GOTL Brewery

After a busy day on the strip, all I wanted to do was sit down and have a nice dinner with my family. This place was moderately busy, not slammed for a Saturday night. The lake view was gorgeous! The food took an exceptionally long time to arrive. We started with the crab cakes. They were tasty, but overall quite mushy. I've read other reviews where people rave about them. About how crispy and wonderful they were. Not even close. We then ordered 2 Angus strip steaks on a stone and a Mahi tuna on the stone. After we placed our order, our waitress disappeared. Like it was a magic act. No refills were offered, no checking in with us. Nothing but crickets. We had to flag down other servers to get anywhere. Our dinner took damn near 40 minutes to arrive! We almost got up and left! (In hindsight, we should have! ) Every other table around us was receiving excellent service! A group even came in 20 minutes AFTER US and received their dinner BEFORE US! The steaks and tuna were exceptional! It's a really cool concept to cook your food as you like over a super hot stone! However, I have a major complaint as far as the sides go. For the price point of those dinners, using instant mashed potatoes was not okay! C'mon, guys! I know you can do better!This overall experience was very disappointing. Especially for the amount of money we spent there. We ended up letting a manager know about our situation, and she was nice enough to handle it immediately. She adjusted our bill accordingly. Unlike our waitress. I won't say names because I don't want to ruin her, but we'll call her C. Shame on you, C! I've worked in the service industry for 13 years and I would never act that way towards my customers! But, I digress. Some people just have no integrity. Obviously, we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone.

During a long weekend in GOTL, we were all a little underwhelmed with the food options in town, so I wasn't really expecting one of the best meals to be at the in town brewery. But I'm pleased to have been wrong! They have an extensive beer/cocktail list, with only a few house brews. So I got a can of peach cider that was on the sweet side, but very good. For my meal, I opted for the honey garlic chicken, with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was falling apart, which is hard to do, and oh so good with the honey garlic sauce. Fresh green beans, well cooked, and the mashed potatoes were a hit, too. We really enjoyed the meal and the outdoor patio is great, but there was a storm rolling in so we didn't enjoy as much of the view as we had hoped. Still, a great meal, friendly staff, and a nice end to our vacation!

THE view of the lake!We were looking up and down the strip for a place to grab a beer and simultaneously view the sunset over the lake. GOTL has a PERFECT view that so many spots nearby don't offer. They should advertise on the view alone. We got beers and sat on their patio directly on the lake. The house beers are great and they also have food options. The servers were nice and so kind knowing that we were only there to see the sunset and grab a quick drink.I cannot emphasize enough that this is the place to be to see the sunset on the lake.

This was the best meal we had in GOTL. I liked the patio area, and the beer was decent too. A must stop when you're in the area.

I don't know where to even start with this place! The service was incredible and fast. The food was amazing. I got the Certified angus strip w/ garlic mashed potato's and waffle fries. The angus was brought on a volcanic rock slab and cooked while I was sitting there and eating sides. It was one of the best steaks I've had. The potato's were also just as amazing. I was to full to eat all my fries but they were okay a little to crunchy for me but good. I also got the Mermaid Water which was so good! I would recommend this place! The view of the lake was also very pretty I couldn't see a lot from the side of the bar I was on but it was a nice day and pretty out. It also felt very homely and felt familiar to be at.

Went there Saturday evening. The food is descent and priced as you would expect for a tourist area. The atmosphere is really nice with the lake view and outdoor seating. Our server was very good and there was no rush to leave after your meal.The negative that I found is with the beer pricing. My wife had a 16oz pale ale and I opted for the 24oz. When the bill came, the 16oz was $7 (which was fine) but the 24oz, (only 8 ounces more) was $13. Why would the cost per ounce be so much more for the 24oz size? I felt cheated with this experience.

Lovely views of Lake Erie in a relaxed setting. The beer is great and food is solid. There's a cool outside bar overlooking the water and tons of table seating inside and outside (also facing the water) for groups large and small. There wasn't much of a bar crowd when we were there but maybe it gets busy later. Overall, it's a nice view with solid food and great service!

Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here! We outdid ourselves by ordering both the perogies and the steak fries as appetizers and they were insanely delicious. After basically inhaling those we decided to share a strip and shrimp on their rock grill. I'd never seen something like this before and the steak was honestly fantastic. Their patio has a great view of the lake and having the outside bar was also nice while we waited for a table. We can't wait to come back! :)

The food and service were great. The variety of options both from food and beverage ensured options for everyone. The black stone experience was a great touch and option. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation was great. The weather was not all that good which impact the atmosphere slightly outdoors

Three of us ate their mid September and got serious food poisoning two of us had a burger. View and service were good but I would never go back.
