| - Decided to check out this place because it is a cute and romantically lit with string lights bar by the lake.
First off, the place was a bit hidden. However, sitting by the bar looking out to the lake, especially during sunset, is an awesome trade-off. Our server was very nice and attentive. She was also the bartender who made our awesome drinks: Manhattan and Moscow Mules. She even asked for a whiskey preference when it comes to Manhattan :)
We ordered a grilled salmon with a side of rice and a affettato misto sandwich with fries. Sadly, the food couldn't compare to the great service and drinks. My sandwich was VERY dry. The ciabatta bread was a little bit stale. The supposed-to-be homemade pesto is too basil-y and tasted like it came from a store-bought jar. The lettuce was also not so fresh-looking. At this point, the only thing I was looking forward to trying is my side order of simply basic fries. It turned out to be so-so: plain and not crispy :( My friend's salmon was gamey and the rice was super bland, which was describe to be somewhat like a grainy mush...
Overall, great atmosphere for a casual and fun date, awesome drinks, decent price. However, food needs a lot of improvement so maybe eat before then come by for drinks afterward!
