A truly memorable dining experience. Worth every penny and then some.“

“I ordered the BBQ platter. I am a foodie person and always looking for quality food. 2nd time visiting. The meats was good and seasoned. The macaroni & cheese was very dried tasted as if it's been reheated instead of fresh. Greens was good. I will not be getting macaroni anymore. 😒“

“We really enjoyed the meal and our server. The dining room is very nice. However, I rated them down one star because the bar is open to the dining room. There was a very loud customer at the bar whose loud talk and braying laugh made a conversation in the dining room almost impossible at times.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“Great drinks, great food, great service. Fantastic river views from patio. But for the LOVE OF GOD, invest in some tabletop fly swatter things. Our dinner was ruined by the flies. Those things cost about $5 on Amazon. Buy them. Or come up with something else. I’ve eaten at the state fair and had less issues with flies“
