    We got drinks before dinner at the bar. I recommend The Red Stilleto. We ordered all appetizers instead of entrees. The large seafood tower was good. Shrimp cocktail, with large shrimp, raw oysters, raw tuna, Cajun scallops. Then we got the charcuterie board. Sopressetta, cheeses, olives, two dips, we got oysters Rockefeller, lump crab cakes and fried calamari. They have baby chibatta breads with butter. Our waiter was awesome. Shout out to Nicholas! Was an awesome date night. The piano was a nice addition to the ambiance. Low lighting, quiet, elegant. My husband wore black slacks and a cable knit sweater, I wore a sweater dress with boots. Loved it. Will be back.

    Decided to have a last minute birthday party and I am so happy to have picked 1330 on the River! Had a group of 12 and they easily accommodated all of us together at one table , server and bartender were extremely friendly and recommended some amazing cocktails ! Highly recommend the nitro espresso martini and fig wraps !! Had the chef Rivera scampi and the sauce was to die for. Will definitely be back !
