Always a great time. Beautiful lake views, great service, and a good mix of foods on the menu. The atmosphere is very cool as you are on a floating restaurant / bar surrounded by the lake and a marina full of boats. Usually have music on weekends. Wait times can be long but can’t beat the view while waiting. Accessible by boat or car.

If you are looking for a somewhat unique setting, this is the place for you. The food is awesome. The views are amazing. It’s a breath of fresh air. Also, I can bring my little fur babies here without a problem. I wish I had taken more food pic but it was so good that I completely forgot😩 the staff could be a little more friendly though— just saying✌️

An amazing set up. Gorgeous views of the water. Lots of parking, places to wait or just wander. The hostess stand was friendly. The servers were helpful and efficient. The value of food and drinks was reasonable. The food was decent, we had lobster roll, Nashville hot chicken and seafood pasta.
Live music was good, entertaining and engaging.
Welcomed dogs, water bowls were available and there were several dogs in today.

Just found this little gem, Great and I mean great on the water location. Food was good but the drinks were better, lol. Heard they close for the winter unfortunately but for the area this is tops so far. Can't get closer to being on the water than being on the water. Great staff also! Stephanie was able to keep up and was more than helpful in helping us choose our meal and drink selection.

This is the only floating restaurant on Lanier which is pretty neat! The entire restaurant is outdoors, but it felt very good with the breeze. We ordered the Pete’s hot chicken sandwich and the blackened salmon spinach salad. Both were very tasty, and I highly recommend.

The fact that this restaurant has decent reviews baffles me. Absolutely horrible. Extremely crowded. Table wait time estimate was an hour off. Just as we were about to throw in the towel on the place, what do you know the table is ready. Yea we waited about 2 and a half hours for overpriced cafeteria chicken tender garbage. Don't come here in mid June. You'd be better off driving 5 miles to a different restaurant.

All of the food we ordered was excellent. Our waitress Stephanie was very good too. Can't wait to go back

I'm giving two stars for atmosphere alone because the rest of the experience was horrible. From the rude hostess, to the bad service and food that had been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period while the server was busy talking to the off duty police officer. The grilled chicken salad lettuce was warm and wilted. The wings were actually cool. The price was what you expected for quality food but unfortunately this is becoming a common theme with restaurants on the lake.
