The outdoor dining is calming and the lakeside views are so unique to the desert. The black swan floating by was an added magical moment. The delicious food was served while we gazed at the lighted fountain in the center of the lake and felt the warmth of the fire pits. It was just a delightful evening.

This was our first visit in over a year because of a not too good previous experience. We decided to give it another try. The food was very good and the servers very attentive. It’s such a beautiful setting sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. The fire pits were lit and there were plenty of heaters so we were very comfortable. It’s a shame there were only two other tables with guests on a Friday night during season. We did not feel the presence of a manager on duty. The young man sitting at the front desk was more interested in looking at his phone than his job. We will go back.

Our table by the lake had tons gnats flying over us and into our water glasses. We moved tables and there were fewer gnats, but there were large gross bugs like beetles here and there. One went on my shoe and then I lost my appetite and could not wait to leave. The meals were just okay with small portions with a limited menu. One and done!
