Went to the Waterpark next door a couple weeks ago and then came over here for the prime rib. Unfortunately they were sold out when we got there but we got other steaks and we were happy. It was just my 4 kids and myself and our server was so nice and good with the kids. I wish I remembered his name. Anyway the food was 5 stars and so was the service.

Our group of four went here on a Friday night. The food was great. Appetizers of onion rings and Spanish artichoke dip with flat bread.I loved the BBQ chicken flatbread pizza.The service was good - I would have said great but I think either the waitress or the bar forgot about our table full of drink order until we reminded the waitress.We visited in the evening and enjoyed it. I imagine the views are amazing during the day - I’ll be back to confirm!Parking: When we went, evening, there was plenty of parking. However guests will need to walk at least 35 yards.

Let me start by saying that the place looks amazing, good looking place .Seem there's three restaurants owned by the same person.We came in first thing we saw is the dishes were all dirty with crumbs, the silver were was dirty . We asked for new silver ware and TK who was nice came with new silver ware and plates but the manner he gave it to us was very unprofessional almost tossing things to us.The food lets talk about how the pork wellington their specialty plate was watery and 100% frozen. I checked the crunchyness it had none, I checked the bottom when I flipped it, it fell apart .Pictures I attached to this post . Look at everything else two of the plates look like vomit .Will never come back and here for the prices they should work on their quality I. Their food and service.

I enjoyed eating here, the food was delicious, and our server was well mannered and not overly friendly. The prices are a little on the high side, especially the bbq pulled park with Mac and cheese when you hardly got anything.The restaurant is near a hotel/resort and the lake. They have indoor and outdoor dining, and this place can get busy. We did not have a reservation and didn’t have to wait to be seated since we came around 5pm on a Saturday. The wait for our food wasn’t long either. I would recommend this restaurant if you’re in the lakes area.

We ended up at the Waterfront after Bracco’s told us there was an extended wait. Mistake. We should’ve waited for Bracco’s.We were told upon arrival that the Waterfront was short staffed. We understand this is an issue across the service industry, and we did wait a great deal of time for our food to come. Granted, we had a very large table. But we couldn’t even get our waters refilled. The waitress was sweet and nice with every encounter with us. She got our dressings, sauces and extras we asked for once our food finally came.The two star review is because the food was not at all what you’d expect from this nice of a place, and for the insane price you’re paying for it. The caesar salad was more than sad, it was downright disappointing. The portion of the entire salad was the same size as a $5 side salad. The chicken was $8 extra and didn’t even come on the salad.The chicken alfredo pasta bake had zero flavor. The broccoli wasn’t cooked and the dish was barely hot. Pizza was lackluster. Spinach dip and onion rings were good.Overall, just a disappointing experience. We will not be returning here or recommending it to people.

Went to the Waterfront Grill for dinner. 5/5 stars for the lovely view towards lake! Restaurant seems short on servers. Took awhile to get our food served, we were sitting around for more than 40 minutes before appetizer was served. The restaurant do have gluten-free menu options. Food is good, but not great. We had the parmesan crusted walleye and the Napoli flatbread with some desserts. Still had a lovely time.

Great outdoor seating. Spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer is amazing! I was glad to see lobster and shrimp pasta on the menu. It is an expensive place but if you are looking to splurge the last day of vacation, it is good. It is a busy place so expect a bit of a wait on food. There is a variety of drinks on the menu as well.

I enjoy local flavors. I decided on the walleye with my choices of broccolini and their specialty bam bam Brussels Sprouts. I appreciate a menu offering tasty vegetables to keep big dinners a bit on the lighter side. Walleye was prepared well. Waiter was moving fast, tonight, but getting the job done.We appreciate the restaurant being available in the off season, but love boating to sit on their deck all summer.

Beautiful restaurant! Great patio overlooking the lake. Good menu options with a small selection for kids. Tasty cocktails menu with seasonal selections available. Big rooms for large groups. A fun place for a good meal. Friendly service as well.

Sunday early afternoon on a windy, cool day. 72 degrees, no boats on the water. Very quiet and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Party of 10. Amazing food. Reasonable prices.

We drove 50 miles for a Birthday dinner. We had thee best experience! The atmosphere /scenery on their patio was just what we were looking for. The drinks were fabulous! I loved the spicy peach margarita. We had a Baja Bum Flatbread pizza for an appetizer and it was so good! Onto the dinner! We both had the Crusted Walleye with Asparagus and Loaded Mashed Potatos. Our meal was amazing! Our server! His name was John! Best server I have had in a very long time Was! Was so attentive, friendly and just great! He brought us this amazing cake with ice cream for the Birthday boy! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience!

Beautiful scenery right on the lake. Good was good. The lobster, crab sandwich was good, but lacked a little flavor. Kinda bland...the Korean pork appetizer was very tasty however, the pork was a little over cooked.

Great place to eat, food is so, so good! I did try something new tonight, I tried the risotto. I have never tried risotto, and it was just ok. It was something I wouldn't try again, but it was still good enough to bring my leftovers home. Our waiter was Isaiah, he's been our waiter before, and he was totally awesome! He treated my family with the utmost respect, and was very nice and courteous. We specifically asked to be seated in his section because we know he'll treat us well! Thank you Isaiah, we'll see you again soon! 😊👍

Beautiful location on the lake with a breathtaking view! Professional, friendly staff was attentive. The parmesan crusted walleye and brussel sprouts were exceptionally delicious. I recommend the bird dog mule, which was fresh and light.

Probably the best food and service for the $$ in the industry. I have been to a lot of places.. this is an amazing spot.

Food was outstanding. We ordered the crab dip, Caesar salad, baseball sirloin with crabcake and loaded mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked to perfection. We look forward to visiting again!

Food is prepared fantastic but don't really like the sides served family style outside of entree order. Steak options are plenty but I guess if you can get price for it...View was great and atmosphere to die for.Impressive place

We were in from out of town so I'm not that familiar with the area. The dining space and location seem pretty great. We were greeted by the host and seated promptly. The outdoor patio has great lake views. This is probably where the good ends.Our waitress seemed pretty inexperienced. She didn't have answers to questions on the menu. They were out of several beers printed on the menu so she had to keep running back and forth to check or ask the kitchen questions. Our drinks seemed to come out at different times too. My beer came out quickly although while others in our group had to wait much longer. The name on my beer can also didn't what was on the menu. I didn't feel like bothering the waitress about it since she had her hands full with our large group.The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the walleye and it was nothing to write home about. Although the cook on it was fine it had a strong fishy taste to it. I know most restaurants don't source locally but if waterfront is in your name and you can catch said fish locally there is really no excuse for it not to be fresh. Also, one of the people in our group ordered an "medley" entree that came with a side salad. When he gave his order to the waitress she informed him that a side salad would be extra. He had to show her the menu to show that it was included. Not sure how the service staff don't know their own menus...I know others in my group had similar feedback about the quality of the food. I know inflation has wreaked havoc on the food industry but the prices here are still above average and customers should expect quality to match.

Wanted to have a nice dinner on our girls trip, and this place had excellent reviews so we decided to give it a try. I’m writing this review to make sure no one else makes the same mistake. There was a wait for a table, which was fine and to be expected, but when we came back inside there were several groups of people who came in after us that were seated before us. Once we got to our table, we waited at least 20 minutes and we never received water or met our server so we decided to get up and leave. I can’t review the food, but the service alone was enough to leave a bad taste in our mouths.

First and last time at this place. Maybe 7-10 tables were seated in the whole restaurant (inside and outside) on a Thursday evening. Host was pleasant and seated us outside. We waited with menus for 15 minutes. Not a single server greeted us or even took our drink order. Several servers walked past us and never checked in to see if anyone was assisting us. Extremely disappointed. We left our menus on the table and went elsewhere.

Food was fantastic. A collosal menu. Ate several meals with a very large family over a 4 day stay. The employees were working super long days, yet doing a really nice job. I watched (from my balcony room) one employee arriving at 7AM. She was waiting on me at dinner at 8 PM, and still there when I left the restaurant at 10PM. Nice people, working hard. Friendly. Good sense of humor. Our waiters were doing everything to make it a nice experience for us. Tip them well. They deserve it! Gorgeous patio area on the waterfront. Go. Be patient. Spend some time. Chill. Every place is short workers these days. Enjoy life. Relax...be nice and you'll thouroghly enjoy it here. If you want fast food, go to a fast food joint. Wouldn't hesitate to come here again next time I'm in Boji. Looking forward to that time again.

Great food and excellent service!! Plenty of gluten free options! Both times we've come here they've been very busy but we hardly had to wait to get a table. Excellent view of the sunset over the lake from the patio. It's a little pricey but in this case you get what you pay for, it was well worth it! Also fun to people watch when there's a wedding in the nearby banquet area 🥂Dietary restrictions: Nearly half of the menu can be made gluten free!

Had the sausage and olive flatbread. Perfect. Good food, nice atmosphere. Pizza and burgers are above average.
