    We had a reservation even the restaurant didn't appear to be busy - granted we were eating at 5pm. We were seated near the patio and would have liked to sit by the lake. The hostess was very friendly but a little unfocused and we asked her for 2 heaters (we were a party of 6) since we noticed they were not being used by other parties. She brought one heater and then walked away. She also offered blankets and I asked for 3 initially and forgot to bring them. When I asked again, she brought just the one blanket. I had to ask our server for the 2nd heater and the blanket again. Our server was amazing though, she checked in with us frequently and attended to our needs. As far as the menu, the skirt steak was delicious, but the barramundi had no flavor and needed either more seasoning or a more savory sauce. I was told the menu was new since it wasn't our first time. I would still return, but I may insist on seating further inside the restaurant. I felt that if I took the time to make a reservation, I should have been entitled to a better table or a table with a view of the lake.

    Most restaurants offer grey goose, plus coffee after drinking the evening away. Not this one. Service well let's just say we are used to amazing talent and customer service at carmelitas Plus isn't blue cheese pretty automatic these days with olives in your martini. Anyway.....fun with friends. We made it work!

    My friends really enjoyed their burgers - they were so large. Looked delicious. I had the barramundi - tender and delicious. We enjoyed bacon wrapped dates for appetizer and everyone said they were very flavorful. They welcomed our dog and we had a great view of the small lake. Fantastic location, , service and food, looking forward to going again.
