    The food was mediocre. Ordered two burgers medium, and they both were well done. The shrimp Louie didn't have much flavor; the dressing tasted watered down. The French 75 was too limey, and the Paloma wasn't very good either. The service was very slow also, maybe they were short staffed for Labor Day weekend.

    We just had salads/appetizers/beers. The food and drinks were okay but nothing spectacular. It’s an old outdated docked boat/restaurant. The full dinner meals another party had ordered looked good but no idea how they tasted.

    Reservation stated that valet parking was available to dining guest. Valet parking attendant said it was only for hotel guests. We had to park in garage and it was a flat rate. We did not even receive validated parking. Once we got to the restaurant, the rest of the evening was enjoyable.

    One of the entrees We ordered was a grilled fish and it was burnt pretty bad . It was black on each side and tasted bitter too . Did not finish the plate at all . We ordered some appetizers, those weren’t bad . Drinks were not good either . Won’t be coming back there again . Although the view on the river is pretty but that’s about it

    We were seated right away in the dinning room for our dinner reservations which might not have really needed. Waiter & staff were slow and tried to get the bar food menu multiple times for few who looked at menus on line who were in the party. The food looked tasty but only some orders were prepared properly! Nice atmosphere and generally quiet in dinning room for conversation since the bar area upstairs was very noisy. Not quite like I remembered from my past lunch visits for a meal bringing out of town guests to a unique Old Sacramento restaurant.

    Overall a nice experience. Beautiful boat! I didn't realize it was brunch menu only when I made the reervations, as I looked at the lunch menu, but we pivoted & enjoyed our food. Our waitress wasn't too thrilled we were sharing a plate and when we wanted to move to another table that was by the window that became available. My mimosa came out waaaay before my friends Irish coffee, I prefer when drinks come out at the same time. I would go back but after 2:00 on a Sunday for the lunch menu. I also clicked on the reservation that it was for my friends birthday but there was no acknowledgement of this. Not sure why they asked
