About the restaurant

Our design concept is 'Water". Water brings relaxation to our minds, restoration to our bodies, and enjoyment in our lives. The wave like curve of our roofline draws you into our welcoming lobby with a beautiful blown-glass chandelier and spectacular handcrafted canoe. See our 4,000 gallon salt-water aquarium, featuring live mangrove trees and a variety of aquatic life. Enter our main dining area through a two-story houseboat, salvaged from our original location. Restore yourself under the canopy of our tree forest beginning with a raw-edge slab wood bar through to our main dining and large party room, boasting amazing views of Lake Allatoona and spectacular sunsets.

My husband loves the prime rib. We went on Mother's Day for the buffet, so he ate his fill of prime rib. The sushi tower was fresh and the smoked salmon was delicious. I also had a premium bloody mary that came with 3 large shrimp and candied bacon. Every time we go for dinner, I order the mussels, they are so good in the wine broth!

We had reservations but were a few minutes late. We ended up having to wait an additional 30 minutes, but that was to be expected on Mother's Day. The waitstaff was awesome. The DJ and music was nice but a little too loud. The food was awesome!

Love this spot but they seem short staffed. The poor waitress was doing sixteen different things and the hostess was leaning on her podium scrolling her phone. Seems like the hostess could at least help out with checks and pick up orders and water refills etc. Other than the service which was fast for food orders and food service but slow for checkout it is always a favorite spot for a yummy lunch.
