We have also tried their seafood appetizers - and I can easily say that they were incredible too (especially the oysters). Overall a 10/10, a high-quality meal perfectly complemented by a very warm atmosphere."

I requested a seat change so we could sit by the windows on the river (downstairs), and they quickly obliged. Laura D. was our server. She was kind and knowledgeable. The service from her was excellent, and she is the main reason I will be recommending this location to all who ask! The views were beautiful, and the food was amazing; but the service was out of this world. I felt very pampered throughout the whole experience. We will be back."

The food was great and the Apple Crumb will roll your eyes to the back of your head. I wanted to curl up in bed while eating it. So warm and delicious. They have homemade ice cream and sorbet too. Thank you both for making our anniversary dinner fantastic."

I had the wagyu ribeye with a lobster tail. Delicious. Also ordered the angry shrimp, which I’d recommend. Overall, left feeling very happy and very full."

I don't know if it was something permanent but it was just not nice to be having lunch with people walking by all the time, besides that the steak with cheese was really nice, but the sides had nothing really special..! And the waitress were all really friendly and kind!"
