Deal Lake Bar + Co is a perfect spot for a date night, as per the reviews. It has a lively, modern atmosphere and offers both indoor and outdoor dining. The food is excellent and the service is commendable. The outdoor patio with a lakeside bar is a special highlight. The restaurant is open for weekdays, but weekends are first-come-first-serve, which adds to the spontaneous, relaxed date night vibe.

Our waiter And servers were professional and pleasant. The food was excellent. My pork chop was delicious! The pistachio martini was also excellent. There was a fairly large table toward the back of the room that was extremely loud. That was the only negative part of our experience.

Never had a bad experience at the Grand. The salad starters are always great and the red lettuce salad we had last night was no exception. Delicious and ample. I had the duck and wife the ‘ ol reliable burger. Both were excellent.
