Maximum BurgerNovember 6, 2016I wanted to like this place with its scenic setting - but we had high prices, small portions, inattentive (even if kind) service... and mac and cheese and bacon were both dry and bland.
eric bornemannFebruary 9, 2020Limited menu and slightly cramped dining room but good for out of town guests who want a view.
Cobb salad is my fave. But have it with the citrus vinaigrette not the ranch.
The spinach artichoke dip tickled my fancy. Plus, Cat the bartender is amazing. Very attentive!
Avin NarasimhanAugust 8, 2015You come here for the views and to eat by the water. Food is just average. Sit at the bar and stick with the drinks.
