They have baked goods, but we were told there is no way to heat it up... inspite of a sign saying we serve cinnamon rolls hot. How is that? Parking to go to the coffee shop if you aren't living at the lodge is a tricky situation. The lobby seating to the Lodge is beautiful and the view from the lobby is worthwhile, so if you want to experience this without paying $600 a night to stay at the Lodge, it's worth overspending on some bad coffee, but otherwise any other coffee shop will be a better pick.

I'm giving this place a full 5 stars, not just for the delicious food, but for the way the staff…read morehandled an unexpected emergency while keeping everything running seamlessly. First things first: parking. It's limited and easy to miss, so keep an eye out. The restaurant itself is cozy--only two tables inside plus a small bar. If you're coming with a group larger than four, the outdoor picnic tables are definitely your best bet. They offer $10 wine bottle specials, which we, of course, took full advantage of. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They moved us inside as soon as a table opened up--and that's exactly when an emergency occurred. A guest tripped on the stairs while leaving, and the team had to call an ambulance. Despite the situation, the staff stayed calm, efficient, and compassionate. They managed the emergency, continued serving guests, and our food still arrived promptly. The dishes were flavorful and authentic, portions were generous, and the prices were absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

Nice breeze, but cars driving by sort of dampened the "atmosphere". Live acoustic musician, nice job on that. Waitress came out pretty quick, took our order and got it going. Decent selection of stuff on the menu. Wife ordered the Baked meatballs and a side house salad. I ordered the meatball sub with kettle chips and a small Caesar salad. Food arrived. Portions were quite large. Meatballs were tasty. Good flavor. The sauce, good but I couldn't help but have recollections of something from a jar. But still tasted good. The Caesar salad, couldn't quite put my finger on it, but seemed too leafy than the usual romaine. Over all, not fantastic, but not disappointing. We seemed fortunate as for service. We did walk in and ask if we could sit outside so we were acknowledged and then the waitress came and followed up pretty quickly. There was a group of about 6 adults with / little kids that sat themselves and we never saw either waitress go over to them, so after a while they got up and left. Would we come back? Yeh, knowing not to expect too much special.

The food was absolutely delicious -- we enjoyed raw oysters, lobster, and shrimp, and every dish was fresh and full of flavor. The staff made our night extra special by surprising us with a complimentary crème brûlée to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. I also had an excellent old-fashioned, and we loved getting to try some new whiskeys from Alabama that we'd never had before. To top it all off, we ended the evening outside on the deck enjoying the beautiful weather and night sky. It was the perfect atmosphere for a special night out. We'll definitely be back! Shout out to our server Gabe, he was the best!

If heaven had a tasting room, it would look exactly like Crush Wines -- only heaven probably…read moredoesn't have $5 mimosas or a $12.99 wine table right by the door that makes you feel like you just stumbled into a treasure chest for adults. From the moment you walk in, Tonya, Lisa, and Suzanne treat you like an old friend who happens to have great taste. Need a wine to pair with dinner, impress a date, or survive your in-laws? They somehow read your soul and hand you the perfect bottle. Seriously, Suzanne's wine knowledge borders on psychic. She'll hand you something that tastes like it should cost $100, and then tell you it's under $20. You'll double-check the label just to make sure you heard her right. The place is spotless--like, "you could perform surgery on the countertop" clean--and the back patio has a stunning water view that pairs perfectly with a glass (or three). The bacon-wrapped dates? Little bites of heaven. The pizza? So authentic it makes you start planning a trip to Italy... or at least a return trip here next weekend. Whether you're planning a date night, a social hangout, or just grabbing a bottle for dinner at home, Crush Wines nails it. Funny thing is, you'll come for the wine, but you'll stay for the vibe--and probably leave with a new favorite bottle, a full belly, and the urge to hug Suzanne for being a wine wizard.

The food is delicious and cooked to perfection -- everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. It's a great kid- and family-friendly venue with lots to do.

The location is convenient with plenty of parking, a little off the beaten path from the main beach, but totally worth it. We can't wait to go back next year and will definitely make Tacky Jack's a regular stop for lunch and dinner on vacation!
