    We had an early dinner in the bar on Saturday evening. Most of the patrons were outside enjoying the lake view. We greatly enjoyed talking with the owner, Charles. We had not seen him for a while, our fault. The food was great. The service was perfect. It was a very pleasant experience and we intend to return on a more regular basis. We received value for our money.
