“ Wow So Good! Clean. Open. Right amount of loud and quiet. Waitress was fun professional. Food was awesome. The amount was more... The price was right. The view was cool because we just came from the museum. The bathrooms were awesome and clean. Great great Sunday morning experience. ”
“ Cool place. Great view. Great food. We had cheese curds for appetizer & shrimp tacos for our meal. The food was excellent. I would high recommend this place & will return if I’m ever up this way again. ”
“ Wow, what a fun place. The atmosphere and view were excellent. The bartender was nice and the drinks were great. Now on to the food. Wow!! Upscale bar food, done excellently. Hand breaded on all the apps we tried, that was apparent, even the mini corn dogs. The shrimp on the tacos was cooked PERFECT, not rubbery at all. The bar opens earlier than the kitchen which wasn’t apparent, but worth the wait. ”

“ Interesting restaurant and pub with a view of the river. Maybe the music is a bit too loud during the day but this is the type of restaurant so it has to be that way. The food /fast food/ is even ok. The decor is also very pleasant, the service is nice but few so it's a bit of a problem to get service. Overall I have positive impressions. ”
