This place was great! The location is right off the river and has a nice outdoor seating area. Our party was visiting for a business training and we wanted to a spot that really highlighted the city. Not only was the location perfect for sightseeing in the city, the setting by the river made it an ideal place to spend time with friends, and the food was delicious! Additionally, the service was excellent and the servers were very helpful and made the experience really enjoyable. We were talking about and recommending River Roast throughout the business trip, and it was mainly because we were so impressed by the service.
