We had a wonderful anniversary celebration dinner thanks to our server Patrick and his trainee (whose name we sadly didn’t catch but definitely was provided). The added touch of the card and complimentary 24k gold cake from the restaurant made it even more memorable. Patrick and his colleague were incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was perfect for our special night. Thank you all for a great evening. We’ll definitely be back!

This was TRULY the best experience at a restaurant that our group has ever had. Our waiter, Daniel, was an absolute star. He was fantastic- attentive but not pushy, kind, excellent at his job, and just all around the best. The food was unbelievable. We had a variety of seafood, steak, and drinks and it was ALL incredible. Kudos to the chef on all fronts. You also can’t beat the views of the Ohio River! Gorgeous ambiance- sit on the deck if you can! All around 5 stars!!
