At JB Hook's , we not only have a 5-star menu at the Lake of the Ozarks , but we have an extensive wine menu to choose from as well. Here are a few pairing suggestions to get the weekend started! The Manhattan - Electra Moscato "California" This pan seared pangasius filet is topped with sundried tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil, while bathed in a sweet vermouth cream sauce.

When you dine at the best steak and seafood restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks , the toughest decision for you may be whether you should have a savory steak or a scrumptious seafood dish. The easiest way to break that tie is by choosing one of the magnificent menu items off of our JB Hook's Surf 'N' Turf menu. The best of both worlds, all on one plate! The term "Surf 'N' Turf" seems to have been introduced in the 1960's. If you are unfamiliar with what that is, it's very simple. The "Surf" portion refers to our delicious seafood items that once lived life in the water. "Turf" is food that is generally classified as a grass-fed land animal, most typically steak.  Put those two things together and the result is a delicious meal full of the best flavors imaginable, especially when it's coming out of our kitchen! Here are the different ways that we put the pair together at JB Hook's.  SURF 'N...

If it doesn't rain, the grass that feeds the cows does not grown and forces farmers to buy more feed.  Steak is an exce...
