    As we entered, we were greeted by name at the door. The host was very agreeable and wanted to make sure that we had a table that was appropriate for us. The waitress thing came to our table and was very charming and knowledgeable. The only potential negative was the time. It took from ordering until we received our cocktails. It was a little bit longer than I would’ve anticipated. The food was excellent and very timely. The waitress gave us excellent direction on items that we might enjoy. Overall, it was a an outstanding experience. My husband had three oysters on the half shell and regretted not having ordered six. I had the fried calamari and a salad with Dungeness crab added. Both of those items were excellent as well.

    Probably the best place to have a great lunch in Astoria, wonderful view of river activity and the food is great. Go there on Sunday and add a trip to the Sunday market, you will have a good time....

    We were surprised by how good the food is. We split the Salmon special and the chef outdid himself! Waitress was perfect. Would go again.

    Had very enjoyable dinner here. Gave us the seating choice we requested in our reservation. Staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Will go again next time we are in Astoria.

    Ordered rhe salmon well done and it came raw in the middle. Aldo asked for no pickled onions and it came with it. Waitress said another server took our salmon but that is just a terrible excuse that reflects poorly on the management. We love this place and come frequently but were disappointed this time. They did discount the dinner but this was our anniversary and dinner kind of ruined it.

    Food was wonderful, but restaurant is more. The spider webs on outside of windows can disturb your beautiful view. The dirty bathroom makes you concern on the cleanliness of the whole place. The staff was full but to be five star restaurant you need everyone alert hospitality of their guest.
