Great Food Right On the Lake
The Beacon is awesome! First off you HAVE to try their clam chowder! It’s to die for. That was the best part of the entire meal.
The Beacon sits right up against the water, so if you go during the daytime, you get gorgeous waterfront views of the lake. Dinner during sunset is probably the best time to go. During the summer, there’s an awesome outdoor patio area.
The restaurant is really casual during the day, and at night they seem to bust out the white tablecloths and make it into a fancier place.
Be sure to ask for what’s on special. When I was there, it was $2 draft Coors Light. Score! For my entree, I got the Surf & Turf Salad, which the waiter recommended. Excellent choice! It was a nice light salad with steak and shrimp (the shrimp was the best part).
I’d definitely recommend the Beacon anytime. It’s a little pricey, but the food is awesome, the service is great and you get awesome views of the lake while you enjoy your meal.
