    First visit here since they reopened. Started in the bar area around 4:30, nice ambiance with 2 friendly and attentive bartenders. We were joined by another couple and eventually moved to the very nice dining room and sat by a window with a beautiful westerly view of the 9th green and parts of the river. There was a gentlemen playing piano the whole evening. Wasn’t very busy for a Friday night but did pick up later. Had a Terrific young waiter named Daniel who was also very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu offerings which were quite varied. We had a wonderful grilled black grouper dish served over mashed potatoes and grilled veggies and delicious braised short rib with a Parmesan gnocchi side. A very delightful experience had by all of us.

    I wrote a review in February that was pretty critical of the service and food. Today we returned for the first time for Easter and I am pleased to report that they dealt with my issues very well. Food and service were first rate. We will be returning.

    The food and service are always great. The menu is not huge but certainly covers the bases with choices for everyone. The drinks are very good and the wine list is extensive. A table by the windows at sunset is a perfect way to end the day.
    The NestResponded on April 14, 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you consistently enjoy the food, service, and drink selections. We take pride in offering a well-rounded menu and a thoughtfully curated wine list, so it means a lot to know it's appreciated. And we couldn’t agree more—sunset by the windows truly is a special experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
