for many of them. Our room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately, there is an underlying odor of must/mold which is strong in the bottom level. The views are beautiful. The Legend and Cedar River golf courses were nice to play. It was a nice time, but I do not think I'd choose to return.

The establishment is very small, so it makes sense that it takes a while to get a table. But, it took about 20 minutes for someone to even come take our order, and even then they only came because we flagged them down. Then, a ton of to-go orders were taking priority over the people inside. It took about 2 hours to get our food after we were seated. No shade I get they're doing their best. The only thing that really made our party angry was the fact that it seemed like they were churning out to go orders and not serving the people in the restaurant in a timely manner.

Knowing the restaurant is named after their dogs makes all of the dog decor even more adorable, and the fact that they have treats for your four-legged family members too is such a fun touch. Beyond being incredibly cute and pet-friendly, the food is phenomenal. They have great breakfast options, really fun coffee drinks, and you can actually take the whole family out for breakfast without breaking the bank, which feels increasingly rare. It has that comfortable, welcoming local feel where you can get a genuinely great meal without anything feeling overly fancy or overpriced. Delicious food + fun coffee + dogs + reasonable prices? You really can't go wrong.

I don't think we could have picked a better Restaurant to have our dog with! We literally had no idea that this restaurants theme is dogs! Moose and Stella's is such a cute Restaurant! The dog decor is absolutely adorable! We were greeted warmly and told our dog was absolutely welcome and they brought her a big bowl of water and some biscuits! This is definitely a mom café with lots of delicious looking foods to choose from. I decided on the corned beef hash as it was mentioned that it was homemade and popular and we also chose blueberry pancakes as it came highly recommend recommended. My husband chose a skillet that had several types of meat and sausage, gravy and hashbrowns. It was a daily special. Our waitress and other staff were so kind and kept our coffee cups full. As a sidenote, it was fairly close to closing time I would say about 45 minutes before they closed and not once did we ever feel like we had to rush. Our food came out and looked absolutely delicious! The servings were very big and everything was hot. The corned beef has was most likely the best I've ever had!! it was like a very rustic take on what I know is corned beef and I absolutely loved it! It was very flavorful and it had that nice crispy. Text her and places that you really crave with corn beef hash. 10/10! The blueberry pancakes were exceptional as well. They were light and fluffy and fresh blueberries all throughout. My husband skillet was full of all kinds of breakfast meats, cheese, hashbrowns, and gravy. I don't think you can do much better than that. He said everything was delicious and he really liked the gravy which is a complement to the business as he is extremely picky about sausage gravy! My daughter had the kids hamburger slider with fries and applesauce and she said it was delicious! Just a sidenote, they have a small menu for your dogs as well! We ordered our dog, Marley, a big hamburger patty and she gave it a 10 out of 10 We will return again and again, we come to the area for vacation and this restaurant will definitely be in our normal rotation when we visit!
