    Fabulous food, sat by a window overlooking the river. Jordan, our waitress, was wonderful and took excellent care of us. Each of us ordered a different dish and all were amazing. Caesar salad was yum, the spinach salad fabulous. We had filet perfectly cooked, salmon, chicken dish and scallops. We had cappuccino and one dessert. Can’t wait to return❤️

    Steak was over cooked but tender and juicy. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Veggies not to my liking. Ice tea was bad, sent it back. Service was terrific as was the presentation.

    Ask for Simone. She makes the specials sound like she’s reciting Shakespeare!!! The food is only second to the view. Both are outstanding. We’ve had most of the menu over the years and everything is so good.
