The food is so fricken delicious! The French onion soup ?! We looked the menu up online before going and saw they had duck, and we were sold! Unfortunately they were out of the duck, but we weren't sad for long! I ordered the Delmonico steak and my Husband ordered the Prime Rib. Delicious, well cooked, well seasoned, and enormous portions! We both started with a soup, I had french onion & my husband had clam chowder, so MF'ing good! My husband's prime rib was at least 20 oz, and my steak was 16 +, both plates were $25. We were stuffed, we decided to share a meal and dessert the next time we go!

The waitress/bartender was so down to earth! Loved her! It's a slow service so do not go there in a rush, it's the place you go to sit and enjoy a person's company and savor the atmosphere. There are charming windows with awnings for every table along the wall to look out. Our window had a pretty rose bush under it and a window box with some flowers.

The outside of the building is indigo and looks pretty cool. The inside color is.. yellow, with some more yellow, but it grows on you when you realize what a gem you've found!

Little gem next to the river. Staff were kind and food was delicious. It was great priced and a wonderful variety. Only downside if you have a baby they do not have a changing table in the bathroom also stalk doors are very short so not much privacy when you use bathroom.

We had very lovely early dinner! Food and services were great! Atmosphere was very calm and relaxed! Loved the windows along the dining room next to the bar. Fresh ingredients. Easy access and parking lot. We ordered bistro duck my son loved it and chicken nuggets my toddler absolutely loved and is a picky eater. My husband order beer battered shrimps and he love it. Plus the cheese steak was very good! The French fries are one the best I have ever had ?.

This place was DRASTICALLY understaffed. I saw 7 patrons get up and walk out because NO ONE came to their table. Not even once.

The water tasted just like it came from the dishwasher. We had espresso martinis and I must say it was the worst I have ever had.

Our sever did the best he could, but you could see clearly that he was overwhelmed, he kept forgetting things to bring to our table and made several unnecessary trips. All could have been avoided had this establishment had a busboy/busgirl.

Sad. Place was really cool inside, just ran poorly.

Second time here. First time here was just ok. This time was very good. We tried both chicken dishes Cora and francese. Both were very good and flavorful. Small menu. Kid friendly, has a bar.

Decided to try this restaurant while visiting the area. Should not have...the service was not good. They were not really busy until after we ordered our food. We asked not to be sat at the bar, so one of the waitress told the host to set us in her section (near the bar but not at it, no problem). Hoped that meant we would have good service, we were wrong.The food left a lot to be desired. Our steaks were not cooked well. Asked for no mushrooms and got mushrooms. Waitress didn't come back to check on food quality. We waited almost 15 minutes for our check, then another waitress ended up bringing. Not a place I would recommend

Great place to grab a drink, have some appetizers and even get dinner for take out. Thats what we did as we stayed at a near by hotel.. Great service and delicious food. The onion rings with horseradish sauce was amazing. So was the garlic mash and even the French fries were so good.. so crispy. Also the fried mozzarella was perfect... $5 shots of tequilla and a friendly staff.
