The view was nice and our server, Amariyah, was very good, but the food was definitely lacking especially for the prices. We had to send the lobster bisque back for being cold, and even when the new bowls came out, they weren't steaming hot as soup should be. The entrees were “ok”, but again, not hot and very limited on flavor other than salty. Was definitely expecting better. Overall: disappointed.

As always, Cavanaugh's was outstanding. The onion soup was fabulous. The prime rib was served perfectly.

The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the food was great! The house was very helpful in finding a great seating area for us to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks again

Service and view and restaurant was awesome steak not that good to me had some type of seasoning on it I didn't care for but our waitress was very good so it was t to bad

Doug

The service was prompt and efficient. I had salmon which was very good and my wife has shrimp and linguine and she was also pleased with the flavor.

We had a good overall experience . We don't usually frequent what I would call higher end food establishments because the value and experience don't match the higher costs of the dining. Cavanaghs exceeded our expectations from the crab cakes, blacked Neptune, scallops, and our anniversary dessert. Best crab cakes we've had Filet was cooked perfect Service was great We will return

Excellent food and service! We've been dining here for nearly 25 years and it never disappoints.

Everything we ate (salads, sides, and entrees) was really really good. And the service was great too! Very nice evening!

Celebrated our anniversary on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was perfect, not too loud. The server was professional and friendly and the timing of items was perfect. We both enjoyed the French onion soup, Caesar salad and the prime rib. Fantastic meal from beginning to end! They surprised us with a complementary dessert to enjoy with our coffee and it was delicious! Absolutely the best meal we have had in a decade!

Amazing place to have a nice dinner. Prime rib is excellent and steaks were as well. Very calming atmosphere with a view of the river. Only downside for us was they don't have a menu for kids and we had a six year old with us. So from now on, it will be adults only for us!

My family had a wonderful meal this evening. We came to eat big $ with Alaskan king crab legs, steaks, salads, martinis plus a bottle of wine celebrating a milestone birthday! Reservations were made 2 weeks in advance for a river view table and had mentioned this was for a 65th birthday celebration. Everything was perfect...the river table view, ambience, Everything was going very well until a much larger group was seated beside us. Our waiter was wonderful at first, but he dumped us to spend more time with the larger group. This table was served first and waiter brought a special birthday dessert to patron at larger table. Envy!! Yes, I was a little jealous as I had made our reservations in advance, called the night before to confirm and the person told me she knew it was for a 65th birthday. Upon our arrival I suppose I expected more like a..."hello, happy birthday"! No, he must have wanted a much bigger tip even though we always tip 20-25%. The waiter was truly into the other larger table. Even the service we received back in February was far better with a wonderful and personable waitress with dark brown hair. We saw her this evening. Will ask for her next time as she has huge personality and goes above and beyond to make your experience one you will never forget. The waiter tonight lacked personality and was not attentive. On the flip side, our meal was amazing. Best king crab legs ever! XOXO

My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here last night. Not only was the food amazing, and in large portions (so you're definitely getting your money's worth), but this was the best service we have ever had. When we asked for to-go boxes for our leftovers, he actually boxed everything up for us, and got a separate container for each item so none of the food would mix, he did this without being asked. Important to note that when you order sides, they are not included in most of the meals and may seem expensive but each side comes with enough to honestly feed 4 people. We ordered 3 sides, shared all of them, and still had a lot leftover. The bread they bring you at the beginning of the meal is excellent, it comes with sea-salted butter and spreadable garlic cloves. We ordered crab cakes as an appetizer and it was possibly the best crab cakes we have had anywhere. He ordered the shrimp linguine, I ordered the seared salmon, and for sides we ordered asparagus, lobster mac and cheese, and truffle potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly! We also ordered a lemon drop martini and a pomegranate martini and they were both good but we both liked the lemon drop one more. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate torte. My only note here was that since it was cold and more like a pie than a cake, it should have come with a knife to cut it without mashing it since all of our plates and utensils had already been cleared from the table. We will definitely be back for date night again.

the food was absolutely delicious and our server, sergei (sp?), was spectacular! i was sad to realize i had left my remaining burrata at the restaurant as it would have made a great snack before bed, lol. the blackened filet was absolutely wonderful and the crabcakes were awesome. highly recommend! sorry - for some reason it's not allowing me to add photos.
