It was horrible! It was so diluted tasting,& not with cream I don't know. It tasted like a melted vanilla runny shake from McDonald's! Then we took it back up to the bartender & she announced she was 22 yrs. Old. & most likely no experience.And she poured more cream in it! I would have paid for the extra alcohol if needed I just wanted the only drink I was having to be decent and it was aweful. We won't be back not for a drink anyways.The atmosphere was great the Bingo was great! And I let at least 4 people try my drink and they agreed! Sorry "Bell"!

The menu was good, although my husband was hoping for better craft beer choices. I decided to try the Fireside in Valencia. I'm not huge on overly sweet cocktails . For me it was definitely on the sweet side. The Egg white added a creaminess to it however it was not as fluffy or thick as I'm used to. It kind of fell flat and could have been shaken more. Our server was super friendly. Loved the atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Being a…read moreSunday night the kitchen was closing at 10pm and even though we only had three minutes to order, our waiter Pat, just told us he would get the order in. Although they were fairly busy the food came out in 10 minutes. We ordered fried mushrooms, they were the usual you get anywhere but for the price, it was above average in quantity! I love salads so I ordered a side salad thinking it would be small and a start to my meal, it was huge for a side salad. I was full after my salad and a few mushrooms. The grilled cheese and crinkle fries were tasty and portion size was way more than expected for the price. Now to the best meal of all...the Monte Cristo was AMAZING paired with sweet potato fries!!! My wife ordered this and I have never had it so I tried a bite, WOW! Portion sizes compared to price were outstanding! I can't say enough good about my experience. They are located right next to the river so be sure to walk over and take in the water.
