    Very accommodating staff with our party of seven that was an impromptu reservation. Zack did an excellent job from start to finish. He recommended the Gnudi for appetizers and the group loved them. I had Black Cod, very light, perfectly prepared paired with the broth, great tasting. Others at the table also said the steak/filet was very good, cooked perfectly. Ambiance was 10/10, can’t wait to come back and check out the patio once weather is just right.

    Really great experience. Food was great, prices were not egregious based on steakhouse norms, and the view is outstanding. Best South Bend-area restaurant I have eaten in.

    Had a wonderful dining experience while catching up with a good friend. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive and anticipated our needs without being intrusive. The ambiance was perfect—quiet enough to hold a relaxed conversation without straining to hear, which made the evening all the more enjoyable. Add to that a picturesque view of the river and a menu offering flavorful dishes, and you’ve got a spot that’s well worth visiting. Highly recommended for both the setting and the service.

    Service was fantastic. It was a nice setting nothing over the top impressive, might have been providing you have a window seat next to the river. I ordered the 6oz Wagyu ribeye sided with the brussel sprouts. The steak was to die for! Absolutely best piece of meat I have ever experienced. Unfortunately just two hours after my meal I was violently ill. First and only thing that I had to eat all day so there was really nothing else that could have been linked to. Towards the end of the following day I was back to normal. My girlfriend had none of the same issues from her meal or the appetizer that we shared. Had very high hopes prior to and after the meal but the rest of the night convinced me otherwise. Ruined the remainder of our weekend getaway

    This has become our go to restaurant when we want an upscale dining experience. Waitstaff is outstanding. Food is excellent and you can have a conversation without straining to hear. The view of the water is lovely. What more could you ask!
