More seating than we expected on a nice Tuesday afternoon! We were given both indoor and outdoor seating options (we picked outside). Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. Both cocktails were also very good. We would definitely go again!

I just adore this place. AMBIANCE: It has everything you could ask for, without actually going on vacation! It was extremely busy and our food didn't take too long either. The ambiance is set on Saratoga Lake with a marina in the forefront of the seating. We sat under the tent, and it still SO beautiful. The water is 1 min walking distance from our table and we ended our meals with sitting in adirondack chairs on the mini beach. FOOD: We had the blue crab dip with baguette bread, mild chicken wings, grilled shrimp tacos, (didn't like the soft shell it came in, but I loved the filling) and the hot lobster roll- all was really good! SERVICE: our server Chloe was super friendly, accomodating, and very nice to chat with.

Went here for dinner and drinks. Staff are very friendly, the food was good as well. It is beautiful inside. We went on a rainy day, I imagine it is beautiful when the weather is nice and you can sit outside by the lake. Many options for drinks. I got the Nantucket and it was very well made. You could taste the blueberry and the iced tea as well, the flavors mixed nicely.

Loved it! Waitress was fun friendly and helpful. Great views of the marina and Saratoga lake. Really nice beer menu and nice cocktails. Mussels app was really tasty, caprese sushi was fun.... salads were amazing..... got a pizza to bring home as well!

*A must visit in Saratoga* Perfect place to catch up with friends in Spring-Summer. The *views* from every aspect of the venue (indoors, outdoors, bar) are all great! There’s fireplaces and so much seating variety outside. And the outdoor bar sets the tone. The *food* is fresh and colorful. I haven’t had a better lobster roll anywhere. The *drinks* menu is serious! And it’s a great place to catch up with friends, take the kids and just hang out for a long time. There’s no rush to leave the venue because there’s different places to move and sit once you’ve finished your meal. Highly recommend

This place is a just beautiful. The view, the vibe, the drinks, everything is perfect. Chips and guac, fries and drinks were great. The lobster roll was nice but not good enough for the price, have had better rolls before. A reservation is must on weekends but if you don't have one you can simply go to the counter or the patio where there is enough outdoor seating with a pretty view.

Got off early from work and ventured to Saratoga Lake. Had heard about this place from a friend. He raved about it. Did not disappoint. Right on the water. Lively on a Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Sat at the outdoor side of the bar. Great views, friendly staff and great food! I had the Nashville chicken sandwich. Nice and crispy and their white bbq sauce was money! Fries were crispy. Came out really quickly even though they were busy. Very friendly vibe all around. Rob at the bar was outstanding. The blonde ale I had from the Druthers line up was refreshing and good for a sunny day. Decent cocktail menu. Smoked Paloma was delish. My last beer I had down on the water where there are several Adirondack chairs. Look at the boats on the dock and unwind. Can’t wait to come back for dinner. Diverse and cool crowd. Come in shorts or dressed to the nines, you’ll fit right in either way.

9/2022 Update: Our server Katie was great. She knew all the details of the multiple vegan options and was very attentive. The entertainment "Radio Junkies" cover band was great addition to the night. Previous: Outside seating is great. Inside was a bit loud like cafeteria loud. Our server Amber C. was friendly and efficient. Had vegan options and Amber had all the details. Adirondack chairs on beach are a nice touch. Eat at bar is first come first serve basis. Drinks are pricey but the view is great. Extra parking across the street. The main lot fills up fast.
