Went there for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. The food was tasty and reasonably priced but the location is great. The church behind and the lake in front makes for a great setting. Will be back in the summer....

Only went to the restaurant. Has a really classy yet layed back lounge vibe. No reservation was needed, however there were a lot of tables that were reserved. The service was polite and rather fast. And the food was also enjoyable. Might be slightly pricey but considering the location and quality of the food. Its worth paying. Would definitely be going back there regularily.
