  Best parts of this place seem to be the drinks and service. Great waiter who was very attentive. Bloody Mary was okay, good consistency but on the sweeter side with a small kick. I ordered the Mahi-Maui fish n' chips. The fries were good and crispy but the fish were basically sticks and were somewhat rubbery. For the price, definitely not worth it. The batter would have been a lot better if the fish were bigger pieces. The rest of my group liked the food but nothing stood out. Had the crab dip for appetizer which was flavorful and very creamy but the crab was scarce. Given the limited restaurants, not a bad place to eat but I would stick the the more simple options.

  Don't go in with a large group! We went in on a Sunday afternoon with 6 adults and 4 children and they couldn't seat us. Okay we are a larger group, but seriously the restaurant had 1 table being used, yes a total of TWO people in the ENTIRE restaurant! Seriously??? Just close up on Sunday if you don't want to serve people.

  We helped our daughter move into Trine and wanted to grab a bite to eat. The restaurant our daughter wanted to eat at was closed, so we chose this place.  So glad we did!! We asked to sit outside to enjoy the breeze from the lake, and it was fun watching the boats idle by! We had heard the service wasn't so great, but our server, Lori, was fantastic! She was attentive and very friendly.  I ordered the crab cakes (they were the best I've ever had!), my husband had the fish tacos (again, the best he's ever had!), and our daughter had the bruschetta (note, it was not a flatbread, but a thick and doughy bread.  She inhaled it despite the olives). It was spendy, but we felt the quality and atmosphere were worth it.  The inside has a small bar area and the dining area is also quite small, but nicely decorated.   We were here about 3, so it was not busy at all.  We will be back!!

  To start out with the good...Our server was sweet and the atmosphere on the outside deck is great. As for to food.... Horribly dry and bland fish, no way it was fresh, maybe reheated 3 times. My fries were soggy. WAY overpriced for the quality of food. If you're looking for a great view and drinks this is your spot, don't come here hungry.

  Have been here three times over 6 months. Each time very slow service.
