An overall terrible experience. The bartender was rude and awful. The overpriced food was overcooked and also not what I ordered. The atmosphere was drab just sad. Proceed at your own volition. I’ll never set foot in that place again.

It was an absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. The service was quick, staff friendly, food amazing, and cocktails phenomenal. The patio near the river is beautiful and atmosphere cozy. A must visit during a weekend trip or for a special occasion.

One of my favorite places to eat downtown. The food is top notch and the drinks are interesting and delicious. They are accommodating with my gluten-free needs and the service is always spot on. It is a good choice even for a family with youngish children but might not be the best choice if you have really little kids.

I had pleasure of enjoying a superb dinner here last night. From the moment I walked in it captures your attention to detail. The ambiance was perfect, entire stafff on point. The best was the food!

Great experience. This was my daughter's wedding reception. They did a stellar job. Great food, drinks, and service.

The food was okay but not for the price. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. When I had called for the reservation, I spoke to the host and she told me they would bring out dessert, that said happy birthday. Even our waiter mentioned how we were celebrating a birthday so it made it seem like they knew. Well at the end of it, our waiter asked if we wanted dessert.. I expected them to just bring out the birthday dessert. Not ask, if we would like dessert. Why? Because it was supposed to be a surprise obviously. They didn't bring it out. I also wasn't going to go inside and ask about it, that's doing too much when I was told at the end they would just bring it out. overall everything went fine just was bummed out about the birthday dessert for my boyfriend.

Aesthetically there but the when I spoke with the owner, I overheard him coming off with racist jokes on the phone. That wasn’t pleasing to have heard.

This place really sucked, -food and service-kinda ruined our family lunch, and we had to go somewhere else to get more food afterwards. The waiter took almost 20 minutes to even acknowledge us and bring us water- those waters were never refilled the entire time we were dining. My mother was served a “nectarine” salad that comprised of 4 pieces of uncut butter lettuce, 1 or 2 paper-thin slices of nectarine, and hardly any dressing (for $16!!) She asked the server, who ended up being the manager, for a few more slices of nectarine and she was immediately rude and dismissive. I then tried to let another server know we were unhappy with the plate and she said she’d speak to the manager but she never returned and nothing came of that. Nothing was comped or resolved, no one seemed to care at all. We are literally the last people to complain and I’ve never left a review, good or bad, for any restaurant, but I’m just so mad that our family get together was ruined and that we had to spend $100 for bad food and bad service.

Our server was friendly but when the wine we chose wasn't in stock, redoing the wine list apparently, it took a while for her to get back to us to offer another option and then more time when what she suggested wasn't the correct replacement. We ordered three dinners for two, a salad course, a flatbread course and a main course. We expected to get each part separately, like a normal restaurant meal, nope, received them all at once. Told “that's how it works”. So, our main dish got cold while we ate our salad and the flatbread. Again, the food was good but it would have better hot. Our seventh person, who is gluten sensitive, ordered the chicken piccata and asked if she could get it without breading. She was told that it wasn't possible, they weren't clear whether it was prebreaded or prefloured but weren't very helpful.

Really enjoyed our time here. The deck had a great view of the river and fun ambiance. The service was fantastic, better then I have had in a long time. The food was delicious. Will absolutely be back!

We were seated quickly on the patio as requested. The menu had a nice variety of light meals and full entrees to choose from. Our dinners were prepared well and arrived hot. Sitting on the patio with a view of the Riverwalk and the river was very pleasant and the noise level outside was ;es than inside the restaurant. I'd eat here again if in the area.

Dinner was exceptional. Service was fantastic. We were seated right away as we had a reservation. Only two tiny complaints with regard to temperature (warm outside and just as warm inside ) and promptness of beverage service (the second glass of wine ordered to have with my meal arrived when I was halfway through it) . Other than that. A great experience overall.

First time and it was great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We were seated right away and ordered drinks. Everything was delicious from the food to the wide variety of drink options. The specials sounded delicious and we did get one of them...the filet. The dessert options were great too. We will definitely be back again.

Such a nice touch: when I made the reservation I noted that the reason for dining out was: celebration. When we arrived we found 2 glasses of champagne and a note card with signatures of the staff congratulating us on our table!!! Now I probably gave away the secret/surprise...? I find the prices nowadays ridiculous: a peach salad $16...a few leaves of lettuce, a thinly sliced peach and a nice creamy sauce - I can make that at home for under $5...the service was excellent and personable and the patio and view of the river great. A nice albeit expensive dinner.
