Excellent location. Food and drink quality decent. Waitstaff friendly enough. The patio on the lake is the big draw. Went about 5pm on a Saturday. Expected patio to be busy. All the open tables were in the direct sun so we found a shady place at a long bar on patio with signs saying to go order at the bar. My foot was hurting and about 6 waitstaff were standing in front of us waiting for the rush to hit. I asked if there was any way we could get service where we were. No, so I walked to the bar and ordered food and drink and brought the items to our seats. Being a long time restaurant waiter, bar manager and general manager I thought it was a waste that I was more than willing to pay someone to transport my items and bring water and offered to pre tip them for the service, waitstaff were standing not 3 feet from us waiting for their sections to be filled. Finally my companion asked to sit at a table so we could be served. We sat in the direct sun, we had food in front of us already so we still couldn't get service, I flagged someone down for water and they did bring it but still no one would wait on us. To be fair my companion was annoying. It was such a frustrating experience. I finally walked back up to the bar and paid my bill, left a 25% tip, left a few dollars on the table for the buser. Not feeling the love. Managment oblivious.
