This place is truly amazing! The view is breathtaking also. I was greeted right away by a very friendly waitress. Took my order quickly, food came out in a timely manner, hot and so tasty. Try the steak bites, they are delicious, tender and juicy! Very happy with my service here! Music was so entertaining and sounded real good tonight. Oh and another great thing here is the owner, thanks Melissa for being real welcoming to me!

It's was wonderful to hear about the restoration that has taken place! Melissa, the owner, was happy to tell us stories of The Cleveland house, both old and new. Nice atmosphere! Cozy, they host bands, follow on Facebook for more info on bands and events such as St Patty's day, and band info. They have a well stocked bar for a small bar, both liquor and beer. Now for the food. It's was our first time there, and we only had appetizers, stuffed cheddar jalapeno tots, steak bites, and cheese steak quesadias. These were absolutely delicious! Tots came out looking like toasted marshmellows, dont be fooled, thin crunchy layer with a softer flavorful inside. Yum! The steak bites are marinated & grilled, I believe, and are very tender. The quesadia was a really good size with lots of filling, you will not be disappointed! I can't wait to go back to try dinner! Great place to stop taking a drive around the lake. Parking is across the street.
