Shout out to Cameron. He was very friendly, and informative and suggested other things to do in Hartwell. He made sure the food was just how wanted it. I enjoyed the fried shrimp and Mahi salad.

We had a nice lunch today. The restraunt was clean and the staff was professional and friendly. The food was good. I had the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos, which were excellent on flavor and texture.

Staff is friendly and helpful, Hush puppies are yummy. Food was really good. Club sandwich is great. Salads are big. Remodeling looks great, very spacious inside. My only complaint would be some items and the fries are very salty.

Needed a place for lunch while waiting on my bike to get serviced at a local shop. Found this on google maps and decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. We received great service from our server Sidny. Very kind, and attentive. The food was excellent. I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos and my husband had the Mahi-Mahi Sandwich. The margaritas were good too, both frozen and on the rocks. If you’re in Hartwell and looking for a restaurant that will not disappoint, I highly recommend this one. Nice views of the lake, and great atmosphere.
