The service was decent, but the poor server seemed overwhelmed with the amount of people. We did manage to get some drinks and enjoyed listening to the band, though.

I'll definitely return to try the food next time.

The inside of the burger looked very uncooked. Not even a warm bun or anything at all. The waitress looked extremely over it although it wasn't busy at all and was 12 in the afternoon. I didn't complain about my food because we were there maybe a half hour and left. Extremely disappointing and won't be back.

Fun and crowded on Saturday/Sunday, peaceful with plenty of elbow room Monday to Friday. The river view is unmatched.

There are live music that creates a family vibe. If you do not want to sit in the restaurant all the time, you can bring your dog to a park-like area. There is a lot to see and do along the restaurant location road and even more beyond. I haven't tried any food deals yet, but I wanted to visit again and review this aspect. This place could work well for many scenarios...family time, first dates, take out the children and only time alone;

Enjoyed the scenery. Service was good. Food was below standard. Had chicken tenders with fries [both were too dry and cold hard to chew]; hubby had chicken salad with chips. Small portion for the price, and the chips were greasy. If we decide to go again, it will be on a full stomach.

Great food.. Fish tacos, spinach salad, and catfish fritter. Drinks Miami vice and Bae Breezy... they do not skimp on the liquor. Live band. Wonderful atmosphere. Waitress nice attitude. Kid friendly. Pet friendly . Seeing people with their pooches on the patio made me smile. And think of my dog Codie Girl who passed last month on the 18th.

The bartender was busy tending to about 40 people where we sat, but was attentive and didn't seem rushed with us. It's a beautiful location, but the crowd may block enjoying it. Parking is pretty short, though we managed to find a close spot pretty easily.
