Reviews
"great service! great food! chef is outstanding and brought us both amazing short ribs and stuffed cod which were excellent we also just loved the french onion soup!"
"Originally I left a 3 star review overall. I did give the food a 4-5 star review. The fried bologna is my favorite. I get it every time and if I go back I will continue. Well I should say if I am aloud to go back. I use to work at Picks. My 3 sisters are still employed here. I have a decent amount of friends employed here as well. Like I said over all a 3 star review and 4-5 for the food. I was picking up my buddy that currently is employed here and the manager was told to tell me that I was not aloud on the property and that I was banned. The reason for me being banned was because of the review I left. I said nothing bad about the place and gave the food a 4-5 star review. Overall it added up to a 3 star review. Management banned me and I am not aloud on the property because of my original review I am banned. I personally think that this is extremely childish and uncalled for. I said nothing bad about this place and even rated the food as high as I could rate it. So I just wanted to update my review and let it be known how they decided go about my review."
"The setting is great. We sat at a table right by the lake. The food was good. We ordered the mahi mahi appetizer, which was good but not great. We ordered a side salad to share, which was large and quite good. The balsamic vinaigrette really made it a great tasting salad. For dinner, I got the blackened shrimp tacos, which were excellent. The sauce that came with it was especially good. My friend ordered the quinoa with black beans, corn, and Cauliflower. (Sadly, there was no cauliflower.) It was pretty good, but for the price we expected better. Disappointingly, they were out of beers on tap, too, so I got a bottle of Dortmunder Gold and my friend got a Corona. What wasn't good at all was the service. Both tables next to us came after us but got their food before us. When the server finally brought our food, she brought it altogether. We were expecting to get the appetizer and salad before the main meals, but that didn't happen. Not sure why. Worse, we had no silverware. When the server came back 5 minutes later and asked how the food was, we said we didn't know because we had no silverware to eat it with. She sort of apologized and went to get some. It was at least another 5 minutes before she came back. By that point our food was getting cold. We still ate it, and it was still tasty, but it would have been better if warmer. Back in the day when I was a waiter, I would have told my manager what a clusterf*ck performance I had given the customers and asked him/her to check in with the table and if necessary make things right. But that didn't happen. I rarely complain at restaurants, but the fact we didn't get our food for nearly 35 minutes, and then didn't get silverware for another 10 is absolutely unacceptable. I would have complained if there had been someone to complain to, but I saw no manager our entire time there (close to 2 hours). With so many other good restaurants in the area, it may be a while before I go back to this place, if ever. Sad, because the restaurant setting is positively lovely (though there are three flights of steps to get down to the lower level, challenging for people with disabilities). Overall, it was a disappointing experience."
