    My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Inn and the Portneuf Grille & Lounge was a big surprise. Our waiter Will served us a great meal and was great to talk to. We look forward to another visit soon.

    Truly such a great dining experience. Will took exceptional care of us. Every part of our meal was perfect. We started with the baguette and butter. The bread was crusty and delicious. Then they split a wedge salad for us and it was one of the best I have ever had. The blue cheese was soft and creamy and there was lots of it on each salad. And then the cioppino did not disappoint! It was made just like it should be, loaded with great seafood, and the broth made you want to clean your plate with your bread. We had after dinner coffee. And then Will made us a chocolate hazelnut martini for dessert. So wow! I can’t wait to go back again.

    We had dinner on New Year's Eve. The service was fantastic and the manager, Derrick treated us like royalty! We had duck and Beef Wellington and both meals were excellent, especially on a tough night! I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Very nice, quaint restaurant along the river. There was outdoor seating as well as indoor. We got the duck leg and the salmon which were both very good! The chef was very talented. We had a very nice dinner!
