I recommended the place not only for its excellent Mediterranean food but also because it offers a great learning opportunity. They are currently facing a shortage of staff and need a line cook. This is a perfect chance for someone to learn Mediterranean cooking and maybe even add a few American-style dishes. I also suggested my friends join the ACF, which is the American Culinary Federation. PS, I had the lamb kabobs--my favorite! No one cooks my lamb quite like they do!

There was a lovely breeze and amazing view of green lakes and beyond. My small children wanted to walk around while we waited for our food and we checked out the golf carts nearby. The service was pretty fast. At one point I ordered a side of fries and it came out so quickly! The food was also pretty good. I am deducting a star because of the vegetarian sandwich. I was a bit disappointed in the bread which did not seem to be sourdough or toasted and roasted red peppers that were small shreds. The taste was overall ok but larger pieces of red peppers and more lettuce would have helped a lot. My spouse is gluten free and we were pleased they had gf buns on their menu for an additional cost. He and our kids really enjoyed their dinners. Their kids meals were reasonably priced and our 5 year old completely devoured a cheeseburger (normally she eats mostly fries) but the fries were good too!!

I ordered the tropical salmon and was side eyeing the coconut a little, but wow... it all came together perfectly. Sweet, tangy, and the salmon was cooked exactly right. Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!

The pulled pork and barbecue sauce and sour cream on top of salt potatoes was very delicious and filling. By the time we got our burgers we could only eat half. It was the burger of the month and I can't remember the name but it was a play on words for a Star Wars phrase. The burger buns were grill cheeses which was so good and filling!

I'm not sure what happened but I finally busted through my own reticence with my internal self and popped in on a Friday to grab some fish. Upon entering, I was a bit surprised to see that it doubles as a Mediterranean restaurant. The decor seems to suggest both cuisines and was an interesting mix for sure. Orders can be done at the counter or via their website. I opted for counter service and was nicely greeted and taken care of. As I waited, the place started filling up with folks waiting for online orders as well as with a couple Dash or Grubhub drivers. I was there 15 minutes or so before my food was ready but in those 15 minutes I saw a lot of orders coming in, a lot of confusion in whose order was ready or not (they need to work on their system), and some frustration with folks waiting for orders. Being busy was encouraging to see for me, but the mounting frustration of customers waiting on online orders made met think the counter was the right way to go. Onto the meal. It was...fine. Nothing stood out to me. The haddock was cooked well but was a little greater than I prefer. The fries were plentiful. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to grab fish from here, but would give them a shot on their other food.
