What diners say
“My brother recently moved into the Village of Erin Meadows, and decided to host a meal for the family and friends who helped with the move. Set on the top floor of the building, the view is a nice one, looking south towards the lake. The tables are far enough apart that it is easy to move around, and conversation is easy and pleasant. There is a relatively small selection of dishes and wines, but what they had was all very well prepared, nicely presented, and really tasty. The most surprising aspect of the evening was the price point: particularly for the quality of the food (not to mention the great service) and the surroundings, the cost was surprisingly low. In short, I would really recommend the restaurant for family and/or friend gatherings at the Village.“
