   We always have a great meal. Relaxed and unrushed.

   The brunch menu had a reasonable number of choices, without being overwhelming. Our food was excellent, and the cheesecake was outstanding. The homemade sangria was a nice touch. The service was also excellent; friendly, attentive and with good timing. It was nice to be able to sit and look out over the river too. The restaurant is attached to the main hotel lobby, but the ambience is nice and you can carry on a conversation without difficulty. Definitely one of the standouts in town.

   Beautiful decor (especially with the Christmas decorations). Seated immediately - we had reserved a table for an early dinner and were the only guests at that time. Waiter was very personable and helpful regarding menu items. We ordered 2 drinks and were very disappointed: Not a lot of bang for your bucks, so to speak. Way too pricey for what we received. Minuscule amounts compared to what other fine dining establishments serve. Food was excellent, however. Ahi tuna, scallops, and side of lobster mac & cheese. All delicious and expertly plated. Dessert was turtle cheesecake and a large portion at that! Scrumptious! All in all, a pleasant experience. We do believe improvements in alcoholic beverages/cocktails are needed. One other suggestion is to serve some sort of bread (rolls, breadsticks, assorted muffins, mini baguettes, etc.), the amount commensurate to # of guests. It’s a welcoming touch that most diners expect. Other than that, we enjoyed our dinner and time spent!

    Great place. Wonderful service. Great food. I will absolutely eat here again. I would say that the food description is hard to understand. They don’t have tons of gluten free but there is plenty of choices.
