This was my first time to eat here and it did not disappoint!! I had the chicken Quesadilla and it was cooked to perfection. My cousin had the special, which was meatloaf, and she said it was good. I will definitely come back and try something else.

Just kind of bland feeling. Feels like you’re in a cafeteria, the food is good but way overpriced. That’s what you get in a town with no competition though.

The food wasn't prepared how we ordered it. My husband ordered chicken Alfredo with extra sauce, I ordered cajun chicken fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli. Both lacked flavor. They forgot to make mine Cajun so they just brought out a small bowl of Cajun seasoning. It was very overpriced and was not quality food. This is the 2nd time we have been there and both experiences have been the same.

Neat place on the river. I had drinks only.
Bobbie was an excellent server! Drinks overpriced, and the way they are presented on the receipt is confusing. Oh well!

It was our waitresses first day and I don't she had ever served before. No refills, missing food, and she only checked on us once. I got a mixed drink and it was watered down and just tasted like pineapple. She did refund that which is why i gave it 2 stars. I got a Philly cheese and salad. Never got the salad until I mentioned it as I was about to leave. Buddy had a burger and fries. The fries were good but over all the experience was expensive and disappointing.

When I go out I expect to eat food I can not cook at home. The price, location, and taste lead me to the conclusion its aimed towards older people that golf and can't handle much flavor or spice.

I encourage the restaurant to bring in a chef to work over the menu, and train for better service.

It was good but the chicken was almost rubbery. Over all would go back.

Long wait for an overpriced, charred steak. Gave it another chance after year after year of disappointment. Should have known what I was in for. Would rather eat a hot dog from Casey’s

Everything seems premade and just warmed up, no flavor.

The views from this place is absolutely amazing. I have given it more chances than I should have, only because of the view. Service has been good most of the time, I’ve gone for just a drink which was a great experience. The problem is, as great as the location is the food is just Ok. It’s bland, soulless and is as if you were eating in a hospital cafeteria. Worse it’s priced like it should taste good. I’ve tried multiple things from their menu, stay away from any beef. They have absolutely no idea how to grill a steak, the prime rib was a joke. Go there have a drink, enjoy the view and just get an appetizer. Your palate and wallet will thank you!
