First time dining here, it was absolutely beautiful! We sat on the patio. We had a wonderful service. The food was very good. I would hands-down recommend this place to anyone. Between the river and the sailboats and just a beautiful patio it was lovey. I went with a group of six. We all had the burger and the fish fry and also the appetizer sourdough bread.
