Amalfi Marina Bar (Dockside)

Food is still great. And it just keeps getting better. Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and had the carnitas tacos and a fish taco on blue corn tortillas 🌮, paired perfectly with a margarita and a delicious Paloma. The tacos were super fresh, well-priced, and served with a nice mix of fresh greens. But the star of the show was Erica. She was first on shift and, even with the place getting busy, handled everything smoothly. Every customer was treated like family — greeted with a genuine smile and real warmth. Despite being slammed, it never affected her attention to detail or customer care. That kind of service is rare. Hats off to Erica. She absolutely made the experience and has definitely encouraged me to return for more tacos on the lake — and the Erica show. Congratulations to Amalfi for delivering consistently amazing service. Update: Stopped by Amalfi again, and as expected, had another fantastic experience dining by the lake. The menu offered a wide variety of choices—something for everyone. I started with a refreshing Limoncello Drop, a perfect starter drink for a warm California afternoon. Another great option was the Amalfi Spritz—light, crisp, and refreshing. For starters, I went with the pulled pork sliders—an excellent choice. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, complementing the sweet and tangy barbecue sauce and the tender, flavorful shredded pork perfectly. We also tried the tartar ceviche—wow! A fantastic mix of fish with layers of flavor in every bite. Next up were the chicken wings—cooked just right, juicy (not dry), and I loved the sauce. A great pairing with our drinks. For the main course, we had the California burger, perfectly prepared with fresh avocado, crisp vegetables, and a medium-cooked patty that tied it all together beautifully. Lastly, we shared the Poki Ahi Tacos. If you’re a fan of poki, these are a must-try—well-prepared, fresh, and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for lakeside dining or just a relaxing spot for cocktails with friends, Amalfi is definitely the place. The service was spot-on, and Erica and the staff were amazing—friendly, attentive, and helpful from start to finish.

Really cool spot just to have a drink with beautiful views of San Marcos Lake and the mountains - good energy, great bartenders. Lots of beer on tap and hard cider offered in the bottle. HH is pretty good at as well Mon to Fri. CC accepted

This was a great place to go for happy hour. We were a group of 8 and had appetizers & drinks before dinner at the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The view was awesome.

Went on a Saturday evening for the first time with a friend and I LOVED IT!! The atmosphere was great, pet friendly and not to mention the food YUMM!! I had the BIG bacon cheeseburger and she had the Salmon burger and they both were delish! My burger was big and juicy and the kale salad that they served with is was amazing no as well. If you are looking for a place to chill by the water enjoy good food and good music this is the place to be. I told my girlfriend we were definitely going to go back again!

Great vibe on a nice day. Lively crowd. Something for everyone. Service very average and bathrooms were overflowing with trash and short on toilet paper, probably need to be checked more often. Valet parking for front, or across street for free lot.

Very authentic food and environment. Loved the chef specials and the desert was exceptional!!! Recommendations: Bottomless coffee please! Very awesome viewsnof Lake San Marcos!!! Makes for great pictures and now we are heading downstairs to the bar!!!! Bottoms Up!!!! Thank you Chef Marcielo for all the great menu items!!!!!!!!

Confidence in the place arrives almost at once, before you have fully taken it in. The welcome feels easy and genuinely well judged, the menu is focused rather than overextended, and the room carries a quiet tempo that puts the outside world at a comfortable remove. No single detail asks for attention, yet together they create the rare kind of atmosphere that makes staying feel effortless and leaving unexpectedly difficult.

A great place for good Italian food by the lake. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. A great view of the lake. The food was fantastic. I had the clams and mussels entrée. I definitely recommend that as well as the tiramisu for dessert. Service was absolutely fantastic. We were served well. Staff was n friendly and we were constantly asked if everything was OK. There’s also plenty of parking right in front of the premises. I would definitely come back.

I made a reservation a their Private Dining Room (in the Marina bar) for a small, private event and the entire service, from the coordinator, manager, and server was excellent! The guests I invited were delighted with the menus and even took extra orders for home. If you are looking for a nice dining room, book it in the Private Room and I promise you won't regret it. I mentioned this experience to Lola, the coordinator that helped me plan it through. I think if you are hosting for more than 10 people, I say reach out to their coordinators Lola and Nikia. They will guide you with what you need especially for larger events. Email them at events@amalficucinaitaliana.com and they'll respond to you quickly! Once again, thank you team for everything. It was indeed a memorable experience!

Met with friends for happy hour to celebrate birthdays. We ordered appetizers, including the calamari (a favorite), chicken wings with the sauces on the side, Marguerite pizza, pepperoni pizza, and carnitas tacos, accompanied by delicious cocktail drinks. The servers and staff were awesome! Our drinks and food arrived quickly, and we had a blast chatting and enjoying the live music by a talented artist. The view of the lake was stunning as always. Later in the evening, our amazing server surprised the birthday celebrants with desserts topped with lighted candles. They made wishes, blew out the candles, and we all shared the sweet treats. It was a perfect way to end a wonderful evening!

Amalfi Marina Bar offers a relaxed dining experience with a friendly vibe, but while the service and some of the food were enjoyable, there were a few dishes that didn't quite hit the mark. SERVICE - The staff was wonderful--everyone we interacted with was kind and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The service was attentive, which definitely enhanced the experience. FOOD Complimentary Bread - A nice touch! The bread was served with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, making for a simple but pleasant starter. Calamari - Unfortunately, the calamari didn't live up to expectations. It was lacking crispiness, and the batter was soggy rather than light and crunchy. It could have used a bit more attention in the frying process. Pesto Alla Genovese (Rigatoni) - The rigatoni was cooked to perfection--perfectly al dente. However, the pesto had a strong basil and pine nut flavor that was a bit too intense for my taste. My husband, however, enjoyed it and thought it was a flavorful dish overall. Fusilli (Kids') - This was a pleasant surprise! The butter and cheese version was simple but surprisingly flavorful, and our kids really enjoyed it. A solid option for little ones. Pizza of the Week (Pork and Roasted Garlic Potatoes) - The flavor of the pizza was good, but it was unfortunately very soggy and floppy, especially with the toppings like pork and roasted garlic potatoes. It made it difficult to enjoy since the crust couldn't hold up to the ingredients. Amalfi Marina Bar has potential with its friendly service and some solid dishes, like the fusilli and the bread. However, a few items (like the calamari and pizza) could use improvement in terms of preparation and texture.

I've been here multiple times over the years and the food is always consistently great as well as the service! Every time I go the waiters/waitresses are always very informed and attentive, my sister and I met the one of the owners tonight and he was nice enough to give us an on the house dessert! Love this place 10/10 would recommend. (The pizza dough is chefs kiss)!!

Hidden gem in San Marcos it's definitely one of my favorite places to look at a great view while enjoying a great meal. The downstairs bar usually isn't too busy, you can usually find a seat. Sitting by the water is such a cool treat and occasionally you'll see black swans in the lake. The service has always been great and friendly. The drinks are always perfect, and they have bottomless mimosas on Sunday during brunch! Food has always been great, everything I've had I've always enjoyed. They have a huge menu that'll satisfy anyone. The sandwiches are great, the salads are fresh and the portions are large. The pizza is a popular choice here but just a note they do NOT have ranch here. Overall a great beautiful spot to check out, it's definitely worth visiting for the view alone.

My friend Toby P has reviewed this place and said she liked it more than upstairs at Amalfi. So on a hot day it seemed a fun place to try to try to keep cool for drinks. It was stuffier even on the patio than the street at first! But we got a good breeze from the water about halfway through our meal. They don't have happy hour specials here, because they are so popular that they don't need them. But as Toby said, the food is more reasonably priced downstairs. I got a Hugo spritz which was very refreshing. I also got the beyond burger, which was very tasty and a big plate. It had french fries and crispy potato skins, along with an arugula salad. Surprisingly the arugula salad was underseasoned and bland. but everything else was very tasty. I wish there was more of a breeze today, but it was still very nice and the service was great. It's nice to have these two options in the midst of North County.

This hidden gem of a bar and restaurant. Located right on a beautiful lake, with lots of atmosphere... I went there to hear live music (3D blues band) a local band in San Diego.. great food, atmosphere and a wonderful place for a celebration ( they have a private room. Trust me you will be so happy you're celebrating any occasion there.

First time at this place in San Marcos. Parking lot was nearly empty when we arrived, but people must have some inside knowledge as to where to park without the valet fee, which apparently is a thing Friday-Saturday-Sunday because the place was packed inside the bar. We lucked out and got a seat by the rail/water view. Next time we want to try a bar seat, but it was full. Very, very loud place. But we adjusted to the noise level. We chose a Margherita Pizza and the Fish and Chips. The latter we would not order again. Breading was too thick, fries were like not good McDonalds fries with zero flavor (Husband thought they should be fried longer, but then I think they would be too crispy being so thin), "tartar sauce" had no flavor (we couldn't even tell what it was supposed to taste like, unlike any tartar sauce we've had) and the cod and shrimp were way too greasy. The little salad was alright, flavor was fair. But the pizza was the STAR of the show, so very good. We would come back for a draft beer and the pizza again, for sure! Service was great. Food we saw others eat looked not super appealing, the meatball sandwich looked like it was a not real, like prop food. And it looked too "bready" for our preference. And the Bruchetta? No, no, no...it looked gross. BUT, again, just appearance to us. Did not try these two menu items. Take Away for Us... Amalfi Draft Beer = 5 Stars, Margherita Pizza - 5 Stars, View = 5 Stars, Forced Valet (and we parked ourselves) = 3 Stars, Fish and Chips Plate = 3 Stars Will we be back? Yes

Apparently the only way to get good service is if you drink alcohol. I was there for 2 and a half hours and never even offered a refill on my non alcoholic drink (I had to ask multiple times before I finally received 1 refill), while the party I was with was getting their mimosas refilled every 5 minutes. Only upside was the food was yummy minus the breakfast bagel sandwich being served on a hamburger bun.

This is a total hidden gem in North county. The Amalfi Marina bar is just below the Amalfi Italian restaurant on Lake San Marcos and is open air with heaters if you are cold. From watching the water feature out in the lake to the gondolas and black and white swans it is really relaxing. Everything I have tried here is really good. The Eggplant Parmigiana, meatballs, wood fired pizzas and the roasted artichoke, goat cheese and olive salad are my favorites. The wine and beer list is very substantial and they have a full bar. Great for Happy hour with live music and large screen Televisions for watching sports. The service has always been top shelf.

I love this place! I'm from Carlsbad/San Marcos but retired to Arizona. My daughter still lives in Carlsbad and I go there once a month to visit. I love the setting of this particular restaurant, right on Lake San Marcos. The food & drinks are excellent! Their fish & chips and their shredded pork sliders are some of my favorites. This last time my friends and I were served by Tanner, he was excellent, funny & friendly. I'll keep coming & introducing others to this awesome restaurant!

We started off with a calamari appetizer! It's a great start to enjoy with your beverage of choice! Husband had the shrimp tacos. They come with 3 and he did enjoy them. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan. When it arrived I was instantly surprised. Covered with sauce. I mean so much sauce that you wondered why it was smothered. Don't get me wrong, they have great tasting sauce, but never did get the taste of the eggplant, ect. Big disappointment. I normally love eggplant Parmesan, but will not order it again. Ambiance here is great sitting next to the water and you will always have good service. We will for sure be back soon especially for the calamari and their pizzas.

Amalfi Bar is a trifecta of an experience. It has the views, the atmosphere, and service. This hidden gem on the lake is the closest you will get to feeling like you are on an Italian coast (in San Marcos). We enjoy going the nights they have music. The drinks are great, and the staff feel like family to us. Cheers

This review is for the marina bar. Service was fantastic. Our server was top notch. The view of the water is very nice. Saw a couple of black swans. The beer is beer but my friend ordered a glass of wine and was not happy with the amount. It seemed like a small pour. I had wings and fries. Wings were good, fries were terrible. Cold, thin, and limp, not crispy at all. The margarita pizza was awful. It had sauce, 3 basil leaves and 3 pieces of mozzarella and the crust was limp and subpar. And finally, if you want tartar sauce with your fish and chips, you will be disappointed. It's served with a spicy pink mayonnaise sauce that was terrible. I probably would not go out of my way to go there again.

We have been to Amalfi a few times. They have great bar fare downstairs in a bar type atmosphere. The pizza is equally good. On this particular evening my guest and I were looking for an elevated dining experience. We started w Caprese salad and two craft cocktails which were very good. The limoncello between courses was also very good. but lets talk about the main courses. Our server highly recommended the Veal, its description sounded mouthwatering. I went with the Veal at the servers coaxing and my guest selected the risotto scallops. At a $65 entree price the veal should have been astounding. What arrived at the table however was completely different. The veal was a nice sized portion but presentation of the plate was as bland as the flavor. The veal was dry, and every bite taken required a drink of water to swallow. The accompanying salad was mediocre and had little to any flavor. I mentioned to our server when she inquired that the plated veal was dry, she apologized and was adamant to take the plate to the (New Executive) chef. I was surprised at her insistence but went along with it, I was not interested in offending the kitchen. When our server returned with my plate I laughed. They had placed a small saucer of marinara sauce next to the veal. This was the chefs answer for an over priced serving of veal that was so dry a rice cake would be jealous. Attention Amalfi managers and owners: You have a great location, interior, craft cocktails and vibe. What you don't have is delicious food for the price. With amazing restaurants in Escondido, Oceanside & Carlsbad I'll drive an extra 5 mins for a better experience. The executive chef needs a sit down, eat the dishes that are being served. Do not send a plate back from the kitchen w dipping sauce. The veal is a travesty. Also charging $3 for table bread and $5 to park is a desperate play for ringing every cent out of your customers. I will pay for a $230 dollar meal at 333 or Vintanna, but Amalfi doesn't compare and is not even close to the same level. Save your money. We wont be back.

Erika is the best server! Every time we visit! Was super attentive and super welcoming! Will definitely be back loved the mimosas food and atmosphere.

Beautiful view of the lake, good food and awesome service. Ordered the calamari for appetizers, some burgers and fish n chips. No complaints. Every employee is super nice. Definitely recommend sitting outside on a good day

i only ever write reviews when places are horrible but this one is quite the contrary. I love this place, servers are always awesome and food is always good. Me and my friends always go here for birthdays has become a tradition.

Never cared for the food here. Pizza is horrible and everything is pricey. Never paid so much for a bowl of pasta in my life. Service is unremarkable. The ambience is amazing.

Always love having a drink and lunch, dinner or appetizers here. Cant beat the view. Food is just like upstairs and the service is always great.

We came here on Tuesday afternoon for a last minute get together with my local friends. There were 7 of us, without a reservation, and we began at the bar counter. After a few drinks we spoke to the hosts and they happily arranged a large table for us located close to the water! We loved the awesome view of the lake, gondolas, and fountain! I really LOVE the Marina Bar's wine list and food menu! Their selection of wines is very good and their prices are more than fair. They have my favorite La Crema Chardonnay and also a great Proseco that pairs well with the food! Speaking of which, their Calamari ROCKS my world!!!! I mean, it's the REAL deal, tentacles (my favorite part) and all, not pre-frozen jumbo squid strips. Their Bruschetta melts in your mouth and the toasted bread is crisp yet soft. I also love that the arugula they serve it with is top notch farm fresh! The service here is impeccable! Our server was attentive yet un- intrusive and the rest of the staff always made sure that our water glasses were filled. Everyone who worked here was genuinely friendly and professional! My only regret is that...I forgot to try their meatballs. Ahh well, that alone is a good reason to return to Amalfi's Marina Bar , very soon! Oh, and did I mention that they're also dog friendly?! Score!!!!

I have frequented this restaurant for several years with no incident until July 3. My husband and I went out for a celebratory dinner, and at 1:30 in the morning, I woke up with food poisoning that had lasted for six days so far. My husband and I called the restaurant and walked into the restaurant, looking for management. No one has called us back. The hostess mentioned that the management knew this problem and called us back, which never happened. Now six days later the manager won't come to the phone to speak to me about the situation after six days of being ill walking around in horrific pain, think that management would at least pick up the phone and speak to their customer. They have no regard for anybody other than themselves and I will never ever return.

The atmosphere is simply wonderful, the open air and breeze makes for an experience that I imagine in the summer time is amazing. We were dining during the mid morning on a dreary day that was very cold and drizzly. Thankfully our server was able to move the outdoor heaters to our table and that thawed us out. We ordered the breakfast pizza with sausage, the sausage frittata with smoked mozzarella, the smoked salmon bagel and the breakfast bagel with bacon. Little One ate most of her pizza which she described as a pizza crust with no sauce and scrambled egg baked onto the crust with sausage. It was different that anything has had before but mentioned she liked it. She brought her leftovers home for later. Yogi ate his smoked salmon bagel washed down with a bloody mary. There was not so much as a peep as he finished his meal. Now when I watched Cocoa eat her breakfast bagel, I got a little jealous as she looked extremely thrilled with her selection. The bacon looked crisp and the egg was done medium well with the perfect yolk consistency. I had the frittata with sausage and smoked mozzarella. I really liked the spiciness of the sausage, but was not too thrilled with the smokiness of the cheese. I would have preferred cheddar, but that is my preference. Next time I know better. The potato serving was generous as was the side of fruit. I can't wait to enjoy drinks and apps on the patio when the weather clears up.

I've been here 3 times in the last two months for happy hour with my mom friends. I love the views of the water and the houses along the water. At the holidays, the boat owners dress up their boats with lights and Christmas decorations and float around the lake. They wave as they pass by the diners in the restaurant...it's so cute! The food and drinks have always been great during happy hour. Last time, we bought two margarita pizzas for 4 of us and there was plenty! It was also very tasty. The happy hour drinks are $5 which is a deal anywhere you go. It includes some beer and wine options also. This has become our go-to place for happy hour! Good service, good food, great prices, and views you can't beat

The location is great and food is good. We had our team's Christmas get together there as we have done the last three years now. The ambiance is also excellent. The only thing I would mention is that prices are up there so just be mindful of that when you go here.

Don't normally write negative reviews but this should come to someone's attention. This is a great location for something special and should be treated that way in my opinion to represent the area. I was saddened by the food quality and service here today at the Marina Bar deck at Lake San Marcos. I have never noticed it to be negative experience on the marina bar patio. It was a beautiful day and not nearly half the tables were full. Our server didn't know table numbers and had combined numerous bills so was asking us multiple times what we ordered after we had ordered. Our Calamari was total.. well basically rubber bands lightly fried, no breading, with plastic ramekin for $19 . I sent them back I couldn't eat it and I'm never that picky. The sliders and fries for $19 was laughable, especially with Heinz's packets of ketchup on the side. Our pizza came out about 8 min after everyone else's food was dropped, when everyone else food was almost finished. Basically felt like front of the house and back of the house have never eaten in a restaraunt before or cared. Another family was sat and brought waters while this was happening. Someone brought them water. About 5 min later I notice them packing up and walking out since nobody actually ever greeted them.

Excellent food, Service & Ambiance. The service was excellent & and special recognition to our amazing server Dana!! Thank you for your positive attitude, knowledge & all around service. Our dining experience was enhanced by you. We will definitely be back and asking for you.

I have been here many times over the years, including when it was Decoy Dockside. When Amalfi took over, there were some growing pains. But I have to say, I was just there 5/31/24 for the band, The Swinging Johnsons. It was PACKED!! We arrived at 4:30 and there was one single table in the back towards the boat dock left. Not ideal but we sat there and they put our name on a waitlist for a lakeside table. Service was immediate and super friendly/accommodating. By the time we finished our first glass of wine, they helped us move to a prime table, corner lake view. We had 5 others join us over the course of the night and each time someone new arrived, our server was there in an instant taking their order. Point of sale made it super easy to split our checks. I was SUPER impressed. A gem for Lake San Marcos.

Super fun spot right on the lake! I know people who have lived in north county for years and have never known there was a lake right here. The marina bar is a laid back spot with great service when it's not packed - expect to wait a little longer when it's crowded and there is live music playing. Food is decent, large wine and beer selection. Great for catching a padres game at the bar or hosting friends for a nice dinner! Don't get this place confused with Amalfi Cucina Italiana - that's upstairs and much fancier. Different menu and I think they require reservations. There is no outdoor dining up there.

Ege our server was the best of the best! Hands down the best server here and will take good care of you. If you ever come to this location, make sure to ask to have EGE as your server! He's very attentive and we'll make the experience 10/10. Someone give this man a raise!

Atmosphere is awesome. Beautiful views of the lake. Enjoy the menu and great happy hour.

So much fun on a FRIDAY NITE music moonlight waterfront marina and a wildly enthusiastic crowd! Delish drinks amazing bartender what more could you ask for?!

Michael was great! 10/10. He turned around the evening for us! When we got there we weren't completely sure what was going on but Michael made sure we felt comfortable. My only suggestion is find someone to be in charge.

Bar has a great ambiance and has been my local bar for months now. I typically order the margarita flight with my boyfriend and we each get a pizza. The pizzas are SOOOO fresh, it almost feels like it's healthy. I love the margarita pizza and get it every time. They are also dog friendly and the staff is pleasant.

We've been a few times but only downstairs on the dock Bagar the ceviche and some good cocktails. Good service and nice ambiance

Food is good Service great as well Ambiance is a must in this place If you have kids do it too in the holiday season And for friends and adults time is amazing!

We had an extra special birthday event at Amalfi Marina Bar with a large party. The event was an absolute success. The staff was amazing. They were attentive, helpful, and accommodating. The event was a huge success and it would not have been without amazing staff members that helped us coordinate the day and service. I highly recommend this location for events and large parties as well as small ones. The food is amazing, the views are incredible, and they have great selections.

Pretty cool open bar next to San Marcos lake. Stopped by here for a function and previously had no idea this place existed! Had to ask at the hotel front desk where it was located. It is a block south of the hotel and has 2 levels a bar under and restaurant above? I am not sure. All I know is that they make some good drinks! LOL The atmosphere here is amazing! open bar next to a lake and cool people, you instantly forget you are in San Marcos. Customer service was awesome. We just ordered a ton of appetizers and lots of drinks. The drinks were strong and the appetizers were all pretty good. The ceviche was very tasty and also the calamari. Those were my 2 favorites. I have a feeling the rest of the menu is probably pretty good and will need to come back to try more items.

I came here last week with my book club and had such a fun time! We were larger group of eight women and they easily accommodated us by fitting tables together and letting us look out at the water and separate checks. I ordered the meatball appetizer, which was three average sized meatballs, a pool of sauce, and two slices of bread. Actually a perfect meal size and just what I had been craving! Other members of my group ordered tacos, pasta, pizza, and a burger, reflective of the fusion style of food served here. For dessert, we got tiramisu, cannolis, and chocolate mousse. It was really more of a chocolate mousse cake and seemed to have a cherry filling-I wish the menu had been more descriptive about it as it was good but my expectations were different. Looking forward to coming back here with the group or for other occasions!

We had a large party dinner Nikia took great care of us with service. The ambiance is always enjoyable and the food was delicious. Will visit again!

Amalfi, Ciao! You must read the story of Amalfi Marina. I'll try any Margherita Pizza and be the judge of the right crust, red sauce and cheese! If you put extra basil, perfect! The view to the lake it pretty spectacular too. Bring a sweater, it gets chilly. This Margherita Pizza is good to the last bite! https://www.amalficucinaitaliana.com/our-story

Went here for lunch yesterday and was surprised by the variety of items on their menu! We ordered quite a bit of food, which was delicious for the most part! We got the carnitas tacos, which were probably one of the best items we got. We also got the baja ceviche, which tasted fresh and had a good variety of seafood - fish, shrimp and octopus. Chips were a little on the stale side. My daughter got mozzarella sticks, which were pretty good. My son got the meatballs and fries from the kids menu and of course I stole a bite - would totally get them again! I got the chicken cottaletta and the chicken was a little over cooked for my liking. The Caesar salad also tasted more mustardy than I was expecting, so probably wouldn't get that again. Service was awesome and ambience by the lake was great! Would definitely come back to try some other dishes!

I think I am still in shock over our $75 cold, greasy, raw FF lunch today 10/11 at the lower restaurant. I have eaten upstairs several times, and it was 5 stars, so I took a friend today and we decided to try the downstairs portion. We stood and waited for at least 5 min with hardly anyone in the restaurant at 11:20. The hostess was taking a to go order, I guess ....and was slower than molasses. A waiter finally walked over as we were ready to leave and seated us. We finally got our waiter over, maybe took, now 20 minutes in from arrival. We received our food fairly (both ordered fish and chips) quickly, but it was lukewarm, greasy, a bit soggy and the FF were hardly cooked, they looked like blanched potatoes. We asked for some paper napkins so we could drain the grease off our fish. there were at least 4-5 waiters/staff just standing talking with each other and lost when they did move, while 1 was running around. We ate maybe 1/3 of our meal and' it just wasn't good cold, since I had your desserts before we asked the waiter/bartender whatever what several of them were, no one knew. finally, our actual waiter came over and he told us what we need to know. We ordered a berry tart and tiramisu. After 10 min, we asked where our dessert was, he said it was coming, after 20 minutes we asked where our dessert was again, he said it was coming right away. At 30 minutes we called him over and said, "this is ridiculous, it's dessert for goodness' sake" are they making it? My berry tart was so sour I couldn't eat it, waiter just looked at me when I told him!?!? He said it wasn't his fault, they had to bring it from upstairs. Are you kidding me? I could have climbed up and down those stairs 40 times in 30 min. We had also asked for separate checks which of course didn't happen either, so we figured it out for him. Won't be visiting your downstairs "diner" ever again! Oh and tried to find a manager to no avail either! Someone needs training in people/serving, a good manager "on duty" and food runner who knows the importance of serving hot food especially fried!

We tried the weekend brunch and loved everything. The burger was incredible and I can't say enough good things about the pizza. Absolutely delicious! And the view is pretty awesome too.

Pleasant wait staff, great pizza and salad! I also had an old fashion that was made perfectly. Thank you so much for a great experience we will be back.

This place is a hidden local gem!! Even tho is lies parallel with the beautiful and nostalgic Lake House Hotel, this place is without a doubt one of the top places to frequent in NCounty! I take my son every other Friday for THE BEST PIZZA -hands down- EVER!!!! If you like authentic Italian style thin crust, dont miss out on this with your order! HUGE SHOUT OUT: to Emma; who has been our FAVORITE server! She had never made me feel bad for ordering just a pizza and fries with my little guy and literally treats us like royalty when we walk into the place. It feels like family there and she plays a huge role in that community camaraderie! And Reagan; behind the bar who wil always greet you with her beautiful smile and calm sweet demeanor! She knows how to make a good one that will do the trick any Happy Hour!! LOVE the Live Music as much as the absolutely DELICIOUS food, friendly, fun, staff, gorgeous ambience!!!

Good food, decent prices, GREAT bartender - Anthony! Patio bar overlooking the lake, cool breezes on warm days.

Food, Service and ambiance (the view) was awesome! We especially loved the fish and chips!

we had a reservation and receptionist was quick and courteous. a second receptionist led us to the table by the window! Our waiter was Italian and knew the menu well; our appetizer came right way. Offer of desserts were met with "oh no dessert for me " but the water's descriptions had everybody opting for Gelatos!! A great meal for a special occasion and not pricey!
