Interesting atmosphere. Loud and dark inside with only 1 small candle at each table.I had the BLT which I would rate 2/10. Not good at all.. my partner had the bison burger and said it was great. Lots of cocktail options.They have a few outdoor tables that overlook the river

I just want to start this out by saying, I love Esquire so it still gets 5 stars. With that being said...my last visit was a miss. Atmosphere.. 10, Drinks..10, Staff.. 10, Food... 5. My issues was with the steak. Please Esquire, bring back your Ribeye or Filet. The 10 oz Bavette Steak was not the standard that I expect from y'all. I always tell everyone that I'd put y'alls Ribeye or Filet against any in the city. Now that you replaced it with this bavette steak, I wouldn't even recommend to eat it. Just save your money and order something else. It was tough and lacking in flavor. I didn't care for the chimichurri poured all over it either. It was also about the same price as your previous cuts but not half the quality. I'd rather pay a little more to actually get a great steak with my cocktails. Please.. for the love of God... take it off your menu!

Off the rip for a fairly middle shift on a Thursday at almost 6pm we were sat immediately which was nice, but apparently our server Jennifer doesn’t watch her section as she eventually showed up to the booth and apologized for the delay she stated “no one told her” that she had a table which was nearly 15 min and we were about to walk. PURE LAZINESS IMHO.We ordered drinks the old fashioneds, they were missing the cherry in each of our drinks, definitely not correct.Another poor choice in ordering the fried pickles, they are half sour pickle chips, sorta fried with a smattering of batter but mostly doughy and stuck together. We were starving after walking 10 miles so we still ate them, not our proudest moment. I ordered the BLT which comes with NOTHING, so I ordered fries. I will say the BlT was great and definitely the star of the show! Those fries, first of all if a patron asks you for salt don’t give your opinion, it wasn’t solicited and behavior like that cuts into your tip. As a former service industry person nothing like snippy little comments throughout your meal from your server to ruin a partially decent meal. Now back to the fries they were edible but not hot and not close to crispy and definitely NEEDED THE SALT. Also there were 2 sauces that came with the fries and one being ketchup, that other sauce should be banned. Whatever that sauce was, was just hands down vile, it was so bad I couldn’t even figure out what it was short of unnecessary. My husband liked his shrimp and grits; I took a bite, I’ve had better and I’ve definitely had worse. Then she proceeded to flirt and joke I guess with my husband, while I’m sure that works for some people, however after forcing your unsolicited opinion on me, serving us old fashions sans cherries and then trying to get a better tip, you failed to realize I’m the wallet. You’d have gotten a better tip if you had been a better sever. You didn’t come back and check on us, never mind offering to procure additional drinks. You made a large assumption based on him finishing his meal that it was wonderful and not that we just made the best of it. You didn’t even ask me what I thought, you didn’t ask me anything at all.I/we had to ask for everything.So my tl:dr make sure your servers name isn’t Jennifer or go elsewhere, as I bet you can do better

This place is pretty cool and it's definitely worth a visit because of how unique it is. Unfortunately, when we were there, the male bartenders were quite ornery and not friendly at all, not sure what was going on but they were being quite loud and rude which was very off-putting for how classy this bar makes itself up to be.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options other than French fries.Dietary restrictions: Not dietary restriction friendly.Parking: Hard to find parking.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.

Visiting from Vancouver Island, BC Canada! Really enjoyed our time here. Great food and excellent service from our waiter. Right on the Riverwalk…we really enjoyed watching the riverboats from the balcony while we ate dinner…and stuck up a conversation with fellow Canadians?
We stopped here for a late-night snack and drinks and had a wonderful time! Everything was fantastic.

Dirty table. Never cleaned while we were there. Had to order from bar as there was no table service (sign on table said, oder at bar). Boring atmosphere, just hype about a long bar with nothing to look at around it. Nothing on walls. Much better places to go.
