I happened to find myself at Gino's Surf twice this month, once was last Sunday for my cousin's birthday party and the first time was at the beginning of the month after my neighbor's son's wedding. \r

We were thrilled with the sunday brunch, as great as the lake view was... the food was even better. They had great selection of seafood, ""land""food, salads and deserts (I think I ate three different kinds of cheesecake). We got there at about 11:30 and with all the visting and eating, we lost track of the time and walked out of there at about 2:15. During the brunch the owner had come over and talked with us for a bit, he said that they are in the process of updating the waterfront with a gazebo and a tiki-bar and they are also changing the back with some new structures and landscaping. \r

The wedding reception. I had to leave the reception shortly after dinner, but I spoke with my neighbor the day after and she said that her son was thrilled at how everything turned out. For dinner, we had Pasta with Meat Sauce, Green Bean Almondine, Red-Skin potatoes, Chicken Siciliano, Italian-Style Meatballs and Roast Beef (which was carved by one the restaurant's chefs). There were about 250 people going through the buffet line and surprisingly it went fast and smooth. So after a filling dinner and a few ""adult beverages"" I had to head out, but I heard that everyone danced themselves silly for the remainder of the night.\r

I've had two very good experiences with Gino's. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in a good sunday brunch or interested in holding a wedding reception.
