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!

The first order of crab didn't want to break or come out of the shell, it was too cold. The rest of our orders were hot and nicely broken. The butter is garlic butter? It's very off putting for us, this tastes like butter you brush on bread for garlic bread. Our service was super slow. The waiter tried to keep up after we initially got our first order 45 minutes after we got there. He was also the bar tender, it took quite a while to get our margarita flight too. I won't be back for this and it's really the only reason we visited. To get your moneys worth, you'd need to have two plus hours to waste waiting for your food.

We waited for 20 minutes past our reservation before we were seated in the noisier main room. Our waitstaff Tanner was a 12/10 - superb! Highlights included that once order was correctly received, it was executed well. Downside was that my husband's filet was seasoned when he asked no seasoning; salad came out with dressing on the side instead of having the kitchen lightly dress it. But once it was correct (2 hours past our reservation time) it was fabulous. Mushroom gratinee was delicious. Cesar salad was crisp and perfectly seasoned when lightly dressed. Originally my husband's filet was seasoned and over salted but 2nd chance was perfect. Asparagus was delicious. Dessert was comped and was great. Here's where they could improve: Ambience - the main room has no theme and is noisy. There are beautiful pictures of Center Hill Lake and they should capitalize on that. The room is noisy. Perhaps some artificial barriers of plants could improve. The use of "to go" serving dishes makes it feel less fine dining. They say they are a wine bar but have a very limited selection. They could easily expand their selection and become a true wine bar. We would go back and look forward to trying Ace's again.

All of that came to 100 bucks including 2 drinks. For the price, you don't get alot of food due to lack of combos as everything is purchased separately. Nice seating areas but not good for groups of more than 4 people. The po boy wasn't good as it was small and was dry as can be. Potato salad wasn't good at all to much mustard and tasted more like a slaw than potato salad. The soup was the best thing. Two hours after eating here and we were both in the bathroom non stop for the rest of the day and night so we got some kind of food poisoning probably from the oysters they didnt seem very cold like they should be. Btw this was are only meal for the day. First time getting sick from eating oysters.

New to…read morethe restaurant, we entered thru the South door of the dining room and since only two tables were occupied I asked a waitress if we could seat ourselves and she said no, we would need to go the "hostess " station.. As we passed through the bar, another server said "hope you enjoyed your meal" and I replied we just arrived and would like to be seated. No reply. We continued to the lobby and waited for the "hostess " who said Oh I thought you were leaving! (she had been sitting in the bar). We were seated at a waterfront window with a view of the gas dock and the fuel storage tank. Server came immediately and took our order. While waiting, the four top next to us stood to leave and the server said "thank you so much for your patience" which was curious since the restaurant was nearly empty. Sounded like a kitchen issue? I looked over to his plate, appeared he had ordered the biscuit, gravy and egg meal and had taken one bite out a biscuit, ate the eggs and left the rest . Now I'm concerned with the kitchen. But our order came quickly. My wife got the brisket quesadilla which she enjoyed, and gave me a taste, Quite good. I had ordered the CS grouper sandwich with the brussel sprout side. What I was served was a cod sandwich and a side of fries. The sandwich looked good so I settled, only because I didn't want to ruin the pleasant day we were having. The guests at the other tables left and neither tables were bussed by the time we left. There was a buss person working on the two tables by us, she gathered all the silver and carried it to the kitchen, and kept coming back making numerous trips to the kitchen with what she could hand carry! Like she didn't know what a bus tray was. The servers just sat in the bar watching her march back and forth waiting to get off work at 3:00. So my opinion is there are issues with the kitchen and front which really affected our dining experience Looks like a great menu but will only come back if I am in the area.
