The Landing at Parker Creek’s reputation for great food and atmosphere followed owners Herb and Betty Winches to Harbor Pointe at Restful Cove, where he opened a second container restaurant there last month.

Winches opened The Landing on Parker Creek in 2015, turning the previously considered outlying area into a Lake Martin destination. He hired an award-winning chef, Torrey ‘Flyin’ Hawaiian’ Hall, who created a unique menu with international flavors, and he welcomed corn hole competitions, live music and friendly dogs. He built docks to encourage lake traffic and put in a beach where children love to wade in the water. But the drive to get there by water or land is a long one for folks who live or rent on the south and east sections of Lake Martin.
