    It is a nice restaurant with the beautiful view of the lake. The food was very good though a little pricey, but that is expected for waterfront 90 service was good. The music was a bit loud for conversation, but I am also getting kind of old we will go back.

    Thank you Sarah. I am glad you ladies enjoyed your visit. The sunset was beautiful Saturday night. Your table was right beside the band, so I can understand if it was a little loud. Tell the hostess on your next visit and she will be glad to seat you farther away from the band.

    The Pistachio Crusted Cod was fabulous! 3 of the 4 at our table had the cod. My filet was cooked perfectly. The Banana Cheese Cake was fabulous!
    The Wake ClubResponded 7 days ago
    Greg, I think the Cod is now one of my favorite specials that Chef has made. He outdoes himself every week. I am glad you like the Banana Cheesecake. That was a new one for the fall and it seems to be a huge hit! Delicious!!

    We arrived on time and were greeted at the door! We were given a choice of seating, inside with charm or the enclosure that was overlooking the lake! We chose inside, both choices were awesome! Our waitress was excellent, knowledgeable and friendly, and very accommodating. We were in good hands, Cindy (Lou) kept me in check all night, and she is top of the line! Our food was prepared perfectly, a Filet and a Po Boy (Shrimp) and an extra skewer of shrimp! I wish I had taken pictures! We are making plans for a return trip soon!

    The Wake club provides a relaxed and comfortable environment to enjoy good food and music on a Sat night. Although it was too dark to enjoy the lovely lake views our good food and service more than made up for it. And the music was really fun. Highly recommended.
    The Wake ClubResponded on 16 November 2024
    Thank you Denise! I am so glad you enjoyed your experience with us. We have started opening at 4pm for dinner service so everyone can enjoy the beautiful sunsets. We look forward to your next visit.

    We absolutely loved The Wake! It was a last minute decision as we were arriving later to town than expected and the Wake exceeded our expectations! The staff were all so sweet and attentive and rhetorical food was to die for! I would recommend them 1000/10!!

    We attended The Tin Cup Bourbon Tasting Menu dinner. Boy, the menu was absolutely fantastic! Ever part of the dinner was scrumptious. Starting with the hot honey & bacon wrapped shrimp skewer on a bed of arugula & micro greens paired with the Stranahan’s Single Malt Sherry Whiskey (which should be added to the menu) to the spinach & arugula salad with a hot bourbon & bacon vinaigrette to the Prime Rib or Ahi Tuna and finished with the chocolate bourbon lava cake paired with the Tin Cup Rye (yum), Tin Cup Bourbon and Tin Cup 10 year old respectively, yum yum, yum & yum. Everything was great. Food, bourbon, atmosphere, service, chef & expert whiskey explanations made for an incredible evening. Sign us up for the next event. Worth every penny! Our party had a truly great time! Thanks

    Greg, Thank you for this great review. The evening was amazing! Chef Alex and his team did an amazing job with everything. I can't decide which is my favorite, the shrimp, tuna or that lava cake! We are already in planning mode for the next events coming up, so keep watching on FB. Thank you again for attending our first event here at The Wake Club. We are so pleased it was a huge success!

    Great live music and a great meal. We both loved the blackened catfish dinner and the sunset view. Highly recommend.
