"My pork chop was excellent as were the halibut and steaks! Sides were yummy! The warm vanilla cake was Devine! Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable! So cute! The wait staff was sure efficient! My only negative was the noise level in the wine room! I do realize that is difficult to regulate! But it was so noisy due to children (should not be in there) and a group of women who were cackling loudly! We could hardly have a conversation! But we will be back! Maybe not in the wine room!"

"We visited for the first time on a Tuesday evening. Sat out in the patio, which has such a great vibe! The lighting, the heat lamps, the fancy table settings. My BF and I were out on a date night and this place didn't disappoint for the great atmosphere. Live music on patio would have been great! Maybe they offer that on the weekends. Our server was attentive and very helpful. They start you off with some bread (mid) and a yummy green sauce. We ordered the calamari and it was one of the best we ever had. Portion somewhat small for the two of us but wow the flavor/texture can't be beat. We also ordered the pep and sausage pizza so good. And the tortellini with mushrooms rich, creamy, so decadent. The quality of the food is excellent, it definitely is a place to go when you want top notch ingredients, service and food/wine selections. I did try a red wine and it was really good. Happy to have such a great place right close to home!"

"DO NOT CATER WITH NATRAJ. They are dishonest and only care about getting your money. We were looking for a vendor to cater for our wedding. In the final stages of signing the contract we discovered that they had signed another client on our requested date without giving us any notice. We drove all the way from San Diego for the tasting, emailed back and forth to iron out final details, and were ready to sign when they removed the contract without letting us know. Food was OK, but not the best Indian food in the area. The owner acted nice on the surface but dismissed any inquiries we had, telling us to email his wife instead. Emails from the owner's wife, Lisa, were unprofessional. She did not directly answer our questions/concerns and repeatedly requested info that had been previously given. No attention to detail and definitely not polite or friendly. We understand that this is a business but with all the back and forth daily communication for over a month's duration concerning the details of our wedding, a simple notice that another party was competing for the date should have been communicated. Even at the point of canceling our contract, we had to ask Natraj what happened. They failed to notify us. Overall we had a terrible experience. We recommend taking your business elsewhere."

"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!"
