I took my dog there yesterday and sat on the patio. Luke was my server. For an 18yr old server, his greet time, menu and marketing knowledge as to keeping up with what he sells most, WAS IMPRESSIVE.
I am a stylist/salon owner and a server. I guess you could say Guest Service is my passion. I'm kinda picky and obsessive about guest service, food quality and presentation. I will joke around with you and tell you I'm not. But actually, I am very much that guest.
I am however, a nobody that has ate out a lot all over the United States doing hair shows. I just happened to google dog friendly restaurants on the river. Nobody referred me. In fact, I ask several people at the Chicamunga dam area what restaurant I should try that was on the river and patio pet friendly. Nobody said anything about this hidden gem.... Which in my personal opinion their regular guest should be spanked for not spreading the word. How do you think Family owned and operated stay in business, WORD OF MOUTH PEOPLE, WORD OF MOUTH.
Everyone of the staff members that Sadie and I came in contact with were above and beyond friendly. They were all informative as to who they worked for and the history of their employer and employees such as to who their chef is and that he is very culinary trained. They even gave me the run down to the surrounding neighborhood and took the time to introduce me to some locals that were regularly there.
I can go on and on about how much Sadie and I enjoyed ourselves but I won't. I will leave you with this.
The chef is above and beyond 5 star quality. I not only tasted the delicious individual flavors of each of my dishes. My meal was visually presentable like a Christmas package you hate to open. Which basically means. The chefs presentation was straight on point down to the size my salsa was diced on my taco's. His French Onion Soup was the very best I have ever tasted in my 47 year old Life.... My Sadie and I also loved the complementary chips with their signature chipotle ranch.
I will put it to you like this.. We arrived around 5:30p.m. and left when they were closing. My tab was around 30.00 or so counting my alcohol beverages. That's what I call a dining experience in my book. Even after I had closed my tab each and every employee still checked on us to ensure my needs were met... WOW! Let me tell you, that never happens.. And I mean Ever...
I will be back. I will also spread the word like your 70 yr old Aunt Bettye Lou after a church revival. LOL. It is my new FAVORITE FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED GEM ON THE WATER. It's called LAKESHORE GRILLE....
They are a team you can taste it in the flavors.... WOW, Simply AMAZING.
I can't wait to go back!!! read more
