Most often it’s about the food for me,but in this venue it is equally about the atmosphere. That said, the food is decent, drinks not bad, and the wait staff friendly and accommodating.

We loved this place! The scenery is so New England- and you can see all the way across the lake to NY! The lobster roll was delicious and the wait staff were so friendly! This is a must go to place when in Burlington

Stopped here for a drink before having dinner elsewhere. Got a spot right along the edge of the dock, so we could see the boats and water up close. It was a lovely time. Might even return for lunch tomorrow!

The chicken nachos were perfect. I will go back strictly for those. Flavor, texture, quantity. Everything on point. Our Server was attentive without being overbearing. The view is great. Not cheap, but better than several places we’ve been downtown. Top 3 in Burlington (so far) in my book.

This place is all about the atmosphere. It’s a great location on the water with wonderful views of the sunset over the Adirondacks. However the food sort of stinks. I used to work here and they used

Nice place on the lake. It was a little cool when we were there and with outside seating only a couple heaters would be nice. I absolutely loved the ambiance.

The food was fine, servers were kind and the dock was gorgeous. The main issues were the entrees and the hornets. At no point during my meal was I not being attacked by multiple hornets. The wait staff didnt seem to care as this was ‘normal’ to them. I had the chicken sandwich and my girlfriend had the fish tacos. Chicken sandwich was quite fine, totally edible but not worth the price. Fish tacos were the same. Overall the food left quite a lot to be desired, disappointing but edible. The only thing I could really recommend was the parmesan fries, as it’s tough to ruin parmesan fries. I can’t recommend eating here, it was a terrible meal. It was our anniversary and this meal was so bad we’re doing a do-over next weekend. Don’t eat here, don’t throw away your money on disappointment.

We ordered fish tacos. The fish was extremely well done , it was like a chip consistency- crispy. When I asked for the fish to be replaced I was told I would be charged for 2 orders. They would not make it right unless I paid. Manager was the waitress that was serving us. Young , very poor customer service. The only thing nice was the view. Do not come for the food. If the owner reads I welcome further conversation.

I’ve been wanting to stop in for a while, but was somewhat disappointed by the service. The hostesses were so kind, but the waitresses we had were quite the opposite :/ unemotional and super dry. It felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there and they were unfriendly/silent whenever dropping off food, water, or other drinks. I’ve worked in the service industry and totally understand it’s a busy season, but the lack of politeness was off-putting to say the least.
