The pizza and bourbon chicken were delicious! Beautiful view of the water and heated patio. Jim was an awesome server!

Server could have been more attentive considering we were there when the restaurant wasn't that busy. Table next to ours was seated after us but served their meals first. Drinks took awhile to be served. We have been there many times in the past. Really do like the place but this was not a good visit.

I came in last weekend for a date and sat on the enclosed patio. We did end up moving to a different table because the heater was very hot to sit under.I had the thin mints martini. The first wasn’t as strong as the second one. We had potato skins as an appetizer, they were good.I had the bourbon salmon for my main course over “rice pilaf”. It was very average. My date had the fried cod. He said it was good.Overall it’s a great location but I wouldn’t eat the salmon again.

The grilled chicken salad was on point....plus they had Guinness on draft and Buffalo Trace bourbon on the shelf. I'll be back!

Love this place especially in the summer, when you can sit by the Chagrin River. Their seafood is awesome especially the perch!

Very underwhelmed. I was so excited for this place. Maybe dine in is the way to go. I ordered the half slab rib dinner, it came with fries, coleslaw and a roll. Presentation is not exciting. Hardly any sauce on my ribs and no extra sauce on the side. My fries were pretty good but they're fries. Coleslaw was quite warm. Not sure if that's the norm for this place. I ate it anyway, I'll know if I get sick tomorrow whether or not it should have been cool. The atmosphere for pickup sucked. You walk into a crowd of people. Some waiting on tables others picking up food, others drunk and screaming in your ear about paying their tab. It's definitely a bar vibe at 7 pm on a Friday. Service was meh. The girls at the register don't greet customers in the order they arrive. They take care of the regulars first. Very fake friendly vibe. The portion size on my coleslaw was also ridiculous. It's in a jello shot cup. $30 after tip and I feel just as underwhelmed as I do at most food establishments post covid. I was hoping I found a hidden treasure but I was mistaken. Its highly unlikely that ill be coming back. But if I did i really wanted to try the bourbon chicken and I'd dine in for sure during the day. Final verdict: not the worst experience I've had but not a positive experience either. It's a meh.Vegetarian options: The only vegetarian options they offer are one or two of their salads, their sides which aren't many and the Mac n cheese if you omitt the chicken tenders. Not vegetarian friendly.Parking: Limited number of spaces in a small lot. Poorly lit parking lot at night.Kid-friendliness: They offered a couple with a newborn a highchair or sling and seemed to be accommodating to them. There is no kids menu though. They have burgers at $15+, a chicken tender appetizer for $11 which is tenders only and a tenders and white Mac n cheese for around $13 and the rest is more adult oriented. It's a bar scene in the evening as well. Loud blasting music and drunk people yelling over each other.

Food is always great here, and when it gets warm out, they have the best patio around. Top notch lobster bisque as well!
