    Vinny was our exceptional waiter. Very descriptive of the daily oyster selection and made excellent recommendations. He was also very knowledgeable about the wine list and food choices. Food was excellent, and we were never rushed allowing us to enjoy each course.

    My mom and and I started with the Thai coconut mussels. They are my favorite and more absolutely delicious. We then shared the steak Fritz. It was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The service is always a 10 out of 10. We love this place.

    Had a wonderful dining experience! The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from start to finish. The owner was especially attentive, checking in on guests and making sure everyone was enjoying their meals, which added such a personal touch to the day. The lake view created such a relaxing atmosphere and made lunch even more enjoyable. Food was excellent as always. The flounder oreganato was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the eggplant parmigiana was delicious, with bold flavor and cooked just right. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
