Unappetizing food. No variety. Nothing exceptional to speak of. Don't spend your money here.

We went to dinner with friends tonight. We had reservations made online. They sat us rather quickly but waited a good 10 minutes before the waiter came to take the drinks order.
This restaurant is definitely overpriced! Food is edible but mediocre. I had the vegetarian rissotto and it was totally tasteless! The service is not professional at all. Waiters are polite and accommodating but need more training! They left dirty plates and even some appetizer until after bringing the dessert to the table. They finally removed the dirty dinner plates because we asked them. At one point one of the helpers almost dropped sauce on top of my husband's shirt.
The place is very loud which is fine for a regular sunday dinner at a local restaurant but not for a place that charges you top dollars for their food and "ambiance".
A total disappointment, we won't be back!

This was the third experience in dining here. Had made a reservation for 7 pm and when I notified the hostess that our party was here at 7 pm, the response was you will have to wait till 7 to get seated, it was 2 minutes to 7. Then she proceeded to sit us all the way in the back of the restaurant after passing a number of empty tables. We asked if we could sit at another table and we were acommodated. We then sat there for over a 1/2 hour waiting to see a wait staff, let alone water or a drink. The waitress came over and asked us if we would like a cocktail and took the order. No water yet and no bread. Looked over the menu and when the drinks came, I order 1/2 doz clams on the half shell. Received the clams on the half about 1/2 hour later and they were the tiniest clams I have ever seen. We ordered our entrees and 1 person in our party ordered Fresh Mahi Mahi with a baked potato instead of rice. The plate came out with no baked potato but it had the rice, we summoned the waitress over and asked for the baked potato and what came out of the kitchen was roasted potatoes and since the other members of our party had started eating, my friend 's Mahi was not fresh but a frozen portion, I ordered a wedge of lettuce with bacon and blue cheese and that arrived at the same time as my main course. As far a I am concerned, this place needs wait staff trainng, a chef that knows what he is doing and to stop trying to deceive the public by misquoting what is on the menu, if you print it as fresh then serve a fresh product not a frozen product. The last highlight of the evening was when we ordered coffee, 2 reg and 1 decaf and the waitress even screwed that up and gave the reg coffee to the person that ordered the de-caf. I highly would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Poor service, poor quality of food for the prices that they charge. We were compted for the frozen Mahi and I guess they must comp a number of meals. People, think twice before you come here. As a side note, I have serviced resturants for over 35 years and this place need a lot of people who know what they are doing.

Waited whole hour for appetizers. Then another hour for entre's. Longest waiting time. Spoke to manager and she did nothing about it and was not friendly. The view of the lake on the deck is restricted by a big railing so it ruined the purpose of even goinh there. And then i got the bill and it was 110$ for two entre's and two appetizers. Worst fine dining experience of my entire life. Never again.
