    After being a bit disappointed at another restaurant that we were used to having high-quality. This was a welcome change in a new experience that we will be returning to town again.

    This place is the best. From the views of the river and the ambience inside, 10/10. Had a great time celebrating my birthday here. They even printed special menus wishing me a happy birthday.

    We had a great time with our family. Our server was great. She went above and beyond. We also enjoyed the food. Had two pizzas, Mediterranean salad and salmon. We also did the hot chocolate special, which the kids loved.
