Zero stars place. I order the most expensive plate on the menu 20 oz delmonico steak $30 I told the server Medium and after 45 min wait I got a steak it look like a choarcoal. I showed the server the rubber like steak they served me but wasnt able to wait another 45 min for another. I was hoping to be offered a little discount for the ruin of my meal but instead I got to my table the grumpy owner of the place who didnt show even a dime of apologies for a job going wrong, then we sailed to Racine,WI where we had an amazing meal with karaoke, good music and amazing drinks. SKIP THIS PLACE is not worth even 1 star.

In theory, this place should be pretty awesome. Its right on the lake by a pier with yachts nearby. But a few things made it less than desirable. We went for dinner and the food was subpar, one order was incorrect, some of the food was cold, and I think the biggest disappointment was our server, who really seemed disinterested in doing her job. The quality of the place is pretty shoddy, and people were smoking nearby. Not a good experience.

Ive been a fan of this place for years. Right on the water with a great patio! Frank and Allison really know how to run a fun place and its great for family outings. Take the time to drive to the end of 7th St. in Winthrop Harbor, IL and check it out. Great place!

Taking away 3 stars for food - its just ok , cheese cake was awful, nothing like a cheese cake, fries was advertised to be homecut and home made , but they were just ok , Two star for friendly staff and good atmosphere......

The only place in Lake Co with waterfront dining on Lake Michigan and its awesome. Food is very fresh and the fries are some of the best around. Huge menu, huge patio, spectacular views.

Unfriendly staff that just stands around. Good luck getting good service unless youre a regular. The jalapeño burger looked and tasted like a microwave burger.

We have been stopping here on our boat for about five years. Food is good. Nice people. Dogs are welcome on the patio. My kids like to come here as well.

This place is great. Outdoor seating overlooks the marina, indoor seating is festive. Food can take a while to come out, but its worth the wait.

Its a nice relaxed atmosphere. Food is decent but can be a little too salty if you are getting fried food. Service is slower paced but friendly
