    The food was excellent and very tasty, but the service and pacing was very slow to the point we missed our show. We allowed almost two hours for dinner.

    We dined outside with a lovely view of the Sacramento River. We have dined here before and the food is consistently good, but not noteworthy. It could be that we had a waitress still learning her craft or that they were short staffed to account for the subpar service.

    The only issue we had was at the end of our dinner, we ordered desert that took nearly another 40 min to be served to us which was removed from the final bill. Other than that, we would most definitely recommend in future.

    Food and location is great. Very nice boat. Bartender was overwhelmed, waiter was complaining about how over worked he was. Over nine times I heard him tell us or other people how he’s “so overwhelmed”. Dinner was almost $300, I don’t need to hear about the waiters stress. I came here because I wanna unwind.

    It was a birthday celebration for a very special girl. I wanted the evening to be magic for her, she means so much to me and we are both so happy with our choice of restaurants.
