Lake-facing patios, west-shore tasting rooms, the dock at the right time of year. Bring a sweater after seven, even in July.
The west shore's own bar and grill on W. Higgins Lake Drive, under new ownership with a back patio and tiki bar added on for anyone not ready to leave once the sun starts down. Burgers, sandwiches, and a full bar, with live music some summer nights. Open daily, breakfast through dinner. It's the only real sit-down restaurant on this side of the lake, which explains the wait on a July Saturday.
