• Atmosphere. wonderful outside deck!
• Wait staff, and rude manager.

“Amazing specials. When I visit this restaurant that is what I always get. Lets the talent of the chefs shine in ways that they work the best. I do have to say though that the service is the worst or all restaurants in Morgantown. Not only did the service lack major effort, but when I asked to speak to a manager, this guy comes out, and basically tells me that it was our tables fault, and that because of us everyone else's service was going to be miserable. Rude! Not only did we ever ask for anything other than a simple drink refill because we were sitting in the sun and hot, which I hope is understandable, but my god, it shouldn't be hard to refill drinks. But. here I am writing a review instead to get out some anger and to let others know about the lack of effort that the wait staff and manager puts into the restaurant. The owners should really look into finding another manager ASAP!”

Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Outdoor dining.
• Wait staff (from multiple visits), smoky interior.

“Probably one of the best is Archie's Lake house located next to the Sunset Beach Marina on Cheat Lake neat Morgantown, WV. The menu is slightly above average (if you're a vegetarian, best to go elsewhere) with a decent selection of entrees, sandwiches, salads, etc. at reasonable prices. But where this restaurant loses points (and my business) is with its wait staff. I have not been here when service was not slow and inattentive, and this is why I return only occasionally at the urging of friends. I will have to learn not to listen to these friends, because last evening's 2- hour long dining experience (not a huge multi-course meal, mind you, but sandwiches and two hard-fought-for drinks) was frustrating at best. Yes, the food was good, but the server disappeared for long periods, never being around when drink refills were needed and, worst, when my friend's meal arrived totally wrong and everyone (but she) was done eating before we were able to pin down the location of our waitress. Also, I would never go here when I couldn't be seated outside. An amber haze hangs over the interior dining area and the cigarette smoke makes it difficult to even wait inside for a few minutes to be seated at an outdoor table.”

• Fresh sea food specials. Amazing chefs.
• But it is fine dining (not cheap).

“Best place to eat in Morgantown. It has a huge deck right on the lake which is great for summer time, but it has a beautiful dining room too. Great for large parties. The menu has everything and is one of the most original in the town.”
