“ Beautiful location on water. Nice patio and tiki bar. Mattison (name on receipt) our server was so cheerful and prompt. We all had burgers homemade tots and fries...sooo good! Bloody Marys were perfect and decent beer selection for a small place. Interior restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Definitely coming back before the snow starts flying! ”
“ We wanted to stop by a place on the water and found this cute little tiki bar. We sat outside and listened to Nick2, which was a band of a father and a son. Super entertaining and cute. The salad and the soup we had for lunch were wonderful. We will definitely be back! ”
“ I stopped in for dinner while visiting Eastlake Ohio. I had the Walleye Sammy. A beer battered walleye, roasted garlic tartar & lettuce, hoagie with fries. Best walleye sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The wait staff and bartenders were amazing. I like IPA beer, and she let me go behind the bar and pick out of their cooler. Their outside porch overlooks the Chagrin River and is very nice. I definitely recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner. ”
“ Now. The food took awhile , but if you’re with the right people, who cares?!. it’s going to take awhile. they’re slammed. if you want faster food/service then apply to work for them. from what i seen they only had 1 server, and the entire place was slammed. The food was delicious, I only had mozzarella sticks( i know they call it something else but i cannot remember.) They were delicious! could have used a bit more cheese but ugh, yum. i would come back solely for their mozzarella sticks. We sat at the bar, Jason was bartending tonight and oh man was he funny! My grandma flirted with him right off the bat and he just rolled with it. she said it “made her year.” so there’s that. The atmosphere was great. Chill people & comfortable chairs. ”
“ Highly recommend this place! We stopped on today for lunch while passing thru the area. The bar tender was super nice. Food was great. Place was clean. Overall great exercise. Looking forward to coming back this summer when the weather gets nicer to enjoy their awesome patio area. ”
“ Great river side restaurant bar. Great sandwiches. Right on Chagrin River. Patio is nice and live bands on weekends. ”
“ I was the first to try the Pistachio Chocolate Martini today and boy oh boy it did not disappoint....I highly recommend!! Thank you Mary for creating such fun drinks for your customers to enjoy for the season now I have another reason to stop in ”
“ Great location right on the river. The food is fabulous and the service is always with a smile. Prices are reasonable and they have a nice selection of beer and wine. There is plenty of parking and very often they have live music on the weekends. ”
