    As a celiac I was so happy to find somewhere local with a large gluten free menu. The food was delicious and it was fabulous to have so many choices. We will definitely be back again soon 😊😊

    Initial no one to greet! Service a little slow to start but then very good. Mixed Gourmet Mushroom superb Chicken Cajun special nice Busy so background noise moderate. Window seat - so nice outlook. River setting means you can enjoy nursery on your way out.
