   Excellent food and ambience on the outdoor deck by the river combined with genuine service made the visit spectacular. The only negative was that latte/espresso wasn’t available.

   Service was great Polite and accommodating. The risotto and Scallops were very tasty. We were able to get a table inside which was great since it was cooler outside. Tables a bit small

   Steak was absolutely delicious, as was the Calamari. Olive bread brought to the table unprompted was a great touch. Service was outstanding. Crab Cakes had an unusual flavor we didn’t care for, but that’s not a knock on the restaurant, it’s just not to our liking. The Old Fashioned drink was excellent. There was nobody at the front to greet us when we walked in, and the hostess was located out back in the outside area. Maybe they were busy and someone had to leave the front for a minute, totally understandable. Very clean restaurant, but a bit noisy for a nice dinner for 2 (Valentine’s Day belated). Overall very good experience and we will be back for another occasion evening.

   Overall great experience for our first visit. I had rack of lamb and my wife the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Wait staff was friendly and drinks were unique. We enjoyed ourselves.

   Expensive food for the atmosphere. Food was either undercooked or overcooked. The only thing that made up for it was the staff.

   The meal was fine. It’s not the fine dining we expected. Being on the water we feel they missed on the other dining and higher quality food. Three filets ordered and they all looked different. Certainly not high quality meat served.

    We sat outside on the lower (uncovered) deck (it was cold, but they had heaters going for us.) The food was prompt, service was excellent. My husband got the salmon and said it tasted a little fishy which he had never had in salmon before, but he ate it all (yes we know he ordered fish, but salmon doesn't typically have that taste). He also had a Caesar salad, which he said was one of the best he has had in a while. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly to my temp preference. I also had a side of mac-n-cheese, which I didn't care for much, but that is just a personal taste preference. Overall, we had a nice time. Next time we will make reservations for Valentines a little earlier so we can sit inside!! Haha.
