    Our server was really great, he checked on us multiple times. The food and drinks were delicious! I’d highly recommended this place. Being right on the Colombian River, watching the planes land and take off at the airport and overall coziness inside is amazing! Check it out!

    Great location and view and service was very good - but $14 for a bowl of chowder and $10 extra for some crab (and very little crab at that) it was a bit much! Didn't even include bread!

    The food and service were, as usual, excellent. Although the restaurant can be quite noisy when busy, we went on a quiet evening and all was well.
