After living in the area for 7.5 years we thought maybe we should FINALLY figure out how to visit this restaurant. We went recently for my birthday and I am beyond happy we did! Our server, Margaret, was funny, witty, kind, and attentive. She helped make a dinner date with my husband feel so special. My husband has the stroganoff with sirloin (warning, it has a LOT of mushrooms!) and I had the chicken which was one of SEVERAL gluten free options! I was thrilled to have something other than salads or a personal pizza to pick from! Our meals were amazing. I rarely finish an entire plate at a restaurant like this but this was the exception. I was actually sad that there wasn't anything left to eat except a small drumstick (not a fan of that part). Margaret checked in the perfect amount of times, added extra cherries to my Shirley Temple (don't judge me, I like them) and put a beautiful candle in my flour less chocolate cake. The cake was decadent and the perfect texture.
I have no suggestions to improve the experience EXCEPT maybe re-padding the chair cushions ;)
The vibe is casual but refined. Someone coming off the river would be just as home as a bunch of people dressed in Sunday best. I look forward to coming back and trying lunch on the patio this summer!
Reservations are STRONGLY recommended especially if you want a river view. Definitely recommend for a nice evening out, anniversary, date night, birthday or just because!
We stayed nearby and got takeaway. My husband went in to order the chicken fritters and as someone who hasn't been able to eat gluten in years - they were great!! I didn't see them on the online menu, but my husband ordered them at the bar.
They have the best sandwiches and smoothies around. The gluten free bread is the best I have tasted. Many healthy choices for those with dietary limitations
Highly recommend. It’s popular so can be crowded. Seating limited. Nice staff.
Food and drinks were delish at incredible price for the quality. Fresh hand battered chicken sandwich and beautiful delicate butter lettuce on my burger. They offer the choice for gluten-free sandwiches as well.
I mean... It's a place to eat, but the food was sub par if I'm being honest. Mac&cheese side was served cold, menu wasn't updated, the available sauce was one flavor and not very flavorful. Drinks were dramatically over priced ($14 for a 12 oz drink with a shot of rum). Not impressed in the least. Asked about a gluten free menu (which online something did mention a gluten free menu otherwise I wouldn't have asked) and there was none.
Four different people with different food orders and not one element was even minimally satisfactory.
