The prime cut new York steak was not edible. It was full of gristle. Our appetizer was not served until well after the meal was brought to the table. On the positive side, the meatballs were very good. The waiter was very nice but was attending to more tables than he could manage. He did his best to provide service, but he wasn't able to even keep our drinks filled. read more

Food was lukewarm and way overpriced. Service was slow (waited 30 min for a glass of wine)...even though I asked for a quiet location for my friends 75th Birthday, we were seated next to a party of 25 with several screaming children. They did not bring out a slice of cake with a candle for my friend so we ended up at a different restaurant for desert. The bill was $130 plus the tip!!! Not recommended. We won't be back. read more

We've now been twice and both times the food was great. Ambiance, service, cleanliness all wonderful! Highly recommend!

Always fantastic dinner or lunch with a view! Food is on point and the drinks are divine!

It felt very close not enough room, for the uniform that the waitresses were wearing I would suggest black pants and not short skirts because some staff were more curvy and it was not flattering. , We order the cheese sticks for an appetizer and the on the outside it was crispy and hot but inside the cheese was still very cold, French onion soup was gross, just not impressed at all. I won't be back one time is good enough. read more

We dined at the Beach House before It was a nice experience food was great service was good and the view was amazing

Home run! Love the remodel and the food was excellent as was the service. Heather took very good care of us!

I thought the food was delicious with absolutely outstanding service from our server, Alex, and he gave really good recommendations. The jumbo cheese sticks and the steak filets with crab cakes on top were amazing. Will be back! read more

I recently visited the newly remodeled Beach House and I have to say I loved everything about it! Especially our server Yalonda she was on top of everything, our drinks were never empty, she was very knowledgeable about the menu, even the drink menu, and the desserts OMG! I will definitely be back and will be asking for her.... If you haven't been you should definitely go read more

new year buffet was absolutely fantastic!!! there was such a wide variety of food and everything was delicious. staff kept the food coming and it was always fresh and hot. hope they do a buffet every year. read more

meal was fair, but not worth the expense. Caesar salad had a few croutons, a few sprinkles of Parmesan (maybe it was- hard to tell), very little dressing, again difficult to tell. I asked for pepper, given a bottle.....what fresh grinded pepper! will think deeply before I return read more

Food was awesome. Waited for 10 minutes before anybody even came to our table and then it actually was a girl just to give us water who is in another section ended up taking our order and she was awesome. read more

Recently reopened and renovated. Crazy you find a scenic restaurant in Decatur. Oysters and lobster bisque for starters. Oysters were good size but nothing special your typical cocktail sauce. Lobster bisque great flavor but lobster pieces that was in was bit over done for my taste but overall I enjoyed. I got a perfectly Pittsburgh filet with flavorful collard greens. The truffle fries weren't very crisp or have much truffle which is usually overpowered. My husband was happy with his lamb chops. The Gouda Mac was very saucy and tasty and the sage glazed carrots were so good but not all similar size so the larger pieces weren't tender. I wish we had got dessert cause every time they walked by the portions were HUGE enough to share. Will return to hopefully sit outside! read more

I had lunch there (Beach House) with a couple friends today.. Shrimp tacos.. They were excellent, fried to delicate crisp perfection.. The sauce was a perfect complement and just the right amount.. 3 big fat tacos not miserly little servings.. I had the potato slivers on the side, perfectly seasoned, not salted to heart attack proportions and not greasy or over fried! They understand that you can always add salt.. And they listen.. Last time I was there a man who I assume was the owner asked if I had any suggestions, I said lets understand this isn't a complaint because everything was excellent but perhaps some sauce or something to dip the potatoes.. Next visit there is a little stainless steel not cheap paper cup full of ice cold catsup! Attention to detail! 5 stars! Oh yes, great service as well.. read more

Wondered if grass fed beef fillet ... something off with the flavor ... just not up to par this evening... Pretzel chicken very chewy and tough ... what happened??? read more

Food and service is great when not busy. I do not need to put down 85 words to post this. Trust me food is good

the Staff is amazing and friendly. Many nights, the restaurant is busy, but there always is a place at the bar. Food and Drinks are served by the bartender and rarely and waiting when sitting at the bar. read more

The food is a amazing The Service is amazing And the views are tremendous I would highly recommend coming to this establishment read more

The service, ambience and food quality used to be a 3.0 to 3.5. They have new management, renovations, an updated and better menu, MUCH larger wine selection and is now, imo, at least a 4.2 to 4.5 compared to larger city FINE dining. LOVED or most recent visit!!! read more

We had an excellent dinner on the patio celebrating my husband's birthday. Our server was very attentive and very nice. I had the triggerfish and garlic mashed potatoes and my husband had the pretzel chicken and Mac and cheese. Both meals were very well prepared and delicious. We Love the Beach House (especially the patio ) and look forward to returning soon read more

I had an initial conversation with the waitress, about selecting the "safest" thing on the menu because I can't tolerate spicy. Finally settled on the chef's special, whitefish with a cream sauce. It came out completely black, smothered with spices. That, combined with the waitresses (inside the dining room) in yoga shorts, bare concrete floors that look like they just pulled the carpeting up, and sangria that tasted like orange juice with a 'splash' of wine...left us wondering why we picked this for my husband's birthday. Not even close for their fine dining prices. He said he wished the waitress would bring the check, because he couldn't wait to get out of the very uncomfortable, wobbly chair. We're done. read more

Service and atmosphere wonderful. Proportion of food and taste fabulous. Cost in line with all. Salmon slightly undercooked for my taste however still delicious and I am certain they would have cooked more if I'd asked. read more

Food was good and good service. However, when prompted to check in, I was presented with a free glass of wine coupon. The server checked with the bartender and told me that was a scam! Not legal to offer free alcohol in Illinois! read more

I liked the location and view. Food and service could have been better. They made mistakes and a hair in dessert. They really didn't seem to care much. read more

The lobster bisque soup was amazing. The southwestern egg rolls were very good too. Our entrees were average. We had the seafood stir fry and the pretzel chicken. read more

2 out of 10 of us did not get the meal we ordered. They were not busy when we were there early at 5pm on a Tuesday either so it couldn't be because they were swamped. read more

Great service and quality food. The ambiance of the location was terrific. There prices of food was very reasonable.

Food and service were great, it was a little expensive. We sat outside on the beach and the atmosphere was ok.

My order of jambalaya was great and more than I could eat. My son's steak was ok and wife's chicken was very good. Portions were large. The waitress was very helpful with picking out our choices. The setting along the lake was very pleasant. Highly recommend Under the Sea off the drink menu, coconut rum with coconut cream, pineapple and blue curaçao. read more

the food is great. Salmon was awesome. Artichoke dip and chips are unique and a tasty surprise. The atmosphere is worn out...stuffed animals, boats, and movie pics (a hodgepodge of things that don't go together)... but this place has one of the best scenic views in Decatur and the food is top notch. read more

Excellent Service! Excellent Food! Excellent View! I enjoyed my dinner very much! Pricing was well worth the food!

Paid 44$ for a glorified banquet meal. It was beyond obvious every ingredient of the surf and turf was frozen in a bag at some point, I ate every bite becuase I was starving and my mom raised me not to send food back, I also didnt want to make my date uncomfortable. The owners are being cheap with the products they purchase. The server was nice though. It's an obvious owner/management issue. read more

We typically come here for dinner. I would highly recommend a reservation since they get busy, especially on weekends. Their soft rolls and butter... yassss! I have to remind myself not to eat more than one. So good when they're hot and fresh. We've tried the Oysters Rockefeller, Calamari, Spinach Artichoke dip, Bayou sandwich, Chilean Sea Bass, Crab legs. They used to have a chicken on a pita sandwich and a yummy pasta dish with asparagus, but those are no longer on the menu as of March 2017. The food is generally good; however, we were not impressed with the crab legs that were offered as a special... guess we should've known better. Bayou sandwich was really salty. Service can be hit or miss. There's one waitress who is an absolute rockstar; I wish I could remember her name. Another time, the waitress must've been new and hadn't gotten the hang of things yet. Celebrated the bf's bday there, and they let us bring in a cake. The rockstar waitress brought it to the table after dinner with candles they provided. She also cut and served the cake which was nice. I haven't been on the patio since it was renovated, so I'm looking forward to trying it this summer. read more
