Nice food, and super duper when you forget your picnic basket and have gone all skeletal. But as others have said, this place ain't cheap for what you get. I'm not sure if they factor-in extra costs because it's an island and requires extra transportation. I can't imagine it costs THAT much more to ferry olives across the lake. The patio is very nice and homey (not landscaped or dolled up, just like a regular back yard).
Basically, if you go to Wards Island and are desperate for a bite....or if you're planning to splurge, then this place is great.
Oh, and this summer I had a waitress who made me feel like coughing up more dough. She was the most delightful, theatrical, outgoing, crazy lady!! A total hoot whom I did not mind tipping biggly.
