Thankfully all the food was great. My parents and I all got a different type of fish and they were each cooked/breaded to perfection. Not sure I'd come back just for the food as the space was just cold and dark which is hard to imagine with all the kitschy beach things around. Kinda felt like I was in a church basement food hall with a beach theme.

The place was crowded when we arrived, but after half an hour it was less than half full. The bartender was very inattentive and she seemed distracted. When I asked for the beer menu, she brought it back and tried to give it to someone three seats down. When I ordered my second beer she filled my glass and set it behind the register and started talking to her friend. I had to wave my hands to get her attention so she'd bring it to me. She was very friendly but her mind definitely wasn't on the job. On top of this, she took our silverware after we finished our salad and didn't bring us a clean set after our meals arrived. For the price point, I definitely won't be returning to Rakes. It's a nice place but it's way overpriced for a sports bar.

The butter that came with the bread was overpowered with whatever they season it with, the spinach dip had SO much spinach in it that's all you could taste and they were out of at least 3-4 menu items that we asked for. The potato cakes were very dry and they claim the ranch is made in house but it just tasted like every other restaurant ranch watered down. Now our waitress was amazing, very attentive to our table and tried her best to accommodate the mishaps. Ambience was cute for the occasion, very small and quaint.

I also ordered a lemon drop Martini (and a French raspberry martini) while my husband ordered an Old Fashioned with Angels Envy--all were delicious! Both were magnificent and cooked absolutely perfectly. Our server was super helpful in making drink and dining selections and overall just a little lovely individual. The place is small and cute but not crammed. After learning of my birthday, I was treated to a complimentary slice of cake with "happy birthday " written on the plate which was just so sweet. This will absolutely be a MUST return to, whether for a special occasion or date night.

Sorry people, but since reopening, your food has sucked. I've been three times, and ALL the meals…read morewe've had were awful. I don't know who is advising you on your new business model, but changing your menu was the worst thing you did. You had a good menu, you just needed to be consistent with preparing it. And the prices were a bit high for Buckeye Lake. I don't mind paying for good food, but when the quality went down, that's when we stopped coming back. You were offering specials from time to time, which were good!! And the live music was awesome. You also got rid of the best person working there. Nate the bartender. You people just don't know a good thing when you've got it. But, at our last visit, I see you saw the error of your ways. Sorry, I really hate to leave this kind of review, but you need to know. You took a nice "upper scale" restaurant and ruined it with that awful food. It's not the actual offerings, it's the quality of the food.
