The food selection is diverse and can likely accommodate any dietary restrictions. Am anxious to tryout the other menu options next time - and there definitely will be a next time!

The view of the Mississippi river is incredible. They do have outdoor seating for warm weather times. The indoor accommodations are vast with plenty of elbow room. If you travel to the FM area often like we do, this place is a must stop. It will definitely be on the top of my list for when we are in town. Highly recommend you make reservations in advance.

Music blasted making conversation non existent. Service was lackluster. If you were not a regular, you basically did not exist. Margarita was a minus ten, and that is being kind. I give kudos for the games on the side room.....nice touch but nothing else makes you want to stay to play the games. Needs some guidance and hands on ownership to run this place around as I see potential.

We waited a while for menus and when I asked the waiter how long the merlot had been open, he said "a couple weeks", with a shrug. I was certain that I would not be drinking there and probably no food either. I asked if he would be willing to open a new bottle and his response was direct and to the point, which I appreciated. Nope, he wouldn't and since it was Sutter Home, how good would it be anyway? We were welcome to go somewhere else. We did! Went to the Fort Diner and had a great! Cheap! Cajun! Burger!

We waited inside for several minutes without being…read moregreeted and finally decided we should seat ourselves and then the lady at the front told us to seat ourselves as we walked towards the back. We sat there for a few minutes before a server brought some menus. She seemed pretty annoyed by our presence. All of the much older very conservative looking customers also seemed annoyed that we had came there to eat. They were out of the appetizer we wanted (onion petals) so we got fried mushrooms. Server was again annoyed when I thought the hot sandwiches on the menu were actual sandwiches instead of just mashed potatoes and gravy on top of meat. I opted for a tenderloin sandwich instead. It was massive and pretty good. The mushrooms were tasty but it was a very small order. A warning would have been awesome since I said "we want" instead of "I want" and it is clearly too small of an appetizer for two people. They're typically a much larger order anywhere else we go. My boyfriend tried some of my sandwich and said it was the best sandwich he'd ever tasted. He had popcorn shrimp and murpheys mess, neither of which he liked. The server got a lot more friendly right at the very end when I told her that we were sent there on somebody's recommendation who she knew.

I entered the restaurant behind a man and woman and stood in the waiting area. There were 2 people at the bar and one guy sitting at a table but no hostess, waitress or bartender to be seen. After about 5 minutes, I called out "Hello, is anybody there?" Eventually, the waitress appeared and asked the woman in front of me if we were together. The woman said no, that she was there with her son and then, in a very loud, nasty voice, "I wouldn't have screamed at you like she did", looking at me. The waitress turned her back on me and took the woman to her table without greeting me or acknowledging my presence. Not enjoying the vibe, I left. Get it together people.
