"We had made a 7:30 reservation here so we didn't have to go back out after a 3 hour drive to get there. We were 1 of only 2 guests in the dining room for the hour we were there and the service was very attentive. I had the flatiron steak ($24) and it was very nicely seasoned and exactly medium rare, as I had ordered. My wife had the fruit glazed pork filet ($22) which she also enjoyed very much. The vegetables were very fresh and done just right. Mashed potatoes were smooth and we enjoyed the big scoop of butter on the potatoes and the warm rolls. We also split a fresh house salad ($9) - 2 plates, no charge. The menu only had 5-6 entrees so that was the only down side regarding dinner. Current menu is not quite as pricey as O/T shows."

"This was supposed to be s gem of a place with great food. We read somewhere that there was a dress code (smart casual) no jeans. So I packed my heels and my husband brought slacks and a jacket . Seriously?! We walked in and I could have worn jeans and flip flops. There were only two other tables occupied on a fri night. Staff was very Nice, accommodating n courteous. The food ...?! The side of wedge potatoes was obviously precooked and set aside. They were old, hard and cold. My husbands steak was the same. Doesn't take long to grill a steak yet his tasted like it had been precooked n leftover as well as cold. It was supposed to be a nice romantic birthday dinner . Our dinner ended up being the cookies we received at turn down service :("

"Frankly, there were so many delicious sounding choices I struggled to pick only one option in each category. The Vegetable Crudi was fantastic...perfect balance of veggies (asparagus, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and more). I forget the exact name of the Bisque but it had seafood and had tomato influences as bisque should and it was delicious. It came with crackers on the side but I tossed them aside as the bisque didn't need it. (etiquette prevented me from licking the bowl so I crumbled a little bit of the roll into the bowl to lap up the rest of bisque). The Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly cooked - it was very moist yet cooked thoroughly as I like it. The service was great and the view was beautiful of the setting sun."

"Standard hotel restaurant. Food was pretty good, quick service, well priced. Would have an amazing view if they put lanterns outdoors to see the river."
