We took a table outside and had a great view of the river with tourist boats going by. The menu is heavy on wines with some limited food options (mostly appetizers) which were however delicious.

The meat on the nachos was cold and I'd requested salad dressing on the side for my salad and it arrived with dressing on it. I wasn't impressed at all.

Nice spot by the river, very much an after-work spot, a little hard to find - you have wander into an office tower and make your way toward the river side. Lobster roll was good and cheese plate satisfied.
