We really enjoyed our lunch. We came in as a group for our holiday lunch and everything was fantastic! The food and drinks were great, the service was superb (thanks, Sean!), and it was so nice to have a lovely view for two hours and to not be rushed out. Thank you, Skates! We'll be back!

We had a choice to sit outside or inside - I think either would have been lovely but we chose outside and sat around the fire table - between the fire table, heat lamp and cozy blankets, the temperature was perfect even on a somewhat chilly night and you could not beat the wonderful atmosphere. It was our first time here but will not be the last.
