    Excellent service and solid food as usual. Added bonus of outdoor seating near the river. Always a great place to meet out-of-town colleagues!

    We came for my wife’s birthday. The staff knew about the event and tested us first class. Service was amazing. They gave us a complimentary desert which happened to be my wife’s favorite. The manger stopped by the table to greet us. Overall a wonderful evening. Would definitely go back.
