A really good Friend took me here for Christmas brunch. It was more amazing than she described it. We walked the lake . The food was delicious in the combination of taste and meat was cooked right. The presentation of the food makes you feel you can stay awhile and eat at your own pace. The prices are economical for Brunch. They also have happy hour during the week with different menu options from the brunch menu. We enjoyed Bloody Mary while we people watched looking out to the lake. I’m going back to try their Happy hour menu. Their staff are super friendly and kind mannered.

We are booking this place for a rehearsal dinner. It has a great atmosphere with views of the little lake. The food is excellent and Brianna and the chef were so helpful and professional.
I wanted to update after our rehearsal dinner, and welcome party for my son’s wedding. I cannot rate them high enough. The staff were friendly, the service was excellent, the food and drinks were nothing short of amazing. The venue is beautiful and everyone loved it. I can’t say enough good things. I can’t figure out how to get my photos to load, but it was beautiful.
Thank you to everyone at The Blind Pig.

Came here for lunch and got the bacon wrapped dates ($13), artichoke dip ($12), short rib tacos ($22), and the BBQ chicken flatbread ($16). My favorite was the artichoke dip – it was super cheesy and yummy. The bacon wrapped dates were solid. I don’t like goat cheese, but the goat cheese wasn’t too overpowering, The sauce on top was a little too sweet. The BBQ chicken flatbread was pretty good, although the sauce was a little too sweet, and the chicken pieces were quite small. The short rib tacos were the most disappointing. The short ribs weren’t super tender and they lacked flavor. The tortilla did seem handmade, but it was too thick. Overall, the food was pretty good, but nothing exceptional. Ambiance is nice especially on the patio with the lake views.

The Blind Pig is a great spot by the lake. The food was good—flavorful, and satisfying. What really stood out was the excellent service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in the area.

The man and I had been meaning to try this spot out and finally decided to give it a try. I will start off by saying if you are more than 15 minutes late your reservation is automatically cancelled. We arrived on time but because there were people in front of me our reservation was cancelled. They did their best to accommodate us (thank you) but luckily we found a spot at the bar. All the servers we encountered were very friendly and our bartender Artie was the absolute bestest. We started with the deviled egg appetizer which was fine (didn’t knock my socks off but still good) for dinner I had the caesar wedge salad and the man had the lobster roll. Both very tasty and huge. )next time we will have the burger because it looked delicious) for drinks I had the swashbuckler (very good) and he had an old fashioned (which was good). All in all we enjoyed ourselves, atmosphere was good and the staff friendly. Will try again.

We sat on the patio overlooking the lake which was wonderful. They have two outdoor dining areas with a variety of seating for small and larger parties. Our server, Jessica was so nice, friendly and efficient. They offer a variety of craft drinks so I skipped my usual wine and tried The Damn Good Margarita which was so good I had two! My son the bartender also enjoyed his Mezcal of Duty. We tried the short rib tacos and Hanger steak which were very good. Next time I’ll skip the appetizer to save room for dessert!

This place is absolutely amazing! I went on a hot day, the staff did an amazing job at making sure everyone always had a good drink! Not just my table but everyone. My first impression wasn’t too great as it seemed small. Most of the business seating was outdoor. This allowed for a great view of the lake! The owner kept walking around and checking up on people. Making it feel as if they actually cared about the people whom stepped into the restaurant. Now for the food. I went out on a limb and we ordered things we don’t normally eat out due to being traumatized, as most restaurants I’ve gone to tend to mess it up.
First: the scallops… they were absolutely perfect! Half of the 5 and/or 5 places over cook scallops. The sear gave them a nice golden, crunch to them (see photo)
Second: the lamb. Perfect medium cooked! Juicy and well seasoned (not pictured)
Third: short rib tacos. The only negative thing I can say is, the cilantro avocado salsa wasn’t spicy at all. It had an amazing flavor though! Good enough to make you forget it wasn’t spicy!
Fourth: firecracker shrimp. It’s shrimp, fried with sweet and spicy.
Everything I ate that was, not only met my foodie expectations, but absolutely blew them away!
Can’t wait to go back for round 2!
Awesome work to their crew!

Came here for Happy Hour and enjoyed appetizers that were a few dollars off as well as cocktails for a small discount. The Moscow mule was served just right and I enjoyed it so much I had 2.
The bass filet which I had for dinner was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and very good.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the edamame, but i did love the basket of French fries.
Server was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was the best part with plenty of space and a gorgeous lake view.
5 out of 5 experience.

We just came here for drinks but they have excellent cocktails. Happy hour provides some decent deals but after wetting my palate at the bar, I will definitely be back for food. Cheers!

First time trying this place and could not have been impressed! We were planning to have an appetizer and a drink while we waited for our table at a neighboring restaurant. Our server, Amanda, was so captivating that we actually decided to stay for dinner because of her and are so glad we did!! The Jidori Chicken Adobo and the Striped Bass Filet were incredible. They both offered a wonderful balance of flavors and textures that had us cleaning our plates.
