| - So... Lots to love, lots to hate. As with other reviewers, I agree that the concept is great, but the execution is horrible. I think they grossly underestimated how popular this place would be. The kitchen just isn't the right size for the demand for food. This is why people have to wait so long for tables, even when several are open. They just can't keep up with the demand.
Food... It's generally pretty good. We've had a few hiccups, but nothing that hasn't happened elsewhere.
We are beer drinkers, so we really like the draft and bottled beer selection. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the beers (the table servers, less so).
Atmosphere... Can't be beat. The outside patio in summer is THE place to be. Adirondack chairs invite you to sit and chill out while you enjoy the view of the lake, while the kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and the occasional pedal boat come and go at the rental place right next door.
Bathrooms... TERRIBLE. This is the reason for the 2 rating. The women's restroom always smells like raw sewage, and the paper towel dispensers are rarely filled. Instead, they just set a roll out on the counter, which results in one or both edges being saturated from sitting in water. To make matters worse, the bathroom serves park goers as well as restaurant patrons, and has a door that opens to the outside. This is a sexual assault waiting to happen.
On our last visit, I went I to the bathroom at the same time as a server. She did not wash her hands after using the bathroom.
In conclusion... I REALLY want this place to get its act together. I'm just not sure they can overcome the negatives.
