It took 50 minutes to get our food and we had to wait a long time before getting it for our waitress to come to our table just so that another beer could be ordered. The food is a mixture of American and Mexican food. We ordered fajitas and shrimp street tacos. The fajitas were good and well seasoned. The shrimp tacos in my opinion were not good. There was barley any shrimp on them and there wasn't any flavor. I also substituted for cilantro and onions and got a lot of onions but barley any cilantro. It comes with a side of rice black beans. Not something I would pair with them but I understand that those are used when people order bowls. Loved the live band. Not sure if I will be returning.

The table next to us had a family sitting with kids .the kids were very ill ruley running around the place, screaming, yelling , the parents did nothing just sat there. We finished are supper and left . The waitress was very nice and accommodating. Would like to try it again sometime soon. People in charge should have said something to them about the kids .maybe it happens all time with the family.

We visited on a Friday evening around 7:30pm for perspective. Just the two of us for a late dinner…read more The restaurant wasn't busy, but a modest number of patrons were inside. Upon check in, the hostess informed me it would be about a 20 min wait. No big deal. Within 15 mins or less I'd say our pager went off and we were shown our table. 2. Food * Starter: Mozzarella sticks * Entree: Ribeye (advertised as house special) * Entree: Filet Mignon * Sides: Fries, Baked Potato and included salad bar Starter was above average, hot and freshly made, good structure. Mozzarella sticks seem hard to mess up but honestly, it happens. Our server did mention that marinara was unavailable (not sure if that day or in general) Ribeye: Ordered medium rare, came out medium to medium well. Taste was mediocre at best, more grill grate less ribeye flavor. Out of 10, I would say 4/10. Filet Mignon: Expectations were high but a huge miss. Ordered medium, came medium. Flavor was far below expectations for this cut of meat. My wife described this as "dog food flavor." For the price ($39) this was disappointing. Sides: Sides were average. Fries were pretty standard, comparable to frozen fries that you'd throw in your air fryer at home. Baked potato was good (thankfully). Salad bar is included with dinner. Basic green mix with a basic offering of toppings. I would say everything was replenished when needed. 3. Service * Staff was average to friendly, from hostess to server. Average attentiveness and came to the table probably 3-4 times during service. One item to note: kitchen window/bar prep area is very close to salad bar. While at the salad bar, a group of servers were all chatting and talking about the customers they had currently or earlier in the shift. One server had a table she strongly disliked, and had no problem making that known amongst her peers. I understand back of house conversations happen, but in close proximity to customers seemed in poor taste. I left wondering what was being said if anything about us after we departed. TL;DR: if you're gonna talk shit about customers, try not to do it around your current ones. 4. Atmosphere * The location is wonderful. Quiet country charm with a distant scenic overlook of the spillway itself. It's a beautiful spot and the grounds are well maintained. Other reviews mentioned the interior as dated, my impression was it's very old style steakhouse/lodge inspired. It could use some updates sure, but I didn't think it was the focus of the night. 5. Overall value * Was it worth the price? No. One starter, two entrees and one domestic beer brought the bill to $97 before tip. A decent meal can be had for less with far superior food. I think the impression I walked away with is that this place has so much potential, and may have been great at one time but standards have since slipped. The location and feel was great, but the reason people come and want to come back is the food, and that left much to be desired. 6. Recommendation * Would you return? Likely no, this was a one and done in my book. Unless something changed and they revitalized their menu and or kitchen strategy. I never say never, but we left feeling mildly satisfied with about $100 less than we walked in with.

For our main food was the New York steak and shrimp with mozzarella garlic mushrooms which was really good. We asked for a medium cook on it and it was more on the rare side. The shrimp was cooked very well and seasoned nicely. Also ordered was shrimp Alfredo. The sauce was nice and not too thin, the shrimp was still a good size and nice to bite into. Then ordered was the seafood platter. The crab cake was nice, the clams, shrimps and fish was nicely cooked and seasoned. Our waitress was very nice. The atmosphere felt very homey. It is on the pricey side to eat here. But we will be back to try other things.

Richelle ordered the BLT wrap and cheese curds, we only ate the cheese curds, she ate 1/4 of the Large salad. Yummy cheese curds, would love to see a signature dipping sauce to take these curds over the top. We left with an entire BLT wrap and half of the large salad to take home. Nice clean dinning space in the back for our 11 person group. Service was good, small wait for all the drinks, several deliveries but I think our server was possibly working without a servers tray.

Next time I will ask for medium rare. It was properly seasoned and had good beefy flavor. The veggies were fresh and crisp and the bun was properly toasted. I substituted a side salad for the french fries. It arrived with a small mountain of cheese ... and my first reaction was worry that maybe it was hiding olde, brown lettuce. Nope. It was an excellent salad! The service was excellent. Good teamwork by the two waitresses inspired that hot food, was served hot and they kept my water glass full. Will I return? Absolutely, yes!

We were greeted by the manager as we walked in and seated right away. I'm currently using a walker, so we were seated in the main floor which consisted of bar seating and 3 tables packed together. I saw later that they have plenty of seats upstairs, so I'm sure seating would be more spread out there. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We started off with cocktails and which were only $10! I ordered the BLMT (bacon, arugula, mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, and pesto. served on golden italian bread). It was delicious and I would order it again, but if bacon is the first ingredient listed, there should be more than 2 strips on the entire sandwich.

The dinning room is nice, low light and low music playing. It seemed to get a little smokey in there but it wasn't bothersome. Our server was so lovely! And another lady that was floating around checking on tables was very sweet and fun! We really struggled with our ordering and "locking it in"...therefore we ended up ordering what felt like half the menu. For appetizers, we got calamari and the baked crab dip. The calamari was pretty light and delicious. The crab dip was heavy and but had a great flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the chips but it was great with the bread that came to our table. The bread basket came out steaming and the butter was amazing we had to ask for extra. The butter is whipped and has green onions in it. Hubby and daughter each got clam chowder--it was different from what they are used to (and they are both clam chowder connoisseurs) but they still thought it was very good--just thinner and a lot more meaty ingredients. Daughter loved the halibut with risotto. Hubby really enjoyed the boathouse burger--bacon jam was new for him but he loved it. Though the burger was messy--he definitely cleaned the plate. My seafood platter was pretty good, I ate the scallops and coconut shrimp first. Then came our next dilemma...dessert!! So we each got one! Crème Brûlée, Highlander Grogg Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet. Everything was a hit!!

I heard their breakfast is usually amazing. I decided to try their open face turkey and I got the half portion which was a small sliver of turkey not even worth mentioning. But it was good.
