This place is the absolute BEST we enjoyed our food a lot and our waitress was very friendly and helpful she was wonderful. I highly recommend you try all the food we got it was really delicious especially the Buffalo Chicken Dip it was really yummy and the general psos cauliflower which is what I got. My son loved his French onion smash burger. Great view as well while eating outside. We did have some trouble with our dog because I was looking for a pet friendly and had seen someone posted about having two dogs I had to speak to the manager and she was understanding and put us towards the back, but Libby was so behaved and didn’t even bark.

We looked up resturants nearby since we were out of town. This popped up and looked interesting. Sat outside on balcony over looking the river as the sun went down. View was beautiful. The drink were good. The food was great. Service was great. Will make a special trip to come back.

Stopped in after Dr. appointment. The aroma outside got us to go in. Beautiful, upscale looking bar and restaurant. Unique walls with wine bottles….Food was delicious, good prices and our waitress was awesome! Can’t wait to go back! Excellent!

We stopped in for the late Saturday night happy hour (6-8 pm) and we were more than satisfied. Great service, cocktails, menu, live music, and atmosphere. Be sure to swing by and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!!

On Sunday, December 28, I visited your restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and we requested to be seated in the bar area. When our server arrived, we asked about the mimosa tower, but instead of providing helpful information, he discouraged us from ordering it and gave several reasons why we shouldn’t get it.
We decided to each order a drink instead. After reviewing the menu further, we chose to order a bottle of champagne. When we told the server, he appeared visibly annoyed, which made us feel uncomfortable — as though he either didn’t want to serve us or assumed we couldn’t afford it.
Fortunately, we had already placed our brunch order before requesting the bottle. However, after the bottle was brought to the table, the server never returned to check on us.
He walked past our table multiple times without stopping once to see whether we needed anything. We eventually had to ask another bartender for water and for the dessert menu. I even had to get up from the table and pay at the bar because we waited so long for assistance.
Unfortunately, I do not recall the server’s name, but he was wearing a black football jersey with the number one. Overall, the experience felt dismissive and disappointing, especially during what was meant to be a celebratory occasion.

My food arrived cold. Portions will keep you on your diet. But the service was amazing and the decorations were also amazing. Go you’ll have a good time.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite, as it was near where I was staying for the weekend. I’ve seen all the good reviews so I felt optimistic, but I was sadly disappointed on all ends.
Though service wasn’t exactly good, it would have been easy to overlook had the food a drinks made up for it – it did not. Ordered the cauliflower and cheesesteak rolls, along with the squash ravioli – and I sincerely don’t know how to put this nicely, but it was all really bad.
Cauliflower was not prepared right; hot on the outside, cold on the inside – the veggie was simply not prepared right and was closer to raw than cooked. It was difficult to use a fork with them, had to use a knife – sauce was meh. The cheesesteak rolls were really greasy and felt like they sat in the fridge for a good while, and the raviolis were unfortunately overcooked and sticky. We didn’t finish any of it. Two cocktails were ordered, and I am not sure what we got back but they were not up to par – it’s really hard to botch an old fashion, but it happened here. At that point we just asked for our check and left, there was no point in asking to rectify this – the employees looked like they did not care to put in any effort, they were too busy mingling out front by the hostess station.
Maybe I caught them at a bad time or something, because my experience is a sharp contrast to these reviews. If you visit, I hope it is better than what I dealt with. I don’t find myself ever coming back.

Asked for a smash burger one patty was raw. Places including others, need to stop calling regular burgers smash burgers on a side note.

I’ve been here before but never for food. Without the crowd you can appreciate the cleanliness of the eating area. The bathrooms could use some work. The food makes up for it. What was ordered:
The hangover burger with side home salad, the Angus burger with coleslaw, and the cran apple salad. Everything is fresh, delicious and well made. My burger didn’t come out medium as I preferred but it wasn’t dry at all and the ingredients added extra flavor. Polite and attentive staff. Prices were moderate but on the higher side for any seafood dishes. Would come here again.
