This is a hidden gem! We were staying on the lake and this was recommended to us. We had a wonderful take-out steak dinner the night we arrived. When I picked up our food I explained that I had to do take out because we have 2 dogs with us and don’t want to leave them. We were told we could bring them as there was four top out on a small deck. The food was great and cooked by someone who knows how to cook. Even the mashed potatoes and gravy were light and fluffy with some larger chunks for texture. We went back for breakfast and it was so peaceful and nice to sit outside and enjoy a great breakfast with the dogs. I had the Brittany special and the pork cutlets were tender and moist. Dad had the corned beef hash and it was clearly homemade. Highly recommend you start your day here and/or finish it!

What a nice little surprise on our travels! We stopped for breakfast, it was hard to choose what to order, most of my favorite breakfast dishes are on the menu! I ordered the steak and eggs, which I received to perfectly as ordered! My daughter got the skillet which she enjoyed as well. My husband ordered Doms breakfast and cinnamon roll french toast..which is huge! The waitress was super friendly, courteous, and extremely hospitable. The restaurant provided a cozy and comfortable atmosphere with a beautiful view of Lake Paradise. Overall an awesome experience that we hope to enjoy again. Thank you so much!!

When you are staying in an area for a few days you want to find "the place". We found that here. From the moment we stepped in the door, the atmosphere, the VERY warm and friendly greeting, the lake view, and then the food, it all just all came together. We'll be back again and again!

We had a fantastic experience and were so glad it came up on a search. Our server was attentive and so kind. She had made the delicious chicken soup. We enjoyed the grilled chicken salad and the cedar plank white fish. The whipped potatoes were not only decorative but so good with great seasoning. Our view was a plus! We left with a huge cinnamon roll for later.

It was busy and a bit of a wait, but good food and reasonable cost. Lakefront views for many tables.

Our first time coming here, but definitely won’t be our last! Their dessert offerings alone are worth the stop, but the lunch club sandwich and whitefish sandwich were also delicious! Beautiful spot on the lake. Our server, Charles was awesome! Stop in you won’t be disappointed! 7-20-24 Went back tonight for fish (Parmesan encrusted and broiled)-both delicious and we have found our new (to us) favorite local restaurant officially 8-4-24 We had Charles as our server yet again and he is just the best! Chef Ben kills it every time-tonight we had Parmesan encrusted whitefish and smothered chicken, both delicious and that chicken soup is just perfection! See you soon! 8-24-24 We literally come here every weekend, everything is amazing and Charles is the best!!!

For dinner, we spent under $60. Excellent service, generous food portion, serene atmosphere, and seated right on the lake. We greatly appreciate the extra effort for fresh brewed coffee service. Can't ask for more.!
