Stopped by for an early dinner. The restaurant about 25 percent full with mostly locals at the bar which is attached to the main dining area. The music from the stereo was blaring and it was a little hard to have a normal dinner conversation. We were seated at a table viewing the lake. There are tables inside and out.... More

We have lunch at Boathouse on the Pier (previously Bistro on the Pier and before that, Blue Water Bistro) about once a month.

Service was good, the wine list interesting and well priced and the view is fabulous

My wife and I split the Asian Chicken Salad - very large, very good - only complaint the chicken was a tad dry, the French Onion Soup - perfect!, the Shrimp Cocktail - only 4 large shrimp, but they were excellent, and they...
