    We sat on the back deck overlooking the lake and loved the service, atmosphere, and food. My husband had the Chilean sea bass and I had the duck- both were excellent. The sweet potato mash was to die for. Their chocolate torte was very yummy. Great drinks and wine list, too. This is my favorite restaurant at SML.

    3 stars because their on to something, yet they are a pinch away from 5 stars due to their lacking in excellence in the categories of service and food preparation. Is this a good spot for dinner after a long day in the water? Yes. Will it blow you away? Almost. They've got the right ingredients. Their food is flavorful. They've just got to do a better job at measuring out how much of each ingredient is used in the dishes. For example, the pesto was so salty I drank 4 cups of water. The chefs recommendation was a medium rare cooked duck, but it was cooked well done. Salad was drenched in Balsamic because the chicken was dry. The scallops were the only dish I wouldn't complain about :) Like I said- it's all flavorful. It just needs to be executed to a higher standard.

    Josh was the best server we have ever had!! The food was so good and this place is a must!!

    We live in bedford so not super close but not far and love to eat on the lake when we go out. Tried this place for the first time today and this is definitely a new favorite. Host's were very welcoming, our waitress was very kind and catering, and our food was phenomenal. Points for not only how amazing the food tasted but the presentation was very appealing. Will definitely be back soon!

    We really enjoyed our meal and Josh was an excellent server. I highly recommend trying their newest desert, the red velvet cake.

    Food and drinks were terrible. Pasta was swimming in sauce, mozzarella sticks were grainy, drinks were poorly prepared. Not worth it.

    The food is ok, not great , but we enjoyed the atmosphere. The service with the bartender was mediocre but at the table was good.

    Don't expect these people to ever answer the phone. Don't bother making a reservation...they have ours away.

    Food was good as always or most of the time. Service can be a little slow depending on how busy…read morethey are. We had a problem with one of our dishes and they wouldn't remove it from the bill. We never ask for that. We eat out all the time.

    My experience at Copper Kettle on Mother's Day was extremely frustrating, mostly due to poor…read moreservice and management. Service was slow from the start. We waited a long time just to order drinks, and our waitress, Maggie, had to come back and ask for our drink order again. Later, I ordered a salad to go, and it came out wrong. I asked Maggie to send it back, but after waiting 25 minutes, nothing happened. I eventually had to ask for a manager. Manager James never came to speak with me. I was told he was "too busy" and that I'd need to wait until he had time, blaming the delay on it being Mother's Day. However, the restaurant did not appear that busy--there were multiple empty tables. After another 10-15 minutes, I still never spoke with James, and only then did I finally receive the corrected salad to go. I spent $200.66 including tip, which is a lot to pay for this level of service. While the food itself was good, it was very overpriced for what you receive, and the lack of attentiveness and accountability from management ruined what should have been a special meal. Unfortunately, I would not return based on this experience.
