No, we are a seasonal restaurant. Most years we open the beginning of April and close the end of October. Spring and Fall we are open only weekends and then seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Although we are located within Port Royale Marina we are open to the pubic by car or boat! No, we are simply a first come, first serve restaurant.
Port Royale is Lake Lanier's flagship marina property and has been consistently voted the #1 marina on Lake Lanier. With world class infrastructure, best in class amenities, and our relentless commitment to service, you'll sleep easy knowing you're boating with the very best. So whether you're looking for boat storage, boat rentals, boat sales, or boat service, we have you covered.

Always a great time. Beautiful lake views, great service, and a good mix of foods on the menu. The atmosphere is very cool as you are on a floating restaurant / bar surrounded by the lake and a marina full of boats. Usually have music on weekends. Wait times can be long but can't beat the view while waiting. Accessible by boat or car.

The fact that this restaurant has decent reviews baffles me. Absolutely horrible. Extremely crowded. Table wait time estimate was an hour off. Just as we were about to throw in the towel on the place, what do you know the table is ready. Yea we waited about 2 and a half hours for overpriced cafeteria chicken tender garbage. Don't come here in mid June. You'd be better off driving 5 miles to a different restaurant.

Just found this little gem, Great and I mean great on the water location. Food was good but the drinks were better, lol. Heard they close for the winter unfortunately but for the area this is tops so far. Can't get closer to being on the water than being on the water. Great staff also! Stephanie was able to keep up and was more than helpful in helping us choose our meal and drink selection.

If you are looking for a somewhat unique setting, this is the place for you. The food is awesome. The views are amazing. It's a breath of fresh air. Also, I can bring my little fur babies here without a problem. I wish I had taken more food pic but it was so good that I completely forgot the staff could be a little more friendly though- just saying

This is the only floating restaurant on Lanier which is pretty neat! The entire restaurant is outdoors, but it felt very good with the breeze. We ordered the Pete's hot chicken sandwich and the blackened salmon spinach salad. Both were very tasty, and I highly recommend.

An amazing set up. Gorgeous views of the water. Lots of parking, places to wait or just wander. The hostess stand was friendly. The servers were helpful and efficient. The value of food and drinks was reasonable. The food was decent, we had lobster roll, Nashville hot chicken and seafood pasta. Live music was good, entertaining and engaging. Welcomed dogs, water bowls were available and there were several dogs in today.

Top to bottom fantastic, good drinks, good food, great service and they had live music the last time we were there on May 1st and he was really good. When I come here, I really never want to leave. I can't wait to come back. We absolutely love the island feel of this place on a beautiful day.

Nice location yeh drinks are excellent the food and service however are pretty basic for the $$. Very busy location in the weekend. Getting a seat or a drink seems very disorganized and confusing as to who the waitress is as it seemed to be a different one each time. We were just too so the seats at our table were taken and replaced at least 3 times as we are.

That's no problem but a likely acknowledgment would have been polite instead of the waters walking over and noisily dragging the seats off time and again as we held our drinks from spilling. No social distancing practice I could see except for the bar where they make everyone line up in a more confined area. Also the staff and given lovely chin straps to wear around how nice. I know it's outside but a wipe down of the tables would have been nice instead if the stick mess we got. I would have thought that was general though.
