JB Hook's Restaurant

While we would never encourage anyone to overindulge in any alcoholic beverages in one sitting, you will want to come back often so you can try all of the amazing martini varieties that our bartenders have come up with. We only hire the very best mixologists at our Lake of the Ozarks fine dining restaurant .  Martini Fun Facts JB Hook's offers many signature martinis that each have their own unique ingredients.

Benefits of Eating Seafood First and foremost, one amazing benefit of dining on seafood is the fact that it tastes fantastic, but that's not the only reason you should focus on these menu items when you sit down for a meal.
