The large menu features made-from-scratch Pastas, Breads and Desserts.

    The food was decent. I would have liked a refill of my soda, considering it wasn't cheap, but it was not offered. I also asked for a warm spot to sit but we were seated during a windstorm by the windows with a roof covering that had quite a draft. My food got cold very quickly. I specifically asked for a warm spot to sit so this seems odd. It was okay for the first 15 minutes, but it was getting noticeably cold. I didn't want to move at that point because our food was there and I just don't like to cause a fuss. At the time of seating, the young lady said she could turn on the overhead heater, but that didn't happen, and nobody asked us. Overall, things were fine but it would be better to follow up when you have people on a cold balcony to make sure they are comfortable.

    Fabulous views. Lovely decor and comfortable seating and good varied menu. The only con is slow service. It was difficult to catch the server’s eyes when we were ready to pay the bill.

    This is a great restaurant to visit for a nice view of the river, friendly service (unrushed) and good food. The prices are sneaking up a bit ($50 for two of us with coffee) but not out of line with most restaurants these days. Highly recommended.

    Don’t order the steak! We ordered it medium rare and it was served well done. I’ve had better steaks at Denny’s! We were never offered if we wanted a refill on our drinks. Besides that, the service was very friendly and welcoming. There are beautiful views, but the prices do not match up with the quality of the food. I ordered the steamers and the clams and mussels were very chewy and overcooked. If only their food was as good as their positive atmosphere!
