"Delicious! Get the Key Lime Pie and Banana Foster Cake for dessert. So good! The steak bites appetizer is fantastic. Enjoyed happy hour and a nice dinner overlooking the lake. Fabulous servers as well. Will definitely go back."

"Absolutely fabulous food! Small dining room with a bar and windows overlooking the bay. The two of us shared the duck wontons as an appetizer, and they were absolutely fabulous ! My fish tacos were amazing and my husband enjoyed his jambalaya as well. We left very satisfied! Service was fairly quick and very attentive. We will definitely be visiting again on our next trip!"
Julie Popoutsis
"Top deck is one of our FAVORITE restaurants- great view, great staff, great food! We love the date night menu they do, rotating unique specials through the regular menu. Whether you stop in just for appetizers and a drink or two on your way home for the day or go for an epic full dinner, they sure know how to please! My favorites are their north bay fish chowder, the brussel sprout chips with balsamic, bleu cheese, and bacon, and of course, their "Blue Monday" cocktail with their own infused vodka! Shad is the BEST bartender ever, and the cooks really take pride in their creations and creative menu. Oh, and the VIEW is unbeatable."
