Best Steak in around! The view isn’t bad either! You’re missing out if you haven’t been.

Beautiful spot next to lake Vermillion! Very friendly (and FAST)service. Food was great, lake was gorgeous. We watched a bald eagle catch a fish out of the lake. This is a hidden gem.

They must use the nicest of ingredients because it doesn't give off the icky feel other restaurants have! I will be going back soon
