The customer service and the food were both outstanding! We had the 917 burger, the salad, and the octopus, and everything was absolutely delicious. The bread and butter were also a delightful touch. To top it off, the view of the cars was a fantastic addition, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

My husband and I had a memorable dinner last night. Service was impeccable. My husband uses a Seeing Eye Dog and we felt welcomed. Kudos to the service staff and the chef! The food and drinks (try a Bloody Mary here) were sublime. We wish we had a restaurant of this quality near where we live! Happy Thanksgiving!

Wonderful experience on the water. We came for brunch but a live band came around 3pm. We had pancakes, the croissant and the 3 little pigs. Everything was tasty. Waiter was kind and efficient. We will be back!
