The food and service were amazing. I highly recommend. My only issue was the noise - there were several large parties and crying babies. I know, I'm being grumpy, but the noise was bothering my exceptional culinary experience.

We had a large party with several children, food allergies, and a few vegetarians/vegans. Everyone was able to find a meal to enjoy. Zion was a pleasure and Frances was great with the kids!

Great place to try when you're visiting the River Walk. The food was delicious and definitely worth it. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the meal. The servers were moving quickly and appeared to be handling too many tables, which made it difficult for them to check in or see if we needed anything. Overall, the food was great, but the service could be improved.
