Food was great especially for the price on the pre fix meal. Great service. Wild Mushroom soup was incredible.

This was our first time here and it was a very pleasant surprise. We ate outside, the weather was very nice. Our table of four all ordered fish and it was excellent. The service and food was excellent, the wine list was very good. Had a very enjoyable dining experience.

I've been here twice and it takes a while for your food. There's indoor dining and outdoor. It's so nice to sit on the patio and look at the lazy river while you eat appetizers and drink. The food is good once it arrives. They have a kids menu. You can make reservations in advance because it gets busy! Be... More

Disappointing Ribs and meat-grinder tuna tartar highlighted a disappointing meal. The tuna tartar tower had the most disappointing texture to the point of being unappetizing. The sauce accompanying it was overpowering.

This restaurant has long been a favorite stop for us but our last visit on Monday May 13 has put an end to this. It was an extremely hot evening (Monday may 13 - 108F) and we chose to stop by because the misters were going. Shortly after ordering the misters stopped and when we asked about them, were informed... More

This restaurant is great escape from the heat and a was not expecting top notch service and good food for such a busy Saturday evening. We sat outside and were not disappointed. Keep up the good work...

I don't care for the smell of the bar, though I think they took care of that when they removed the indoor "waterfall walls". Layout is funky, food is average. The big draw is the outdoor patio, which is pictured here. Sits on the water. Tough go, though, on summer afternoons and evenings because the hot sun is streaming in.

The regular menu is okay but pricey for the quality of the food. That said, the Happy Hour / bar menu is the Best in Town! Extremely busy and lively. We had a margarita pizza, kobe beef skewers, tuna tartar with avacado that rivals Mortons Steak House, and calamari. It all tasted great. Average price per dish is $7. Highly... More
