The attention is really good, the people are nice and friendly. The dinner area has a completely private atmosphere and it's absolutely beautiful. And the food is delicious!😋

We have been coming to this restaurant for at least 7 or 8 years. It has recently gotten so much more expensive, and the food is not worth the money they are asking. A build-your-own burger racked up $30, BLT with sweet potato fries for $20, small sized chicken Caesar salad for $20...and it wasn't that good. We had a great time watching football with our friends, and our server was kind. The manager didn't provide any help with the overcharging of the burger, just kind of shrugged his shoulders. (Btw - a James River Burger is $14, so whatever you do, don't build your own with the special toppings you prefer.) Sadly, we will not be going back. We never complain because we've worked in the restaurant business. The food, value, and lack of help, or even wanting to help, has turned us away for good. We'll be enjoying more meals at Amici's, the new Mexican restaurant, and The Batteau down the street!

Great bar and restaurant. I had the pulled pork lunch plate and really enjoyed it - generous portion! Girlfriend had a burger and said it was very good. Service was great, too.

Their Thanksgiving meal was very good, and the price was worth all the food you got. I was able to get three meals out of it. Our server was very friendly and always made sure we had what we needed

Initially thought it was over priced, but once our food arrived it was absolutely worth it! Done perfectly as ordered, delicious, and the amount was worth every penny.

Got chicken Alfredo. It was watery and taste less. My husband's scallops were dry. Imagine a dinner with out bread or salad.
