Yay food poisoning! I came in for a view of the lake, a few drinks and some food with family while being in the area. When staff greeted us to take our table number, they informed us of a 30 minute wait and that they prefer we waited at a packed bar while the inside restaurant was empty. When we inquired about taking a seat inside and being moved out when a table became available, the hostess repeated that she preferred we stand at the bar and proceeded to whisper to her otherwise blank faced mute co-worker. Fine, no prob...bar it was. The wait time was quick and the patio was lovely and lively at sunset. The wait staff though attentive, could have been friendlier and could have known the contents of the menu better. Menu questions were often answered by handing us a menu and walking away while no suggestions were given. Reviews about this place are mixed so it seems that it's hit or miss. The hardest part about the night were the muscles. I just finished puking them up. After receiving a heaping and steaming late of muscles I brought the odd odor to the attention of the waitress.
There was an odd fishy barn yard smell to the muscles. They offered to bring a fresh plate out and they were cold and smelled the same. Not entirely sure that what I recieved was actually a fresh plate because now Im writing this review from my bed after puking my guts out for the last 15 minutes.
The kitchens I've worked in would never have allowed food to go out smelling that way. Stupid of me to trust that the meal was safe...but you tend to trust establishments that have been in a spot for a while and who's wait staff offer to help fix the issue.
Needles to say I won't be returning to this restaurant and I urge you to consider other spots too. Where the food prep is safer.
