    "Deceptively large location with all the classic bar pump food. Outdoor tiki bar indoor bar large indoor seated area with a vibrant and ample deck facing the water. Good music friendly staff... A wonderful time to have a drink a meal with friends"

    "Atmosphere was cool, music was good, food was ok. Our waitress and bartender was nice. Drinks were definitely watered down. Crazy thing is that there was an abundance of security some of which had clearly been drinking. There were more security then wait staff. At some point of the night they ran out of silverware and we were given plastic utensils. We ordered the Chicken Marsala & ribs. Caramel Martini"

    "Not High Tides any more. It's the Water's Edge. The sevicr from our waitress,Woe, couldn't get any better. Sticky rib app should not be missed. I had the stuffed lobster, which was stuffed with shrimp and mashed potatoes. It was a nice size and absolutely delicious. My husband has the bourbon rib eye. It wss cooked to the exact right temp and it wss succulent. Definitely going back!"

    "Great Location! Great Service! Small Menu! Never been here before! Saw it passing thru, drove in from Houston! Awesome place for locals, not so much for out of towners! Enjoyed the shrimp boil (little spicy for it being mild), but still delish! Ordered extra potatoes (it was still on the raw side) and sausage (it was cold). Will we be back? Possibly!"

    "Great atmosphere and loved the outdoor seating. The outdoor bar was nice esp at night all lit up at night. There was plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The DJ music was great however they equipment speakers were not great! I was definitely expecting better esp with how amazing the atmosphere and energy was. I know the perfect DJ for that place if they ever consider a definite upgrade! The food was great. I had a burger cooked perfectly. The wait staff was especially rude not only my husband and I when we were ready to order but others around our table as well. It's a shame because I'm sure we all would have tipped more if the outside wait staff were not rude when we asked to order or when we said no to moving inside because it was raining just a little. The bartenders inside were awesome very friendly and had great energy! It was nice for our first time there overall."

    "The decor is amazing and the restaurant itself, along with the riverside scenery is amazing... the food however fell flat in terms of taste and flavor. And the price was too high for such a lack of great dishes. My wife and I ordered the mild buffalo wings (bone-in as opposed to their boneless) for an appetizer and they were good. But our entrees were not to our liking. I ordered the mahi and it was dry. She ordered the Seafood scampi dish and it was better than my entree, but still just okay for the rather high price (I forget the actual names of the dishes). We also ordered drinks. My mango martini was very good. She ordered a Margarita that I tasted- there was more sour mix than tequila in the drink. I wish I had more pictures to share with this review because the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and very upscale. The pictures I have posted here do NOT do the beauty of this upscale restaurant justice...but I forgot to take more pictures before I left and I regret that. All in all, come for the beauty and the serenity of this restaurant that is literally beside a very relaxing lake. Come for some drinks and appetizers, but don't go all out on the entrees because you will end up spending more than you would hope for in terms of a fine dining experience at such a beautiful restaurant."
