We had lunch here after our sons baptism and could not be more satisfied with this restaurant. It was roughly 30 people and I can honestly say that every single person really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and attentive, too. I can’t say it enough, but the food is amazing. Highly recommend for large parties or just a casual dinner for 2. Thank you for making our sons baptism an even better day!

We made a reservation almost a week in advance for 4:30pm early dinner, as we had to catch a 6:45pm showing of a movie that was almost 3 hours long. I even confirmed with the woman who "took" the reservation if they opened that early and she said, oh yeah we open at 3:30 here at Lake St (there's another location??). We were celebrating our anniversary and we picked this restaurant over others in the vicinity (which we weren't familiar with) because of the excellent reviews, and I shared that with her. When we arrived, we were a little dismayed because it was on a strip mall location with an online gambling right by it. Didn't look anything special at all. But we thought, maybe the food is really good and it's nicer inside. When we went it, it was dark and dingy. There seemed to be at least 2 big group events going on, and 2 female employees were just standing in the bar watching the revelry while we stood at the greeter stand for 5 minutes, waiting to be acknowledged/seated. Finally I went up to them and politely excused myself and informed them we have a reservation. Then one of them rudely said, with a tone of incredulity, You made a reservation??! I nicely said, yes and we're a party of 2. The women then just casually gestured around and dismissively said they have 3 first communion parties and if we were okay sitting at the bar, we're welcome to. At this point, my husband was incensed, so he urged me to go somewhere else. As a parting shot, I said ok, we'll go somewhere else since it's our anniversary... to that they said as an excuse, aw the parties here just went over their time and took over the place...I hope you come back some other time! The decent thing for them to do was to have given me a call if that was really the case. But the way we were received, it sounded they weren't even aware of the reservation, (they didn't even check any book to verify mine). We ended up at Lucia Rose, which was right across the movie theater. It was a much nicer restaurant, the kind we were looking for! The hostess and wait staff and even the manager were all so attentive and friendly even though they were so busy (got busy at around 6pm). The food was incredible! Giving 5 well-deserved stars to that one!
