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.

A place that’s trying to be more than it is. Great view but. Very limited menu and an even more limited and disappointing wine list. Doubt that we’ll be back any soon.

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!

I expected more from this upscale restaurant and though the food was very good the complete experience was lacking. A good server makes all the difference in the dining experience. I had a bit higher expectations for this place as the views of the river were heralded to be the best. Just not the case.

First I would like to thank the AGM Marcus Lawrence for telling us all about the new menu that started today. He was so very nice and kind. He even sat us at a table with a great view of the river. He made our visit so memorable and checked on us twice. Our server Mary was outstanding. This restaurant is really great inside and out. With the warm hospitality that was shown to us from beginning to end, we will be back for sure.

We went for brunch on the patio which was absolutely lovely. The service was excellent and our server was polite and professional. As far as the food is concerned, our hash browns were well seasoned and delicious, but they came to our table cold. The Dutch Baby we ordered was mediocre in taste and texture and the Bananas Foster French Toast was not french toast, but a small bread pudding. The French Toast was particularly disappointing because of the size. It was not a meal portion, but more like a small dessert. We would love to come back and try the Bananas Foster French Toast if the ever use a good quality, thick bread to make an actual french toast and make the size worth paying $18. The value for price ratio was definitely not satisfactory, but the restaurant is beautiful with an exceptional location.

45 minutes before we even had drinks order taken...and it wasn't busy Oysters were great but chef has no idea what it means to season or to call the fish blackened. It was just not even close to blackened. Fish was made well. Disappointed

The server didn’t do a bad job herself everything just took a long time. We waited close to 10 minutes before be greeted, put our drink order in right away, that also about about 10-12 minutes. The food was absolutely outstanding. There were enough open tables for a Saturday that a rsvp isn’t a bad idea but you can probably walk in.
