Others in my party had a burger which was big and meat is different in that it has brisket in the patty as well giving good flavor. Another had a wrap, which was just okay. I probably would've enjoyed the dinner menu more, but we were unaware those entrees are not available until 4 pm. So will just have to go back!

The "fresh baked" Mac and cheese suggested by the owner had no flavor. Not even cheese. Just mushy elbow macaroni. But worse, I asked if the battered haddock sandwich was fresh or frozen and the owner - who was sitting in a booth working on a laptop, lied and emphatically said it was. No, it sure wasn't. You know flat haddock strips that are breaded and frozen and sold in bulk? And the restaurant then just heats it up in hot oil? Kinda like a Tops fish fry? That's what it was. Slapped on a slightly toasted hoagie roll with a plastic cup of tartar sauce, no lettuce or tomato. Plus my $3 Diet Coke arrived in a little juice glass, lol. Lots of empty tables but still a 15 min wait, and they didn't seem to have enough staff to keep up with bussing dirty tables. All in all a poor lunch experience for two with bill over $50. Something is really wrong when a restaurant can't keep enough staff to run properly. I miss Koffee Kove.

We were tucked in a corner with a view of the water (though the sun had already set). The interior felt elegant, though they do not have a dress code. Food took a while but the waitress apologized and explained why which I was grateful for (there was a huge party right before us). Throughout, our waitress was attentive, but not overbearing Buffalo shrimp - this was delicious. It comes with only 4, but it is the perfect appetizer. Pomodoro - the pasta was cooked perfectly but I found the flavor to be a bit underwhelming. Portion size was satisfactory. Chicken Marsala - both pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly, and it was much more flavorful than the pomodoro. Mushrooms were delicious. Chicken wasn't seasoned outside of the sauce. Broccolini - both I and my partner got a side of brocolini, mine came out with three and hers came out with one. Not sure what happened there, but we paid the same amount. We ordered a Caesar salad that we never received. Tirimisu - this was stellar. I was already full, but I definitely overate just so I could finish off the dessert. Overall, the experience was quite plesant, and despite some smaller hiccups I would definitely recommend this place. Not sure I myself would return, but that has more to do with the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of Italian cuisine in general.

We get there and the lady who seats you wasn't very friendly, and then she wanted to seat us straight in the sun when there was a spot in the shade open so I asked to be seated in there. This seemed to annoy the young lady. Our waitress never introduced herself, and we seemed to be bothering her the entire time by just sitting there. We never asked for a refill, any special accommodations to our food. We were polite, said yes ma'am, please and thank you. She never once refilled our drinks, seemed to be annoyed when she offered us dessert and we asked what they had. She did hand the table next to us free cannolis for their anniversary . (We're not upset we didn't get anything free... we just wanted a pleasant experience.) She only became polite when it came time for the bill since she probably wanted a nice tip. Maybe if the service wasn't better, we'd be back. I'm honestly disappointed in the whole experience.

First off, their website is odd. Not much information, quite confusing, sometimes it won't even load (on mobile device), so if you're trying to make a reservation, call them directly. Location, beautiful, along the river, great outdoor seating. I'm sure dinner and sunset is stunning. Good, it was okay. We ordered kids breakfast, huevos rancheros skillet thing, chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the whisky flight. The huevos ranchero was good, nothing to rave over but good. The chicken and waffles didn't come with syrup at first, I'm sure it was a mistake. The biscuit and gravy... looked amazing, but the biscuits were hard. Like rock hard, and even after sitting in the gravy, no moisture would come back. Haha Service... the lady was so sweet, but she kept forgetting us, she would place hot things right in front of the baby where she would easily grab it. She had a hard time splitting the bill. Ultimately we had to ask another waitress for water refill and splitting our bill. Maybe we will go back... but not in a rush.
