“Beautiful dining experience.”

This spot is lovely. The view of the lake is amazing and the dining room is stunning. The food is awesome too. I highly suggest you book a table here. The piano adds a level of elegance too. The bar was full and looked like a local crowd as well as tourists. The patio is a lovely spot to have a pre-dinner drink too. Really enjoyed this spot. The service was amazing, too.
