So glad they opened, will definitely be going again. I can see this being my husband and I's regular hang out spot. We sat at the bar and had apps, entrees, and dessert. The tator tots, short ribs, shrimp, and key lime pie were all incredible. The staff is kind and very attentive. The restaurant itself is spacious and they don't cram tables together so you really feel like you have room to be with the people your dining with. Planning on bringing out family and friends in the future!

Lunch was a pleasant experience, service excellent, food fresh and delicious. Will certainly return. An oasis of interest in a languishing city. Nice mood, right on the river, could watch the ice floes and the ducks in the frigid water, a tree was encased in glass next to the table. Quiet, but serene atmosphere.
