Worst restaurant experience ever! Do not go here! I have celiac and I ordered a meal off the item that was shown as gluten free on the menu after I told the waitress that I was gluten free, and it turns out that it wasn’t! I ate some of the meal, and something didn’t seem right to me. I asked the waitress (who finally came back after at least 20 mins, and there was only one other table seated in the entire restaurant) to verify if it was indeed gluten free, she said that she “thinks” it is. She went back to the kitchen to check and then a gentleman came out (assuming the manager?) and informed me that it was not made as gluten free. He said the menu has it listed that way because it can be made gluten free upon request. That is NOT how it is written on the menu, PLUS I did inform her when ordering the food that I cannot have anything with gluten. I was beyond livid. They did not even offer to comp my meal and I was sick to my stomach after eating the small portion of my meal. Fix your menu!!!!!

Had a pretty good dining experience there this evening. The outdoor seating area is big and almost all of it overlooks the Blackstone River. It's really pretty and they're on OpenTable making the reservation process a breeze. Unfortunately our seats weren't near the water but we still had a great time. My Mojito ($10) didn't have a lot of mint: it was okay but my wife's Cosmo was great. Our appetizer, the mozzarella bursts ($10) took forever to come out and were barely warm when they finally arrived. They were okay, nothing special. Our child's fish and chips however were great and came with a pretty tasty serving of tartar sauce as well as scrumptious fries. The fries were a hit with our table. My steak tip Caesar salad was interesting. The steak tips were of good quality and delicious while the actual croutons felt cheap. Why add premium ingredients to low quality salad ingredients? Thought that was a bit odd. My wife really enjoyed her blackened chicken Alfredo ($19.99) and it was made gluten-free for her which was great although it was under seasoned. One other thing to note is that the tables outside appear to be plywood. There's no coating on them. Seems like a great way to get splinters. A simple coating to seal them would make a world of difference. Overall we had a good experience here and service was great even though they were slammed with a couple of big parties. The views are great and it made for a good evening overall. There's some limited parking but worth the struggle. Just don't miss out on the fries.
