| - We were in the Oberlin/Cleveland area looking for a new spot to eat, and found this place on Lake Erie. We had checked the website before going and thought it looked like an elegant restaurant, with seating outside on the water. The photos of the food and views looked amazing, so we decided to give it a try. (Fancy seafood, served on white linens, with boats docked on the water...just beautiful!)
However, when we got there, after driving through a not-so-attractive neighborhood, we were highly disappointed. Yes, the sunset was gorgeous...but it was almost instantly forgotten when we stepped inside a dirty vestibule. The only way into the restaurant was by entering a stairwell (think smelly fire escape). The actual restaurant was no better. It was not the classy place represented on the website at all! Instead, it was patrons wearing t-shirts and shorts, sticky tables, and tacky, plastic decorations. There were "jackalopes" in photos, stuffed animals, etc. everywhere! (What are they anyway? --We never found out.)
It didn't get better when the food arrived. The prime rib was dry and poorly prepared. The mussels were smaller than a penny, and the chicken parmigiana was tough. We will never return. Please, think twice before trying it.
