Really nice restaurant located on a hill adjacent to US 23. The restaurant was recommended by some…read morelocal friends and it did not disappoint! As we entered the restaurant you could see their commercial grade smoker going with inviting aroma's of smoked meats wafting through the air creating both a nice visual and a mouth watering invitation to enter the restaurant. I get a kick out of these these bad boy smokers as too often they are hidden behind the restaurant. Relative to our meal, we got the Cod Fish and chips and the full rack of baby backed smoked ribs. Both entree's were well made and very tasty, especially the ribs, where the the portion size were so large we could easily have split both of these meals into two which is something I would suggest if you are coming here and usually eat a small to moderate portion size. For drinks we got their Old Fashioned which was well made and quite tasty in its own right but a tad small volume wise in my opinion. I normally expect 2 full oz's of Bourbon in my drink and not sure this drink hit that mark. Just a minor gripe here and did not detract from my meal by any means as evidenced by the 5 stars. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was super friendly with great follow up where the facility I would describe as clean, a bit rustic (in a good way) and most importantly a comfy environment to enjoy your meal in. Also, as it was a Friday nite and a band started playing later in the evening that just added another layer of goodness about this business and overall dining experience. Overall, I am a big fan as this business as hits on all cylinders when it comes to a nice dining experience and one not to be missed if you are in the area. As a cautionary note, they get real busy right around 5 pm on a Friday with a waiting list that moves fairly quickly. I am assuming the same thing probably happens on Saturday. if you want to get seated immediately on those evenings you should probably arrive a tad bit in front of 5pm to avoid the wait.

Wow. Just wow. We…read morespent the day at the lake and planned to go to the Mexican place across the street. They were short staffed and had an hour wait. We worried that we might be under dressed, casually in jeans and tanks. Yelp said this place was great. It was. We dined with 3 kids who all jammed out on the kids meals, spaghetti with homemade noodles, hand breaded chicken tenders and pizza that was SO good. Adults had salmon x2, scallop risotto, eggplant Parm and the almond crusted halibut. Everything was amazing, we were passing forks around like covid never happened. The clam chowder, Devine. I am so impressed. First time in , likely won't be in the area without stopping back. Our service was PHENOMENAL and our waitress knew the menu, made great recommendations and was amazing. Cheers Rochelle! We love you!

The cocktails were below average, espresso martini was mostly just a cream. Almost a milkshake. Our service was smooth and fine. Overall a pretty pricey place, but worth it if you're looking to shake things up with a nice dinner out of town on the water. Get a table outside on a warm sunny afternoon in the summer if you can.

They…read moremake all the traditional Italian dishes one would expect to see at a fine upscale restaurant that you would find in any big cosmopolitan city along with other entree's to include fish, steak and chicken options. Food is well prepared with great visuals and most importantly tastes great. Setting has a nice darker rustic comfy vibe to it with a large gas fired pizza oven going on one side with fresh and oh so tasty bread cooking away which adds a nice Italian accent to the setting. Restaurant also has a full service bar where my Old Fashioned was very well made and oh so tasty in its own right. Also just as important, especially for an Italian restaurant, they have a very nice wine list to choose from. Overall, if you are in the north eastern side of the state and your pallet leans towards fine cuisine than this is a must visit restaurant as you will not be disappointed.
