For such an awesome location, this place is lame. I don't want to hear techno music blowing out my ear drumbs or horrible karoke on a Thursday night. I want to chill at a bar and talk to someone and drink a beer.
One of the finest restaurants on the lake. The food is always good, the service is attentive and you never feel rushed. We always feel like family.
We like eating at Pavinci's. Mario the owner is very friendly. The food comes out paced and you never feel rushed. We eat there often and have never had a bad meal.
Food is fine. Slowest service I've ever experienced in my life! Why should it take 20 minutes to get a drink from the bar?
My wife and I had dinner here recently and we really liked it. We both had seafood meals that were excellent. The dress was casual and the view over the water was nice as well. Unlike some other lakeside restaurants, we had our meals on real plates (not a plastic basket). Overall we were very impressed and will return with family and friends.
I was very disappointed by their brunch which was made up of almost all prepackaged, frozen foods, from the eggo-type waffles to the sausage patties to the stale, mass produced rolls and other breads. The lox was cheap, thick cut and fishy; the mozzarella on the antipasto was bland, and the sushi was subpar. You could make up the whole meal at Shoprite for not much more, and it would taste better. Not worth the price.
