   We had the best anniversary dinner here! Food was amazing from beginning to end, our server Izzy was unbelievable!! The remodel is impressive river views from everywhere. We had the crab dip and pork belly for appetizers the sea bass and pork chop for dinner and then he surprised us with dessert!! Perfect experience highly recommended!!

   The server forgot our drinks for over 20 minutes and had to be reminded. The food for the price was tasteless without any flavor. The appetizers that were supposed to be hot coming out were lukewarm at best. Had very hopes for this restaurant and was greatly disappointed.

   Atmosphere and lighting created a warm peaceful environment. Our waiter was pleasant, prompt, attentive and kind. Our food was served hot, our glasses kept full. The flavors, and seasoning of the food was delicious. Though, the calamari was a bit rubbery and the double pork chop a bit dry. We enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal and will coma again. Hopefully they will put duck back on the menu.

   We were there for Thanksgiving. My husband had the traditional turkey, stuffing etc., but I tried the scallops with parsnip puree, and it was delicious! Out server, Ellex was sweet and knowledgeable. It was our first time there and she was very helpful with menu questions. They have a side selection of bottled wines. I can't wait to go back in the summer when we can sit outside with a view of the river.

   Had high expectations but it was a very average meal Service people seemed eager to have us leave and despite an interesting menu , the carrot soup and both salads were not that good Was in town to take my brother out for his 70th bday and the setting looked great Because of its nice setting on the river I will go back and hopefully the food will be better otherwise it will be nice spot for a drink

   My wife and I had requested a romantic table but were seated in the middle of the room beside a large, loud table with children, despite there being several open booths. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, but it was made with fatty chicken thigh, and with the mayo and fennel slaw, it was so oily that it was hard to eat. After just one bite, I left most of my $20 plate untouched. The server noticed and asked if everything was okay; I explained that I couldn’t eat it, and while she offered something else, it wasn’t clear to me if that meant an additional purchase. So, my plate wasn’t comped and went to waste. While I’d expect a restaurant to comp a meal that couldn’t be eaten, that didn’t happen here, and we won’t be back. The crab dip and risotto were excellent, but the sea bass was under-seasoned. Overall, this place feels overpriced, and we don’t plan to return.

    Nice evening, large Party in conference area quite loud, would have helped the dining area if doors had been kept closed
