    Great food and a beautiful location. Service was a bit slow and coffee was cold. We were brought new cups when asked, but took awhile, especially since restaurant was quiet

    The Kitchen is all around the best dinner experience! From the family style food to the ambiance and river watching, you’re in for a treat. The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly, Particularly Basha (the manager) who will make sure you have a great time.
