We were seated in the bar area with a gorgeous view of the Tchefuncte River. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and demonstrated impeccable 'timing'. The craft cocktails were creative and beautifully presented, with colorful history and background about the individual ingredients. The Pork Belly & Fried Oyster, and Crab Cake apps were meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious! The Hawaiian rib-eye was of the highest quality, and they nailed the temp. The Lasagna stood out for its unique presentation and savory goodness. The star of the show was the warm Blueberry Cobbler with housemade Honeycomb Ice Cream. We would return just for that dessert! The music and decor are a perfect match for the clean, modern aesthetic, creating a vibe that's as comfortable as it is elegant. All in all, this was the most enjoyable dining experience we've had in years, and we can't wait to go back!

We celebrated our 52 year wedding anniversary and we were seated at a table with a view of the river and two glasses of champagne for our anniversary toast! Service was completely outstanding and food was excellent as well. We were not rushed along at all and enjoyed sitting and sipping some wine while enjoying the beautiful setting.. we will definitely be back!!
