Really enjoyed our dinner here. Started with Meatballs appetizer, and they were really tasty. It was Prime Rib night, so we both ordered the prime rib: medium rare for me and medium for her. Both were perfectly done and tasted great, especially with the creamy horseradish. The atmosphere there is really cool, with kayaks, bikes and fishing gear hanging from the ceiling, and a very talented couple playing guitar and fiddle and singing nice songs. Our server Eva was a lovely young lady, and took great care of us. Desserts (cherry pie and carrot cake) were great as well. Overall a great dinner and dining experience, can't wait to go back for brunch and sit outside with our dog over the little pond.

Tucked beside the serene lakeside, this restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers on every front. The food is consistently delicious, with a well-crafted menu that balances comfort and creativity. The cocktail selection is impressive, offering both classic favorites and inventive twists—perfect for sipping while enjoying the view. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional manager, whose warm, attentive presence ensures every guest feels welcomed and well cared for. Whether you’re in for a bright and bountiful brunch, a relaxed dinner or just drinks by the water, this spot is a standout. I would recommend the creme brulee donut and the LIMA coffee roasters house coffee. Cheers!

Restaurant is probably the best food ever on earth. Vibes are always elite. Water is always full, I was never thirsty once. It’s sick they are patriotic because of that dope ass flag. I love the decorations on the ceiling they make me wanna spend a day outdoors. The lake is so pretty and relaxing to look at. Great views of the mountains. Comfy seats that’ll guarantee your butt never hurts once. The dessert is elite super good. The waitresses are super attentive and they have beautiful singing skills for your bday. I hear they might have lobster in the lake this summer so look out for real. You won’t regret coming here ever. Goated restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner

Our waitress was terrific. We sat on the patio, great view and comfortable space. I ordered the turkey club, the food was good.. but for me it's always about the service and atmosphere. Ted's has both.. and good food. We'll be back!

The HAM-MAC is FABULOUS!!! Really cute place, it’s a good vibe and good atmosphere. The manager pops around to every single table to make sure everyone’s okay, Mike Jones. Hell of a guy!

Great service, good food, and a really nice atmosphere. The manager was helping his staff get tables ready and checked on us throughout the meal. Plenty of parking. We made a reservation, thankfully, as the restaurant was full on a Thursday night!

This place is great!!! I need to give Riley a huge shout out for her amazing customer service and ensuring that we were satisfied all times while there. Food was good, and so were the drinks we ordered! Management, please relay this shout out to her! She’s a hard worker.

Great food, great drinks, & great service. Update.. Went to brunch for the first time today and amazing. Still, the great service we always received, but the food was just as awesome for breakfast.
