I wasn't going to start my own thread on this because that just seems cruel to the owners of a new restaurant, but now that there's one started I'll throw in my 2 cents.

My wife and I tried this place a couple months back and we were very disappointed. We went in with our eye's wide open, knowing that this is the type of place locals are more likely to frequent. Frankly, I enjoy those types of places from time to time rather than the other Meredith restaurants typically packed with summer residents. Sometimes all you want is good food, good service and no frills.

We walked in and grabbed a table next to the widow with a view of the lake -things were looking promising. We sat there for a half an hour before the waiter took our order - uh oh. The place was pretty empty other than one table of ~8 people (with a screaming kid). I had a craving for some pizza and the menu said flatbread, so I was sold. My wife ordered chicken parm, because it's impossible to mess that up and is generally a good test if a restaurant is at least somewhat competent. My pizza came out half an hour later. It was basically one of those 8 inch pizzas that Papa Ginos places on a conveyor toaster oven. My wife's chicken parm came out ten minutes later overcooked.

Probably not going back.
