    From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding! The hostess greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. Our server, Spencer, went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was amazing. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

    Service was great good was great only complaint would be hostess greeting telling reservations to wait in the line wrapped around the riverwalk. If any reservation was to wait in that line they would miss their reservations.

    Location is fantastic. We got a table by the river. Service was prompt and courteous. They did have a girl taking “free” pictures. She was back with additional options at a charge, of course. That was annoying. Other than that, the food was good. Portions very generous. A little pricey though.

    I had made a reservation far in advance for March 12, and even confirmed. Arrived at restaurant in advance, presented name, and we were seated. Our waiter (who saved the experince for us) came over dropped water and took drink orders, came back with drinks and took appitzer order. Then the hostess came over and TOLD us that we had to move, she explained that she made a mistake and had to move us. Asled for the manager and when she came over in stead of appoligizing and asking us to move politely, she demanded that we move. In the end we did not move. Our waiter was outstanding (Atlas? was his name), the appitizers were outstanding, the wine selection was good, and the portion size was large. The staff here is great, the management is horrible.

    The atmosphere was loud but not so much so that I couldn’t hear my husband talk to me. The staff were all fantastic and I was very happy to eat here. I have multiple food allergies and yet was able to eat an appetizer, main course and a dessert. I am allergic to gluten and lemons. Plus more but none that pertain to this restaurant. It is a bit on the pricey side but the portions make it worth it. I had enough to bring home and have a couple of meals after the fact. Great restaurant!

    We ordered a “meat lovers” style pizza which was tasty. Also ordered fettuccine Alfredo and added grilled chicken to it. It can out with a breaded breast. We didn’t return it and just went with it. It was a mistake. The entire dish lacked flavor. The pasta was dry and kind of hard; it def needed way more Alfredo sauce. The breaded chicken breast was ok. I would go back for pizza, if that’s what I wanted, but would not order the pasta again. Honestly, prob the worst fettuccine Alfredo w chicken that I’ve had in a very, very long time. On the bright side, our waitress LORI was outstanding and phenomenal. She delivered in all aspects and the restaurant should be proud to have waiters like her! Great job LORI!
