| - Had lunch here the Saturday before Christmas. Right on the lake, great view. We sat by the bar closest to the lake. The restaurant is pretty big with plenty of seating. It wasn't busy when we arrived.
Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but she was a young girl with dark hair. They have a pretty extensive menu. I should say, menus. Yes, plural. A bit confusing, but we decided on a glass of Riesling, an old fashioned for my SO and fried pickles to start. He wasn't a fan of their version of the old fashioned but did not complain. We devoured the fried pickles within minutes. We were hungry and they were breaded and salted to perfection. The sriracha and horseradish dipping sauces were great, too.
For our main entrees, I ordered the Cajun shrimp and grits and the SO ordered the fried catfish with fried mashed potatoes and pickled cabbage. To be honest, I was a bit turned off by the shrimp and grits at first. It looked soupy. But just like the saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover!" As soon as I took a bite I was sold. It was full of flavor and they were not stingy with the shrimp and sausage. I was very pleased. Although I did not try the catfish and mashed potatoes, my SO really enjoyed his meal as well. No complaints from him and he ate all his food. We decided to order dessert: butterscotch creme brulee with gingerbread cookies on the side and key lime pie. Mmm, mmm, mmm! They hit our sugar spots. We practically licked the creme brulee dish clean. We couldn't finish the key lime pie and the cookies that came with the creme brulee, so we took them to go.
Pretty satisfied with our lunch experience. Good food, great portions, reasonable prices, beautiful view, and wonderful customer service! We will be back, hopefully when it's warmer so we can enjoy the patio.
