Anytime I can dine near water, I’m happy. This restaurant has an absolutely beautiful view with which to enjoy your meal, as it’s located directly right next to West Lake. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I feel like food selection could be better,...though they prepare well what they do offer. More options that are both vegan, gluten-free, AND delicious would bring this place up a notch (at the very least, a Beyond Meat burger or something, and more hearty salad options with vegan GF dressing options?). Skinny truffle fries (instead the boring chunks of potato called steak fries) would be nice as an alternative as well.
For the patio, the greenery they added this year is absolutely beautiful and takes the ambiance from very good to great! I do wish they would add a permanent awning so we could dine outside during a warm summer rain (any chance to be outside after long winters are helpful), and perhaps a see through sunshade facing west for extremely hot days.
All in all though, this is still a nice place to dine because you can’t beat the ambiance and the view, especially in summer!More
