A humble restaurant on the river with a surprisingly affordable and creative menu, and also great food.
I was in town for work and stopped here at the end of the day. The menu had a lot of interesting options including burgers, tacos, chicken fingers, salads, and full dinners which included sides. I had chicken smothered in muenster cheese with peppers and onions – the chicken was grilled to perfection, tender, and juicy. The broccoli was blanched and buttered – tender and delicious. My other chosen side was a potato cake, which seemed to be mashed potato rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried – delicious!
My server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciated the place being open on a Monday when almost everything else in town was closed. The huge place only had two other parties dining.
Only complaints are that the industrial air conditioner is REALLY loud and seemed to run the whole time. Also, my table was a bit sticky when I sat down. Other than that this place is a great option, especially if you’re a visitor looking for a low-key place to grab a quick, affordable, and delicious dinner.

We stopped here for the river view and the view did not disappoint. The outdoor porch/patio has a beautiful overlook. The waitresses were very friendly and helpful. The cheese curd appetizer was delicious and came quickly. I had the black orchid cocktail and was impressed with the size and it was tasty.
My husband ate the walleye platter and it was good. I had the meatloaf tower and was disappointed. The potato cakes weren’t tasty and the meatloaf was greasy.
We love veteran owned businesses and support them. For that fact alone, we’d give it another try.

Despite arriving within an hour of closing on a Thursday night, we were given wonderful service and a delicious meal. We loved dining on the deck and appreciated the staffs efforts to find a tee shirt for my husband. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

Wonderful staff. Great food. So different than the late 90’s “market” that was there before. Large seating capacity inside and out. Outside stage for music venues. Outside standing bar area. It’s definitely worth visiting.

Service is hit-or-miss. The dining area is open and echoes conversation.
We got pretzel bites and mushrooms for appetizers. They were mid at best. The cheese for the pretzels was basic cheese from a can.
The Chicken Tenders were Great. The Walleye and MeatLoaf tower was fine.
The best thing of the meal was a drink called a Black Orchid. SUPER tasty!
Not someplace I would travel to eat at, but could be part of a rotation of eateries if you’re intown.

Good food and friendly service. Nice to be able to either sit outside or by a window and watch the river. The smash burger was good and the fried walleye sandwich was light and fluffy

We were on a weekend trip and went camping in the nearby area. Before we headed back to Columbus, we decided to try this restaurant. The food was alright. The captains platter was great but the fish could of been fried a little longer. The jalapeño poppers were perfect! The bartender couldn’t make a old fashioned correctly, but it’s not a big deal! I do want to shout out our server, Chree! She made the visit perfect. So I am grateful we had such an amazing server. She made it a 5 star for me! Thanks Chree!

In desperate need of proper and safe entry for those that are handicapped. There is a post in the middle of the ramp! The sidewalk is cracked and uneven. The entry into the restaurant is difficult also. Thankfully, the wait staff was very helpful in over coming these issues. Thank you to each of you. Having said all of that; the food was good and the portions generous .

We were welcomed with smiles and when we told our server we had never been there, she immediately explained the entire menu and was extremely attentive. (Party of 6 with 3 different tickets. No mistakes.)

Our server, Cassy was a sweetheart!! Atmosphere very nice, clean
However, the prices were insanely too high. Omgooodness. I was in shock, and still am. I thought for sure my bill was wrong. Never going back. Beware: Check online menu first. Six chicken tenders and fries 18.00!!! Pepsi. 3.50.
