I wish our waitress had informed us when we ordered that it would take at least 45 minutes for our meals to be ready. Had we known about the delay, we might have opted for some appetizers. The atmosphere was lively and the live music was enjoyable, but if I decide to return, I'll make sure to brace myself for a lengthy wait for food.

The service was fairly good; you could tell they were a bit short-staffed, but they were doing their best. All the dishes we ordered at our table—various wraps, a chicken sandwich, and fish and chips—took some time to arrive, but we had no complaints about the taste or quality.

Surprisingly, they had a band playing and we had to wait just a bit for a table, as we had a party of 13. Ended up at 2 picnic tables on the deck. Good drinks and everyone enjoyed their food. Server was attentive, but the kitchen is very small. Food came out in 'waves ', with 15 minutes between our first and last served. Not cool. Outside of that, very happy we made the trip.

We decided to sit outside and enjoyed fantastic views of the marina and the Mississippi River. The outdoor area is quite spacious and dog-friendly, and it was bustling with activity. The servers were friendly and efficient, making our visit even more enjoyable. We ordered the full-sized nachos with taco meat, which was a huge portion and more than enough for the three of us. They also have a great selection of bottled and draft beers. We will definitely be coming back!
