    On the Rocks by Lake Whalom
    Elizabeth H.

    The food is great and service is always perfect. The ambience is nice. It's across the Lake Whalom. They have outdoor seating when the weather is nice which makes it a great place to relax and unwind by yourself or good friends. I recommend this establishment 100% A+++ Hannah is the best! Thanks all!

    I'm a tourist from New Mexico and this is the place to be! That's Pat, the friendliest bartender.

    Great local hangout. We ordered pizza from neighboring pizzeria and ate while enjoying good beers. Wednesday night is open mic night and we heard great songs that kept us singing along all night.

    Very chil spot

    Boring. Bar isn't bad but there isn't anything special about it at all. No fun drinks, blah food. Usually pretty empty. I'd skip.

    They blast their music loudly between 10pm to midnight almost every single night and it keeps me awake.

    love this place, total neighborhood type feel, but the place is spanking new, intimate, fun, and the lake makes it all feel more enjoyable

Our server was attentive, quick and pleasant. We had the soft pretzels and spicy hummus to start. Both were very good. Main dishes were bacon cheeseburger (which was a little too well done) fish and chips, grilled cheese sandwich and lastly Cajun chicken. Everyone was satisfied with the meal, French fries were crispy and hot. The star meal was the Cajun chicken. It was the best she has had in a long time . She now wants to make Colombia tavern our go to when we are in the area which is fine by me.

We chose to sit at the bar because it was trivia night. It was loud, but we managed to have a conversation. The trivia host seemed to really enjoy himself and used the microphone quite a bit. If trivia isn't your thing, it's best to avoid coming on trivia night. Most of the food looked good. I ordered the burnt ends with fries and was surprised to find the meat served in cubes. I had never seen it prepared this way before. While it was tasty, it was quite dry, so I added BBQ sauce to make it easier to eat. The French fries were heavily salted, making them difficult to enjoy. As for the cornbread, it didn't resemble cornbread at all. It had a nice flavor, but it was definitely not what I expected.

    Oh Bradys's, what has happened to you? So, we went there last night (party of 4) to celebrate my…read moresister's birthday. I want to say our waitress was wonderful and attentive. My review is no reflection on the atmosphere or waitstaff... strictly the food. Our appetizers were pretty good... calamari and escargot... nothing special, but, acceptable. After that.. things went way downhill. Two of us, ordered the veal parm. It was served on a piping hot plate, however, I can assure you, this was not made to order. The veal cutlet was clearly cooked hours before as it was barely lukewarm warm in Temperature and the breading was not one bit, crispy. It was soggy. Not made to order! It was served over a bed of "angel hair." The angel hair was cut up in multiple small pieces... the way you would serve it to a baby experiencing pasta for the first time. I asked our waitress "why is the pasta all cut up like this?" She responded: "I don't know." Not only was it cut up into pieces...(who does that? ) it was also soggy and way overcooked. The meal was a huge disappointment. My other dining companion ordered the fried pork chop which was a special. It wasn't too bad... he reported it was tender... it came with mash and a side of corn that looked like it came straight out of a can of Delmonte. No frills there. It was clearly canned corn. My sister got the cavatappi pasta that came with shrimp ; cannellini beans and a veg mixed in and it was swimming in a sub-par sauce that was lacking in any seasoning. All the entrees lacked basic seasoning. I want to go to a restaurant where my dish is made to order. Hot and crispy cutlets; Al Dente pasta; corn that's not poured out of a tin can and entrees that are served hot! This place has gone way downhill. I was there several years ago my experience was very different. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant and it certainly wasn't worth the $300 dollars (including tip) that we paid. Entrees were 30 + dollars each! What a joke to be charging those prices for the sub-standard food we were served. We will never go back. On a Positive note, my sister was given a lovely birthday dessert plate of sticky toffee pudding and ice cream.

Sometimes we call ahead to reserve for a 3 or 4 -course fixed menu which he customizes for us. Even on their normal menu, they have fantastic vegetarian and vegan selections. (One does need to look the other way at the entrance, there's a raw meat refrigerator display case on the left :( ) The dessert platters are incredible!
