    Poor value for our tastes. Only went there as was given a gift certificate of $75, and still left $37 to boot - for 2 of us, including 18% gratuity. Service was good, and you are filled up if you like a pound of mashed potatoes in the entre! No bread served unless you get soup. Alternate choice of salad did have plentiful, large croutons that are crunchy, but not hard like common ones are. Ambience is definitely not up to the price paid. Nothing against young families (we were one once), but really?!

    Nice spot with pleasant view. Make sure to get a table with a lake view or you are overpaying for it.
