    3rd time I’ve eaten here in the past year. Service slow and low performing. Pattern of poor ingredients and execution. Last nite my seafood dish was fishy. Mashed potato bed became fishy as well. Returned the dish. Appreciate they only charged me for the wine. I’ve never sent food back but after multiple visits I’ve grown weary and didn’t want to be sickened. Their breakfast menu has been positive. Dinner not so much.

    Very good food, nice atmosphere, we intend to go back when it’s warmer so we can sit on the patio next to the river. Only hitch—the golfer(?) senior group sitting next to us, who treated this nice expensive restaurant like it was a bar, getting up to grab his late seated friend a menu, calling out to another couple, “Party in your room tonight!” laughing very loud (with an equally loud response). It ruined the evening a little bit.

    Currents was excellent! We went on Valentine's Day and really enjoyed ourselves. We were really impressed by how good the veggies were. We especially loved the cauliflower appetizer. Everything was delicious. The service was good despite how busy they were due to the holiday. We will definitely be returning soon!

    The server was great. My wife couldn’t see the river, so they moved us. Appetizers were fantastic! My wife had the fillet and she loved it. I had the wild boar and I think who’s better than the fillet. They have really stepped up their menu. Plan to spend a lot of time perusing

    We had a truly wonderful experience for my birthday this past weekend! Autumn was an exceptional server, our food was perfect, and we felt we had a great evening overall. The duck was tender and perfect, the mashed potatoes were amazing and the bet salad was fresh and delicious. We had the warm chocolate chip cookie for dessert which was so fun and perfect for a birthday! Great sparkling wines and a beautiful atmosphere and again, excellent service! This is oir locals date night spot and we will of course be back!

    We had an amazing dinner, great service and the food was delicious. The manager or owner greeted us at the door and was so kind and welcoming, and set such a great tone for the meal. Our hostess was super nice, our waiter was great and the food was awesome. We had the prime rib from the pri fixe menu and it was incredible. We will be back for regular date nights!!

    The fondue was excellent - the meat cooked just to our liking . The steelhead was delicious as well as the corn ensemble with it. My husband said his halibut didn’t seem fresh and he would not order it again but the mashed potatoes were very good. They were very attentive to our dog and brought out a dog water right away and made him a complimentary chicken breast. He was very well behaved.

    We were seated at a table with an extremely visible dirty tablecloth. Our entrees, except for the piece of steelhead, were cold. The Cajun turkey had zero Cajun spice. Only one of the desserts, which took a very long time to arrive, was good. The bill also took a very long time to be delivered.

    we have gone to Currents for the holiday dinner for several years now and enjoyed ourselves but the one thing about past dinners was how we were rushed through our dinner one time the server actually took my salad before i was done to make room for the main course - this year was much better - instead of being in and out in less than an hour the dinner pace had slowed down - plenty of time between courses and just overall much more relaxing - never felt like we were rushed - the service was great as was the food- i ordered the turkey breast plate and it was well prepared and delicious- if i had one thing to comment on - i just missed the stuffing that just always goes with the turkey(i guess i'm just a traditionalist)! otherwise just a very nice way to spend the holiday!!!

    Went for breakfast and food was very good as usual. Service was running slow, possibly due to staff shortage or training? It took 30 minutes to get the drinks we ordered. Otherwise, it’s a nice setting with the river running by outside the glass doors/windows.

    The food was fine, nothing to write home about. Service was so bad! It was beyond slow! Once we received our food we never saw our server until I had to go hunt him down for the check. Not a single plate was bussed off of our table prior to us leaving. No refills were offered on coffee, we had to go find him for that as well. Menus weren't picked up after the order was taken. It was just basic service steps that just weren't happening. I finally went up to go get a manager to have her run my credit card so I can get to work and instead of just taking care of it like a manager should, she goes oh let me find your server and then just followed me back to the table. It was a very strange experience. I used to love going to Currents but I probably won't go there again unless it's just for a drink.
