"We were sat at a wonderful table overlooking the river. We liked how many local/west coast wines were available on the list. Our server was very friendly and took the time to educate us on the menu and the choices. The food was outstanding and the presentation was beautiful."

"While the restaurant is conveniently located to where I live, I was underwhelmed by the food. I was served an oversalted lukewarm torta at brunch. I think the restaurant is trying a bit too hard and would prefer a solid meal with unfussy ingredients than the italian spin on classics, which they are trying to achieve."

"I loved the atmosphere and the service. The food was good but not great. The server kept going on about how the arugula on my dish. Not sure why. It was arugula and kind of over powering. Next time I'll try the french toast, no greens there."

"Our server Sarah was attentive and friendly. The food was good (halibut and steak) but probably not memorable enough to repeat. Chocolate tart was tasty but the lemon crepe dessert was disappointingly more creamy than lemony. They did not have any of the energy drinks (Red Bull, Monster, etc.) that my friend wanted to order as part of a mixed drink."

"The location is great, the staff are friendly and the food was great. Right along a quiet section of the Willamette river. A small biking/hiking path right in front lets you enjoy both river and people views without it seeming as touristy as other spots closer to downtown. For our dinner we shared between 2 people; 1 starter, 1 primi,2 secondi and 1 dessert. All amazing! We actually ended up taking leftovers home as well as the dessert for later. A bit on the pricier side however.It really is best if you share the plates instead of everybody getting their own. It cuts down on the bill without leaving you hungry for more. The wine list was the only disappointment. Small, unfocused and boring."
