Great restaurant I would happily go back to. General thoughts first, and details below

The food was very good but not exceptional, the service was absolutely exceptional, and the atmosphere was very nice with a view of the river out the huge glass windows by the bar + dining area.

Regarding the food, the sauces in particular were amazing (marinara was 10/10), the starters and extras we got were delicious. Fried zucchini and stuffed peppers were both a hit with everybody who tried them. The entrees didn't blow us away, but every member of our party considered their meal to be beyond satisfactory and agreed they would be happy to come back, and that's pretty rare. Some portion sizes were on the smaller side, but it would be criminal not to split starters here anyway. I had the Reubin and would rate it 8.5/10. The sides were generally above average but I'd say the cole slaw was the worst thing anyone got - it was just ok. I can't comment on the alcohol selection but they have coke products.

Server was fantastic, I wish I remembered his name but he was a distinctive bearded gentleman with tattoos. He was working the bar for a large party as well as serving us, took the time to discuss what menu items he enjoyed and offered off-menu adjustments that he felt improved the dish. He was very polite, everybody loved him and I personally found his style of service to be ideal.

Atmosphere-wise, the dining area seemed nice and as I mentioned it has a beautiful view of water out the windows. No obnoxious music was playing. But when we arrived most of the lights were off and the majority of the dining area seemed unavailable to use - it wasn't a problem for us and seemed like a fluke. I am not familiar enough to know what the dining area will usually be like, it seemed they may often have live music from the way it was laid out.

Always a great time when we come here to see our favorite band. Food is great. Just wish had a bigger menu and didn't have to pay a cover fee or atleast let reserve a seat with the cover fee.

Good atmosphere expectully summer time. Live music(70s 80s music) and dance floor with the river view. Food and drink are not so much. Just a small section of the bar food.

Our waiter Nick was awesome! It was a super bust Saturday night but he was staying attentive to our drink needs! The food was pretty good, but the portions need to better match the price. Great atmosphere and bands!
