“Beautiful dining experience.”

This spot is lovely. The view of the lake is amazing and the dining room is stunning. The food is awesome too. I highly suggest you book a table here. The piano adds a level of elegance too. The bar was full and looked like a local crowd as well as tourists. The patio is a lovely spot to have a pre-dinner drink too. Really enjoyed this spot. The service was amazing, too.

From beautiful views, to stellar service, and live piano music during dinner - it was a GRAND evening! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and had great flavors. We have always wanted to try this restaurant and we are so glad we did. We will be back.
