    My friend hosted her welcome dinner here for her wedding weekend. They have a very large restaurant to accommodate large groups. We were seated in the back room and had quite a large party. They did a great job getting our food and drinks out in a timely manner and the staff was very kind. We had a select menu to choose from and so I decided on the salmon. It was divine! They did a wonderful job with this dish and I was quite pleased. The only reason I didn't finish my main was because I was planning to get dessert and I was not disappointed. I ordered a slice of the chocolate cake and it was huge and decadent. Even if you don't have room for dessert, take a slice to go! It was so good!

    20/10 experience! This food was TO DIE FOR! My parents took me here on my second to last night here in Troy, and it did not disappoint!! Every item of food was SO flavorful! Our waitress Sarah was on top of everything as well! She was so attentive and helpful! We sat outside on the patio, and it was so nice! It is covered and the breeze comes off the water perfectly! I will definitely be going back! Their green apple martini is also a perfect choice!

    lobster roll

    This place is extravagantly one of a kind! Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Our server Sam was very kind and knowledgeable. I got the special lobster roll which was good, and for dessert I had the buckeye cheesecake, which was also delicious. Also if the weather is nice, I recommend sitting outside and witnessing the scenic views.

    Lovely private space

    Lobster food poisoning
    Tonia A.

    Last night 2/17/25 we had my friends birthday a party of 5 we had the Filet which was simply perfect but we ordered lobster- both our lobster were raw and I eat a peace and spit the other peace out ( it was raw underneath and I didn't see it till I had the 2nd bit. I ended up getting food poisoning. The owner told me I would not get sick from that but at 1:00am I was violently sick . So I googled it and well it said I could get food poisoning. I have been there before and the food was always great. My other friend also had the short ribs which she said was bone dry . I love the place but what a bad experience

    Excellent peanutbutter pie.  Very disappointing coffee - not hot - bourbon coffee is supposed to be hot!!
    April C.

    Pretty good experience, but I spent $177 for 2 people, and I have a couple issues...... The after dinner butterscotch bourbon coffee was Luke warm. I prefer my coffee actually hot. Honestly, it was gross. The ribs were pretty average and definitely not worth $29. When we were ready to leave, we couldn't go because the waitress gave us a pen that wouldn't write. She vanished, and after a long wait, we found another server with a working pen. Also, I asked to have a bottle of salad dressing to bring home. Idk if she added it to my bill or not, but I didn't get it. Things I loved - French onion soup and salad with white French dressing. I also loved the guava mama. If I knew they were not going to bring me hot coffee, I would have just ordered another guava mama. The peanutbutter pie was excellent.....kinda tiny for the price....but excellent. It's definitely not big enough to share.

    Fish bones from walleye.
    Lanny G.

    Apparently you have to ask for your walleye to be deboned?? Food taste was great, I wanted to love it but every bite had bones they'd missed (only took 3 bites) Lost most of my appetite and started Nibbling on my dates fries. They comped my walleye but left the charge of $25 for 2 small scallops Service wasn't good or bad just meh, atmosphere was pretty nice. The lady trying to tell me that bones were normal in walleye Maybe go for a burger ?? Good luck

    Takeout case
