The WaterFront

Great food and excellent service!! Plenty of gluten free options, I'd say about half of the menu can be made gluten free. The menu mentions "flour flying around in the kitchen", I'd guess since they serve pizza. So you may want to stay away from the flatbread pizzas if you're very sensitive/celiac. Both times we've come here they've been very busy but we hardly had to wait to get a table. Excellent view of the sunset over the lake from the patio. It's a little pricey but in this case you get what you pay for, it was well worth it! Also fun to people watch when there's a wedding in the nearby banquet area 🥂

Decent sized GF menu. The food was subpar at best and there was flies everywhere and we were seated inside. Pizza, seafood, burgers, and a couple appetizers.

We waited 45 minutes just to order. (Although I give our waitress a little give on that one, she had a table of at least 20 as well.) We ordered an appetizer off the gf menu that came out not gluten free and them we were told that one couldn't be made gluten free. The dish I got was bland, my husband said his wasn't filling, he got the lobster Mac and cheese and had lobster shells in it. (Obviously not gluten free but still issues with it). The table next to us got served raw chicken twice and they didn't replace her plate, sides or silverware (salmonella?) I ordered the gf chocolate torte to go, there was ice cream in the container that out server told us she didn't know if it was gluten free or not. The view was the only good part about this restaurant.

I had the Waters Edge Chicken. Very tasty. Had no side effects. A longer wait, but seemed short staffed. A bit more expensive than expected.

The califlower crust Red, Hot and Blue pizza was spicy and good. I did not have a negative reaction and believe they paid attention to my allergy. The service was slow, it is just after Covid19 and help is hard to get right now.

Flat bread pizza GF crust was good. The server asked if it was for an allergy and made a special notation. I appreciate this option on the lake and I didn’t get sick.
