First visit. We had reservations and were promptly seated. We liked the decor/ambiance. The menu has a good variety of apps and entrées. One of us got a salad with salmon; it was excellent. One of us got the clam bisque and grilled chicken with spinach Maria. The chicken was on the dry side. There was a big hunk of unmelted cheese in the flavorful spinach dish which took away from the overall experience. We both are big water drinkers. One of us continued to be without water throughout our meal. We would go back and recommend to others.

We enjoyed sitting by the river. The Stone Crabs 🦀 were absolutely incredible! My favorite “go to” for the best seafood options in town.

Creek side table was beautiful, food was awesome, only thing I didn’t like was the bar. Idk it was just small and everyone that sat there was eating food so it was damn near impossible to get a drink while waiting for a table. It was an annoying bar scene to say the least

The service was excellent. The winter mule was not as good as last time I went. The crème brûlée cheesecake was a scam. Just a regular cheesecake with some burn marks, no crème brûlée topping. Server was perfect
