We hear about this restaurant over the internet. This is our first time here. The lake view is relaxing. A lot of families eating together. Because the internet said they open at 400pm. We already ate but we buy a brownie with ice cream and keylime pie and at viewing the lake. A nice afternoon in front of the lake.

The owners are so nice and accommodating ! The food is delicious and consistently so. The grilled grouper is a family favorite. It’s always so nice to drive up in your boat to be able to go to dinner overlooking the water.
