Very nice, quaint restaurant along the river. There was outdoor seating as well as indoor. We got the duck leg and the salmon which were both very good! The chef was very talented. We had a very nice dinner!

We were seated at 5 and were the only ones there. All the table were full by the time we left but we received excellent service the whole time despite them being short staffed. Wonderful food, happy hour drinks!

We were very excited to try this place however our experience was not the best. Bar has awful selection, wine list was awful. We wanted to start with the scallops however they were out, wanted the prime rib, they were out, wanted cheesecake, they were out. On a Saturday? Really? Our server even though she only had a few tables kept bringing everyone wrong food. Was even billed for soda water. Had the ribeye, was ok, overcooked, she had chicken piccata, was not piccata, was a 1/4 roasted chicken in a cream sauce. Pricing is very high for the food and the service. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

They were out of most items so the menu was limited and the steak was more on the done side than medium

The service was great - our waiter, Jaden, was the best part of the experience. It was a busy weekend in a tourist town (not at peak season yet but, like all tourist towns, the restaurant struggled with balancing available waitstaff to hungry patrons). Jaden made sure that we were not waiting a long period of time for food or drink. The proteins we had, salmon and trout, were cooked almost perfectly. The sides (sauteed vegetables and rice pilaf), however, were not - the vegetables were highly over seasoned with something that tasted like Mrs. Dash and the rice pilaf was mushy steamed white rice with a few things thrown in. We also ordered a caesar salad to share. Although decent, I'm pretty sure it was a bagged grocery store salad. With a couple of glasses of mediocre wine each, our tab came to $125 without the tip. Not an overall terrible experience, but the price coupled with the lack of less expensive options (sandwiches, entree salads, etc.) would drive me to opt for ordering beer and appetizers only.
