Don’t get the steak. Mediocre at absolute best. The rest of the food was the same.

Our first time here. We had a beautiful evening view of the river. Atmosphere was great along with the service. Food was good but we only had an appetizer and salad. I would return.

The blackened shrimp pasta has a very unique taste but would recommend!
The NY Strip was not what i expected.
It looked good on the outside but when i was cutting and biting into it, it was chewy/rubbery.

Service was whack!
Our server was nowhere to be seen near our table most of the time and had an attitude.
I asked her to bring me an item for my meal and she comes back 10-15 minutes later with it when i was already mostly finished with my plate.

It was a one time visit for us only here.

You can be waited on by Larry Hagman's granddaughter - but that's only half the awesomeness of this spot!

I wish I had all positive things to say about eating here, but the best thing about this place is the service. The wait staff and the manager during breakfast (Lucas) were lovely, and very helpful.

My hubby and I ate breakfast here twice. The first morning, I had the smoothie bowl, which is described as a strawberry smoothie mixed with yogurt, so I was expecting a consistency closer to a thick smoothie, but not aas thick as a Greek yogurt bowl. It was SOUP. Literally so watery, I wouldn't even drink it as a smoothie.
I also ordered the French toast, which was delicious, and I highly recommend it.

The manager noticed I wasn't eating the smoothie bowl and came to ask if it was okay. I told him it wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I intended to pay for it, as I had eaten some of it. He immediately said he'd take it off our bill, and if I wanted anything else to please let them know. He was understanding and kind about it, which I really appreciated. The young server came and apologized too, but I told her it wasn't her fault at all.

Both mornings my hubby had eggs, bacon and either toast or a fruit bowl. He said the eggs and bacon were good, but was disappointed that the fruit bowl was only pineapple and cantaloupe.

The second morning I ordered the Continental, which comes with yogurt, a muffin, and a fruit bowl. I had the banana nut muffin, which was warm and delicious. The yogurt, however, ws a tiny kids strawberry banana Yoplait that had so much sugar, being pre-diabetic, I couldn't eat on top of the muffin. Again, the fruit bowl was just pineapple and cantaloupe.

This is a very nice restaurant, with nice restaurant prices (to be fair, the continental breakfast is only $11), but I feel like the healthy breakfast options were made as cheaply as possible. As a nice restaurant, they could spring for real plain Greek yogurt, with fresh berries for a nice parfait. And for the continental, fresh mixed berries, and a adult sized greek yogurt.

The atmosphere is nice enough, though still rather hotel-plain. If the decor was a little more Durango-esque, that would be perfect.

Need to update their menu online. Waiter even mentioned that they’ve had several people remark that the online menu isn’t updated so it’s a problem that has been brought to their attention, but they haven’t done anything about it. Came for specifically for a steak and avocado fries. Which they don’t serve at all anymore. Tried a margarita anyways since we were already there, definitely not one of the best I’ve ever had. Other than getting to sit by the river it was a total bust.

Had two dinners and two breakfasts. The peach strawberry chia smoothie in a bowl sounded good, but stay away from it. The smothered burrito was decent, but three times higher than it should have been for what you get. The BBQ chick flatbread and Cobb salad with grilled salmon for dinner was very good. Dessert of NY cheesecake with strawberries could have had more strawberries. Supposed to be peaches but they lacked peach compote. Staff was excellent. Thomas especially. The manager was on spot assisting and was one of the best I've seen anywhere. Other staff, were also top notch. Kudos to wait staff.

Best part, view of the river 20 yards away. Delightful

Excellent food and service and a very old-timey atmosphere with almost every seat having used of the river with the large bay windows. Our server, Tony, was simply amazing. The cooks went out of their way to make my buffalo wings extra extra spicy. And they were just right with the amount of flavor and spice!

Staff was good. Food overpriced and basic. It’s not fun eating salad out of a metal bowl with a fork. Salad dressing sounded good but was really bland.

Thomas was our waiter and he was phenomenal! We happened to stop in on our way through town. If Thomas is your waiter you are in for a treat! He was super nice and always made sure our drinks were filled to the top. Plus the food was top notch! Amazingly cooked. 5 stars for sure!

The atmosphere feels like it has had its heyday. Our tabletop was scratched and scuffed and old, like from decades ago, and it was noticeable while eating. A placemat would have neutralized the unfortunate visual.The fish and chips were very tasty, and I liked the waffle fries. I ordered a side salad which was nicely done. The burger was presented beautifully, but was well done instead of medium.The service was excellent.Individuals scattered about doing paperwork was tacky.
