“American classics, including lots of fish, in relaxed, upscale digs with windows open to the water.”

“If you have a boat, this is a can't miss spot! It's about a 15 minute ride from our cove. They have a great little beach for the kids. There is live music, cold drinks, and great "bar food".”

“Lake front fun with lots of eye candy to boot! Sand volleyball and a large sand beach make this a destination for lunch or dinner fun on the lake. We love the fish tacos here and to spend hours playing volleyball with a boat full of friends around sunset. A true lake destination, don't miss this place. About a 25 minute boat ride from Little Blue.”

“This is a great place to go for BBQ food. Very good smoked wings here, excellent decor inside, sometimes have a live band playing.”

“I prefer it for a great lunch - awesome lake view; dinner is also great just a little more expensive.”
