there was a problem with their computer system which led to very slow service , and music blasting off and on. Food wasn’t great, just ok.

The ambience was lovely, a restaurant location overlooking the Delaware river will always get brownie points from me. Our server was attentive and served our food and beverages in a timely manner. The food was fine. We got fried calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious. For our main entree we got cheesesteaks with fries and the cheesesteaks were a little less desirable. Nothing offensively bad but the meat was too wet in my opinion and that soaked the bread to where it was falling apart as soon as we received our meals. Other than that it was fine nothing to write home about.

Great location on the water. Food average at best. Limited lunch menu. It is a hotel resturant. Berger was over cooked, as if the meat was precooked.

We went here for Mother’s Day right before the rush around 4:30ish. They seemed understaffed but honestly the food came out at a pretty good time and everything I had was pretty tasty from the crab avocado salad to the branzino to the steak. I would come again!
