    We were seated immediately and were greeted by a friendly and efficient waitress. She provided everything we needed. Was very attentive. The salad bar was outstanding and kept very clean. The food was delicious and hot. Very enjoyable experience!

    I ordered a medium well steak, was very well done and very chewy. Potatoes were very thick and starchy...hard to swallow.

    Phenomenal ambiance, beautiful view, food was incredible and with so many options as a gluten free diner. I highly recommend. I wish I had enough room for dessert! Mandy was a fantastic and knowledgeable server!

    We came here at the end of the day on Mother's Day so they had been busy all day. The food was good overall but we could tell it had been sitting out for a while before coming to us and that the lobster in the lobster bisque was only lukewarm. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were all very kind. There was a nice variety on the menu although they started running out of some of the food which we only discovered after ordering. The service was below average; our waitress forgot our wine and bread and took a long time to come back to take our order. The food also took longer than average, with other tables with larger parties getting their food well before us (we were only a party of two). She told us certain sides were included in our meal when they weren't and then charged us for them (we took this up with the manager and they were taken off). We were later told that our waitress was new which explained the questionable service. I think had we had a different waitress our experience would've been quite different but we didn't so I can only rate this based on our experience with her. It's still probably the nicest restaurant in Defiance but not sure if it would last in a larger city.

    What can I say but the staff from top to bottom are the best around. Can't say enough about how the respond to your needs and anticipate them. One of the main reasons we keep going back.....the food's not bad either.

    Heather took great care of us while we celebrated our anniversary! We sat on the patio overlooking the golf course while the evening sun shined down on our shoulders. I had coconut shrimp and my husband had the key West snapper. Both were very delicious! This is our favorite restaurant.

    We were looking for a special treat for our anniversary and we found it! The service was friendly and professional. Despite the weather the scenery was very pretty. The food was outstanding! Both of us had the Key West Snapper. It is a bit newer to the menu, and we hope it stays! It was grilled beautifully. The saffron risotto was moist but still "toothsome". The Key West cream with shrimp and crab meat was wonderful. The Ceaser salads were perfectly dressed and suprisingly large. The table bread is a wonderful walnut/cranberry loaf. I loved it but my wife can't have nuts. When we spoke to our server, she quickly brought a basket of fresh dinner rolls.
