Description

Nestled alongside Thompson Lake in Fall River, this local restaurant offers an inviting ambiance and commendable service, making it a go-to destination for many diners. While most patrons enjoy the delicious food and friendly staff, critiques have emerged regarding inconsistent quality—particularly with their chicken wings and fish and chips, which some found lacking in flavor and preparation. The outdoor terrace shines in warmer months, providing stunning views. Despite some noise and parking challenges, the restaurant's charm and diverse menu, alongside a solid cocktail selection, leave guests looking forward to return visits. Reservations are recommended for peak times.

My husband and I visited this establishment last night and we were blown away! The atmosphere and service can’t be matched on this side of the bridge. We had an amazing dessert and a free delicious peach samplers. We are foodies and the selection and variety of entrees is exceptional! It has a Gibbys and Pressgang feel to it and it’s only minutes from our home! Very impressed and we look forward to many more nights! Thanks, Olu Rooms: 5

Been coming here for dinners a few times a month for the past 4 years. It’s a guaranteed great time. The ambience, food and service is excellent every time. Cannot say enough good things about it. Best to make a reservation. Parking lot gets full, lots of extra parking at Fall River Place (1 min walk). Thanks to the team for ensuring such a great experience. Rooms: 5

One of the worst service experiences we have ever had . We were there for 1hour and 75 min before we received any food! We booked early, it was a big celebration with the family 8 adults 6 kids ages 9 months to 8 years They sat us in the holding room as you walk in the restaurant That was fine but then sat two unsuspecting souls at the one other table . All would have been fine if we were served but instead they chose to serve that couple and allow us to struggle to entertain everyone to keep them happy as they were starved and Im not just saying kids! It went from bad to worse No follow up on the drinks, gave us the bill before kids got their ice cream .I could go on To add insult yo injury no one even apologized. Honestly I felt so bad for the couple on a date night sitting the room with us I spoke to the server and mentioned she should comp them a drink . You are a community restaurant We live in this community We were thrilled to get a chance to try your restaurant You can be sure we will not go again and I will spread the word what a terrible experience it was . Really too bad it would n’t have taken much for the manager to right this wrong. That says something right there. Management didn't care!!

This is the second time we've been ans the food was fantastic. Love all the gluten free options and knowledge of the staff on what they can do to accommodate. The parking is a bit of a challenge but it is so worth it to deal with that all the same. Service: 5 Location: 3
