| - My first and not last time here was pretty excellent. After a few hours on the lake, my ladies who lunch decided to eat here and no one was disappointed.
I have to say, I'm the pickiest, most judgemental of our group of 5 and I have no complaints at all. We ate at a bar table because the restaurant seemed full and there was no way in hell we were going to sit outside in 95°F+ weather after being on a boat all morning, so it fit our group just fine. The patio did seem inviting with lakefront/boat views and shady umbrellas...but maybe next time.
We started with the fried asparagus appetizer and the spinach artichoke dip. The dressing underneath the tempura'd asparagus was nutty, a little sweet and definitely accompanied the dish. The arugula piled on top wasn't dressed, but that didn't detract from anything. The stalagmite recreation of chips sticking out of the dip made me giggle because it seemed so 1990s, but the dip was decent. Not as good as the asparagus, though.
I ordered the grilled shrimp salad and it was flavorful and light, thanks to the bacon bits. It came tossed with a vinaigrette but it only left an oil slick on my greens, no flavor. The shrimp were simple and on a skewer with no tails. Next time I'll try a burger, like most of my friends did. No... next time I'm going to visit this place for brunch. I really want to see what they do with brunch.
