My husband and I sat on the patio next to the trolley tracks over looking the river. The atmosphere was peaceful as we watched the runners pass by on the path next to the trolley tracks. I got the cucumber basil martini and the smashed avocado toast. The martini was a refreshing summer cocktail, and the avocado toast was delicious with its hint of spice. Overall, it was a wonderful Sunday experience and we will be back!

My only complaint is that we were bombarded by flies when our food came. We were sitting outside, but other restaurants seem to manage the fly issue for outdoor dining. Everything else was fantastic. The service, the food, the view of the river-outstanding. Would definitely go back.

Me and my wife thought the valet might have been intoxicated. He just all of the sudden stumbled and lost his balance into the light post as I was handing him the key. We almost left my wife did not want to leave the key with him. She was uneasy the whole dinner. Everything else was great!

The food was good overall. I had crab cakes which were very full of crabmeat and very good although a bit expensive. We also had oysters which were very fresh tasting and quite nice. The only disappointment was a drink I ordered called St. Germaine Sparkler. It just tasted like lemonade and was nothing special. I would advise that you stick with wine or beer.

I love the ambiance, decor, and location of this place, wish there were more restaurants right on the River like it! The food was so so good, it’s expensive but it was a birthday treat for us. The portion sizes were also really good, we had plenty of food and some to take home. I recommend it highly.

Sat on the patio. Nice view. Service was horrible. Got seated, 35 minutes later we finally get our drinks. 50 minutes later we got our appetizer. We didn't order a meal because we didn't want to wait another hour on food. Would not recommend this place. Way overpriced for what we received.

Service and food was very good. We were seated at a window which we were looking forward to the view only the blinds were closed! I don't know why we were asked when booking online if we were celebrating anything, which we were, our 50th wedding anniversery, because no one mentioned it! The air con got pretty cold as s the evening went on.

Amazing food, great service, beautiful locations and building, and did I mention the amazing food yet? Because wow! That smash burger is so good I’m literally having dreams about shoving it’s creamy juicy goodness down my gullet again while that perfectly cooked salmon and it’s crispy peppered skin makes me feel tingly all over. A++ will definitely be coming back!
