First time dining here for lunch today and it was absolutely spectacular! Sat at the bar and the view of the Connecticut River is stunning; can’t imagine how nice it will be when the patio opens. All of our apps were fantastic: the crab cakes, egg roll, and kimchi fry stack. Drinks were strong and all with unique flavors. Service was quick and all staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely going to be a favorite spot for summer and beyond!
I had some time in between an appointment and a meetup yesterday, so I stopped in for a small meal and a drink. Bryan, the waiter was the best! Very kind and attentive. I ordered the ahi tuna nachos and it was incredible! The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was quick! I sat on the back patio and had the most amazing view of the Connecticut River. The experience made my day.
Love this place for its outdoor seating on the water. Service is excellent and the fried cauliflower with Thai chili sauce is the bomb!
Went bc we were looking for a restaurant near the water but not too far. Fresh food and drinks we loved it.
A fun venue on the water with great food! We got the fried green tomatoes, sweet & spicy plumaki bowl, and lemon ricotta rigatoni (added chicken). Everything was delicious, drinks included. We went on a Friday night without a reservation, and were sat within 5 minutes of arriving. We sat inside, but there was live music outside and we walked around a little by the water after dinner. Highly recommend!
We rented their event space for my baby shower. The space was beautiful, open, and well decorated, overlooking the CT river. Briana was so responsive with planning everything and answering questions or making changes. The day went so smoothly thanks to her and the other staff. We got the brunch package and the food was delicious, the parfait bar and cupcakes were a hit with all the guests.
I visited this restaurant last week and had an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the view I originally wanted to sit outside, but there was a 30 mins wait, so I ended up at a high-top table inside, which was still nice and comfortable. I ordered the lime pasta, chicken tacos, and the seafood basket which included fried scallops and white fish. Everything was cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right, and the coleslaw and tartar sauce were next level— so fresh!! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and a relaxing vibe.
What an incredible dining experience! This restaurant, nestled right on the river, offers an enchanting atmosphere that’s hard to match. The outdoor seating area is absolutely stunning, providing breathtaking views and a serene ambiance. It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a meal. The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with flavors that left a lasting impression. The menu had a great variety, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. The drinks were the highlight of the evening – so unique and refreshing! It’s clear that a lot of thought and creativity went into crafting each one. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a beautiful outdoor setting by the river. I’ll definitely be coming back!
