I have a takeout order and I was disappointed already because I had trouble online ordering and they offer a burger for the first time ordering ever on the app. When I called the person that answered said there's nothing they can do. So I took a picture of the front door that has the manager's number. Since they have such low reviews, I thought I would try this place because I have a gift card. That was part of the problem I paid with my gift card online before I realized that I had to add on the Burger myself. I'm not really great at ordering online yet.

For lunch, we ordered the steak salad, salmon entree (daily special), perch + chips, and a Greek salad with chicken. I ordered the steak salad which was great! Loved the red onions and blue cheese. The steak was generous. Located right on the water, it was a beautiful winter day. I can only imagine how pretty it is during the spring and summer too.

The onion soup came out cold - the bowl was hotter than the soup. The soup base was creamy and there were too many croutons and onions in the soup. The cheese on the top was delicious. Chicken Caesar was nothing to brag about. The chicken was horribly charred and dry. I do not like the char on the lettuce leaf, but the dressing was good. Please go back to making a traditional Caesar and clean your grill so that you don't burn meat. We had the baby lamb chops for an appetizer and they were awesome! Great dip with them too.
