The view is the only redeeming thing about this place. We made a reservation on line through Yelp, which worked great. When we arrived, we were greeted by a surly hostess and we informed her that our reservation was at 6:30 (time was 6:24). She said "we will seat you right at 6". There was no one in the place and no one waiting! We stood awkwardly in the lobby for 6 minutes and she took us to our lakeside table. Great setting! The waiter took our drink order while we waited for our friends. Four times in about ten minutes, random waiters showed up with drinks for other people. Do they have any kind of system? We ordered pretzels and cheese. "Cheese" is over-microwaved cheese whiz with stale pretzels. We had to ask for plates, napkins and silverware and waited ten minutes to receive. The drinks were all tasty. We ordered fish and chips, a burger and ribs. The burger was good, ribs so-so and fish and chips arrived stone cold after 45 minute wait. The waiter took back the fish and chips, where I am certain they re-fried the same pieces and brought them back hot, but overcooked and chewy. Fries were soggy. Our friends were nearly done eating when we got our food. Waiter offers free desert vs. any kind of comp on the meal--very lame. The restaurant was half empty for most of the night, but the bar was very lively. This appears to be a 30-something neighborhood scene and probably great if all you want is a cocktail. I sadly cannot recommend for a meal.
