The food had no flavor, the drinks were made with watered down well tequila and the food was served out of a trailer! Might be cool for young people that want to get trashed on cheap booze, but we won’t be going back

The menu is limited, and only bottled beer is offered—no draft options. We ordered the chips and salsa flight, but two of the four salsas were tasteless, while the other two were just average. The much-talked-about view is actually just the side of a graffiti-covered bridge by the river. The margarita, however, was the highlight of our visit and was quite good (Tres Verdes).

With the 95 degree temp out we didn’t feel it was worth it to try the new menu .. nothing seemed inviting ! Beware open table andsome online apps still show the old menu and offer indoor seating which after making reservations for indoor we arrived to findit was not available . We also attempted to switch to sister restaurant the River but at first we’re told to come back up ifit was too hot but when we came back and said it was too hot and since the menu had completely changed we didn’t want toendure the heat I have MS and heat is not good they turned us away .. had many open tables but they said kitchen was backedup and they were not taking walk ins.. terrible experience all around .. however I love the setting and I’m sure we will goback again on a cooler day to enjoy the setting ! I updated my review to 2 stars .. we did eat here.. everything that hadanything to do with lime was overwhelmingly lime.. the peach drink alcoholic you tasted no peach .. I could not finish it ..ordered something else that was not bad .. was told the mix was made wrong and they agreed with us .. but I was not offered totake it off the bill !! The ceviche was REALLY LIME.. but edible .. the guacamole was good .. my husband burrito was good .. mymeal was awful and I didn’t finish it..again an avocado side that tasted like limes !! The atmosphere is lovely .. I hopethey get it together.. Also my husbands meal came out about 10 minutes before mine ! I would return for the atmosphere andprobably order a chicken quesadilla .. how can you ruin that !

The location: it is probably the only selling point of the place. It’s right by the Connecticut River, close to the bridge. There is a calming,relaxing atmosphere. You may see people kayaking or boating on the river. You may catch beautiful sunset. The location earns itfive star. The drink: it’s mediocre. The margarita tasted watery. The mango or peach margarita did not taste mango or peachat all. They all tasted the same. The drinks were served in a small plastic cup. Very environmental unfriendly! The food: the$18 shrimp taco came out only three small round tacos containing a few tasteless shrimps and one slice of avocado. It’s kindadisappointing and overpriced. The service: We had a company function here. With a big group, we received enough attention. Theservice was fast and friendly. Although I enjoyed the view, I came here in a hope to have good meal and drinks. But I was notsatisfied. I do not think I would have desire to come back.
