The Pump House is a multi-level, riverfront restaurant featuring two bars, including a rooftop bar, all with sweeping views of the beautiful Catawba river. Situated in the new Riverwalk development, the Pump House is an upscale, gourmet restaurant with a casual but elegant atmosphere. It was at one time an actual pump house which was used by an acetate plant. We have repurposed the building to create a one-of-a-kind restaurant featuring gourmet, southern-inspired cuisine, a hand-picked wine list, and craft cocktails. We hope to serve you soon!

Restaurant was very loud for such a small, intimate space with one party behind us literally at shouting volume. Also, for the price, I feel like a dress code of some kind would have been appropriate. Not talking black tie, but somewhere between that and swimming pool attire would have been nice. We ordered the calamari, which was very good. When opening our bottle of wine, the waitress was clearly struggling and made a bit of a mess, spraying bits of wax seal and dribbling a fair amount of wine all over the table when she popped the cork and poured the wine, which was a shame because it was a reasonably expensive bottle. The waitress serving us neglected to bring us our cornbread until right before the mains arrived (not a big deal, though bread plates would have been appreciated as they had been taken after our appetizer and weren’t replaced). I had the lamb shank, which was very tasty if a bit dry, my partner’s filet was undercooked (edible, just rare instead of the medium she ordered) and looked like the dish had been pretty roughly handled, as there was stuff smeared all over the plate (table next to us also had the filet for plating comparison. Again, not a huge deal, but for a $45 steak…). We also ordered the truffle fries, which were good (if a bit soft, personal preference). In general got the sense that the food sat or a bit before being brought out. Odd thing was that we were still in the middle of eating our fries when the waitress came over and boxed them up without asking if we were finished. Given that we were still about an hour from closing time with no one waiting for seat and hadn’t made an issue of any of the misfires that night, struck us as a bit rude. We ended with the espresso martini and Black Forest old fashioned, both of which were good. It wasn’t a bad meal, but, given what we ordered, an almost $300 bill (including tip) requires a certain quality level for the food, service, and atmosphere that just wasn’t there.

Sat in the roof top bar. View is lovely. There was live music which was not over powering or distracting. Staff is very friendly and food is always good. The pomme frites were HUGE and delicious.

Curtis was fantastic. Could not have had better service. He made our visit so enjoyable. Food was good but I will order something different next time. Salmon was not cooked well. Did not like the Strawberry sauce. Was surprised to see the tails on the shrimp and grits. Have never had that before.

The entire experience at the Pump House was great!We were seated on the 5th floor by the window looking over the Catawba River. We enjoyed watching the kayakers, paddle boarders and people floating down the river. Our server Travis he was excellent. Very attentive. The food was great!! Such a great place to eat such an enjoyable experience. Can't wait to go back

I love going to the Pump House for lunch. We always enjoy sitting outside so we can watch the kayakers and tubers going down the river. The food is excellent. My only complaint is the server did not give me a paper check, he just told me the amount and stood there until I gave him the cash. I like to see an itemization, not just a verbal. It seemed like we were being charged more than it should have been. This is the first time we were not given a check.

The hostess was extremely nice and professional. We came for a 1:30 reservation and the restaurant was not very busy. Our waitress was not very attentive at all. One of our meals had a hair in it that looked like a dog hair. The hostess happened to be walking by and I showed her. She was very apologetic and handled it very well. The waitress came over very defensive and said “I heard something’s wrong??” In a rude tone. The manger was very nice and took the meal off of the bill. Hair gets in food, that understandable. The waitress was clearly not trained to handle it well at all. In addition to the hair, we had to order basically our fourth choice meal because the fryer wasn’t working and they were out of a couple of dishes. We won’t be back. It’s pretty to look over the river, but maybe just order dessert?

Always a great meal when we dine here. This time service was a bit slow, especially since the place was not at capacity but this did not detract from our overall experience. All dishes ordered were delicious and the wine recommendation was well received. Only real negative was that fans on outside deck were not strong enough to cool off very much but The Pump House cannot be held accountable for extreme temperatures.

We ate out on the patio. The fans above the first table we were seated at were not working and it was pretty uncomfortable. But our server, Curtis (who was amazing, by the way!), moved us to a table under a working fan and it made the world of difference. The food was awesome as always and Curtis was a delight!

The staff was very friendly but the food was just alright. What I would expect from Chili's but at Uptown prices. The view is a good one but the proximity to a busy road made traffic noise the dominant aural ambiance from the porch. Stylish interior. Would not go again except for perhaps happy hour.

I have eaten brunch and lunch there many times. I thought the prices at night were very high. The food was very good - but not worth the difference in price from the lunch menu. The service was excellent, as always. I would recommend The Pump House but recommend to a friend to eat either brunch or lunch, not dinner.
