A New Chapter for Queens Landing
The former Queens Landing site at 1459 River Highway in Mooresville is undergoing a stunning transformation that promises to elevate Lake Norman's waterfront dining scene. Vitale Hospitality Group is bringing two exciting new venues to this prime lakefront location, expected to open in June 2026.
Vitale Lakeside: Family-Friendly Waterfront Dining
The ground floor will house Vitale Lakeside, a family-friendly restaurant designed to be a gathering place for lake-goers and locals alike. With direct dock access and casual lakeside vibes, it's poised to become a new favorite for boaters looking for a quality meal on the water.
Bonnie & Clyde: Upscale Cocktail Lounge
Upstairs, Bonnie & Clyde will offer an elevated nightlife experience with craft cocktails and stunning lake views. This upscale lounge adds a sophisticated option for those seeking something beyond the typical lakeside bar scene.
The Development Features
Longtime Operators Excited About Upgrades
While the property undergoes transformation, two established businesses continue to serve the Lake Norman boating community from Queens Landing.
CS Boat Rentals: 20+ Years on Lake Norman
CS Boat Rentals has been a fixture on Lake Norman for over two decades, and they're thrilled about the upgrades coming to their home base. They offer Bennington tritoon boats and Yamaha WaveRunners, with a convenient check-in kiosk inside the Queens Landing building. Reservations are recommended, though walk-ups are welcome when availability permits.
"The new development is going to be fantastic for our customers," says the CS Boat Rentals team. "The new docks are already complete, and now they'll have great dining options right here when they return from a day on the water."
Lake Effects Boat Club: Growing with the Lake
Lake Effects Boat Club operates their Queens Landing location as part of their expanding Lake Norman network, which also includes Midway Marina and their flagship location at Stutts Marina. The membership-based boat club gives members access to a professionally maintained fleet without the hassles of boat ownership.
The club has been operating at Queens Landing for two years and sees the Vitale development as a major enhancement to the member experience.
What This Means for Lake Norman
Queens Landing's transformation represents the continued evolution of Lake Norman's waterfront. The combination of established, trusted operators like CS Boat Rentals and Lake Effects Boat Club with new high-end dining options creates a true destination for boaters and land-lovers alike.
The June 2026 opening can't come soon enough for lake enthusiasts eager to experience what promises to be one of Lake Norman's premier waterfront destinations.
