| - The plus side: Gorgeous views, delicious crab cakes, nice staff and ambiance.
The minus side: The onion rings. PSA- do not be temped by the onion rings.
For me, the lake view really made the experience.The food was in general good, with a few rock stars and a few misses. Overall, I was not "wowed." Which is why I'm dealing out 3 star
What I tried:
Crab cake lyonnaise- fantastic, this was one of the rock stars. One of the best crab cakes I've ever had.
Waygu meatballs- did not like the texture at all. Not quite seasoned enough. Was better when used as a spread on bread.
Lobster bisque- lovely, very rich, very flavorful. You should order this.
Grilled Atlantic swordfish- Fish was cooked perfectly but simply. Served with roasted red potatoes that were very boring.
Grass fed beef tenderloin- added steak diane enhancement- delicious, but not quite cooked as ordered. Did not ask for a re-fire, but i'm sure they would have happily done so.
Potato hash browns, horseradish cream, arugula- it's one really big hash brown that is about 5 inches in diameter. Not enough sauce but was pretty good
Beer and vodka battered onion rings- very oily, not flavorful. Would not recommend at all. Our server was very nice when we said we did not love them and look it off the bill. Which was very nice and above and beyond.
Pear tart- The worst. The crust was so hard it could only be sawed apart with a steak knife and the pears were very hard and lacked flavor. The red wine reduction, however, was very nice.
Overall, I would probably come back and was definitely worth the visit. I'll be back, but may be in a year or two.
