Knot Just a Bar, known for their collection of infused vodkas (horseradish, garlic, pickle, jalapeño, and citrus), keeps their menu fresh, so I missed out on shrimp and grits (no longer in the menu). They have a pretty wide variety, so there’s always something delicious to enjoy while taking in one of the best views on the peninsula.

Stopped in for dinner and some wine next door. Service was prompt and we had a great view of the bay. We had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was good and fresh. Only complaint really is that overall the price seems a little high for the food but given the location it’s ok.

The food was ok – for appetizers it took FOREVER to come out (soup, salad, pretzels and smoked chilled whitefish). Server was not attentive – no straws, no dressing for the salad. But the view from the deck – absolutely gorgeous

Hotel clerk recommended this place and she wasn’t wrong. Awesome fresh food which came out nice and hot. Very quick and efficient staff despite having almost a full house.

Food shown: Pretzels to start, the fish cone with whitefish, and the rasta pasta with chicken, absolutely amazing. Got a huge piece of their carrot cake to go as well.

Absolutely eat here!

The food was really good. The service was majorly lacking.. didn’t ask if we wanted anything else drinks, dessert, etc. We waited forever to get our bill and to go boxes after asking. Maybe other servers are better than the one we had. Overall it’s worth the food.. bring your patience if coming here.

In matters of taste, sentimentality is a dangerous thing — yet there are moments when even the most disciplined critic must surrender.

At Knot Just a Bar, perched humbly on the edge of Omena Bay, I was served the Famous Fish Kone, filled with beautifully fried pike-perch any trace of skepticism vanished with the first bite.
The fish arrived hot, crisp, and unapologetically golden, its flaky interior reminding me that simplicity, when treated with respect, can be profound. The malt vinegar — sharp, bracing, and utterly necessary — cut through the richness like a well-placed critique, elevating the dish rather than distracting from it.

This was not food that begged for attention. It earned it. No foam, no pretense, no needless reinvention — just expertly fried local fish, served in a cone, beside the water that likely knew it first.

I came expecting “just a bar.”
I left reminded that greatness often hides in paper cones, deck chairs, and a splash of vinegar.
Final verdict: A rare triumph where comfort food and quiet excellence meet. I will return — and next time, I won’t pretend it’s for research.

We loved our meal and experience here. Not super busy when we went and we were treated so well by the hostess and our server. The food was standard menu items but prepared exceptionally well. I highly recommend the BLT. I also felt like my kids were welcome and that makes the whole dining out experience much more enjoyable for us. Not to mention the VIEW!

Our server Paige was SUPER nice and did a great job! The fish sandwich & fish baskets were both wonderful. The four of us split a piece of carrot cake!!! It was still plenty. It’s huge! The views are great as well. I highly recommend.

We stopped by on our way sightseeing and ordered some breakfast to go. It was so amazing that we came back that evening to have dinner. The salmon salad and baby back ribs were delicious. Sit outside, you won’t regret it.
