    Been here several times one of the better places in NWI. Filet is ok, chicken Marsala ok, sirloin solid, calamari solid, buffalo shrimp best app IMO. In the summer we enjoy the burgers and fish tacos more than the main entrees. Best you can do food wise with a lake view unless driving to the city. Will visit again but it’s not gonna knock your socks off
