   The patio on the river was beautiful and while there’s a few tables outside, it feels peaceful and serene. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and charismatic. The octopus appetizer was so tender and delicious. All of the food was magnificent! Inside the restaurant was bustling with people and lovely decor. We will definitely be returning. I could sit on that patio all day.

   I love the reassurance. I will defiantly be back again. The experience me and my guest had this time was only tarnished because we felt rushed out at the end of dinner purhaps that was my fault for booking a late dinner at 8:15pm. You could tell the stag was ready to go (understandable) but they kept coming back to the table and trying to clean it while we were still eating. So we felt we were in the way and just asked for to go boxes. This was just one bad experience, the many times I’ve come but it certainly through us off a bit.

   I was not impressed. The food is very average and overpriced for what you get. It was also incredibly salty. A salad tasted like salt, a soup was inedible and we sent it back, and the branzino was covered in salt. It may have been someone new the kitchen but the food was just awful. I was embarrassed that I selected this place to rale a client.

   Wonderful food and service. Not great on gluten-free options but the waitress was very accommodating to help with the meal selections. Nice location right on the river and pleasant ambiance. One minor complaint - water refill was not really offered but I am sure we could have asked.
