Cooper’s Restaurant Review

This small space is a beer-lover’s paradise with a nice selection of Belgian brews and a way-beyond-average bar menu. Soft lighting keeps things cozy, and the eats get a decidedly upscale twist. Duck confit mac ‘n’ cheese and spicy PEI mussels start things off. And the disco fries, heaped with cheese, barbecue brisket, sour cream and scallions, have a name (and ingredients) that are hard to...

Casual Lakeview bar and restaurant features stepped up food to match a global beer list.

Our party of nine loved the food -- salads, sandwiches, salmon -- all excellent. The golden, crispy fries really are as wonderful as the other reviewers claim. I would also like to recommend the vegetarian french onion soup -- that alone was worth the trip. The deck was booked for a private party on the night of our visit so...
