I have been coming here since 2021 and I love the view and the live music! I used to come to see Timmy Maia on Mondays several times a summer. I saw Carrie Ashton on Monday and she and Jeff were fantastic! The menu is smaller, which was a bummer. I typically get a chicken sandwich and it was not on the menu. I don't know if there was less wait staff because at a certain point, our server forgot about us. But Overall, I will be back!

It was a great experience with our kiddos. The live music and scenery was great. Lots of people were even up dancing. Food was good, but don't expect a lot of options to choose from. The place was also packed and it was very tough finding parking. I'd definitely recommend going here & very glad we had reservations.

he view and live music made for a wonderful atmosphere, and we especially enjoyed Michael, the young host who seemed to be running circles around some of the more experienced staff. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were expensive for what was delivered. Service was inconsistent, and it was disappointing to see meals served on paper plates with plastic utensils at those prices. We know from events you've catered that you're capable of serving excellent food, which makes it hard to understand why the deck experience doesn't reflect that same quality. With a stronger menu and improved service, this could be a truly outstanding destination.
