Leave a ReviewMy name is Jamaal! I was there 7/25/25 with my family for dinner! My service was great! Raul was our waiter! He was really cool & kind! The food was excellent! I had Lamb chops,Lobster Risotto,& Brussel Sprouts!
Me and my boyfriend were here to celebrate our anniversary and they made it feel really special. Our server Dalton was amazing so friendly and extremely attentive. He even took us to the balcony to take pictures and gave us a tour of the place which was very generous. Drinks, appetizers and entrees were all amazing. We were extremely full so didn’t not order dessert but they surprised us with a complementary dessert and champagne. Loved it will definitely coming back
See moreThe food was amazing, the staff attentive and the river views phenomenal. The decor is very cute and not over the top. I went for my anniversary but had previously gone as a group. Both times were great. We dined on small plates and with the creme brulee for dessert, it was perfect. Be aware, the experience can be pricey ($400 dinner for 2), but in the end definitely worth the spend.
