Good was delicious and the service was average. It’s not a great place for children, much more of a spot for friends to gather and take in the river activity.

The waiter asked us if we wanted truffle oil on our Parmesan fries. We said sure but we didn’t realize it would be a nine dollar additional charge on our bill. The waiter could’ve at least mentioned there was an additional charge. Also there’s a surcharge for sitting on the patio that doesn't get credited to the bill. Great place, but these two things bothered me.

Perfect spot. Reserve a patio table for a view of the river. Charred pepperoni pizza with hot honey with a Mediterranean salad was delicious.

Had lunch there for my wife’s birthday. They made a personalized menu for us wishing her Happy Birthday. Waiter provided us with exceptional service and great recommendations. The ambiance and atmosphere were perfect for a riverside restaurant.

Our reservation was at 8:00. Hostess said they were running 30 mins behind. We paid for a round of drinks to kill time. When we checked in around 8:45 and they said we were next up. We finally sat down a little before 9:00. The restaurant agreed to pay for our first round of drinks (which is appreciated!) but then our server forgot to enter the drinks. Our drinks finally came after our first round of food around 9:15. Great food, just not a great night in terms of service and time. We had booked this resveration nearly a month in advance.

There was a clear lack of communication from the staff, we were seated more than 30 minutes after our reservation time, and the service overall was disappointing
