    If you are looking for a good lunch spot on the water this has it. Didn't pay much attention to…read morethe inside but the patio was perfect. Didn't hurt that the weather was perfect. Service was prompt and very adequate. No complaints. Food: Beet salad was incredible and refreshing. The seared tuna salad was also very tasty. Both were very simple but done right. The burger was average. One pet peeve of mine was when asked what toppings not told there was a charge for everything, including mayo. Added lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. This made a $12 burger $18. Caught off guard. Don't like that. The location and view made up for any short falls which there were few. Prices were reasonable and in-line. This is a good spot for lunch on the water. They also have live music!

    I had this place tagged on my Google "must try" since last year. The food was good, but not…read morespecial. I think the restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Traffic tonight was light especially for a Wednesday and during the Airshow. The server was prompt and checked on us often. For the food, I ordered the pretzel, brussel sprouts, and the Bam Bam shrimp tacos. I really loved the brussel sprouts. The pretzel IS in fact deep fried, I wanted to try it and I must say I will not order it again. For the Tacos, I don't know, I feel like they were talked up but left me wondering why they were special. I would not order these again if we came back to this tavern.

    I can see the charm of the river domes, but we had to make a reservation to get one and there was…read moreno one else in any of the other ones when we were there. In fact, at 7 pm on a Thursday, there wasn't even a dozen people in the restaurant to begin with. Everything was decorated for Valentine's Day which was a cute addition. The domes are also heated which made things nice, but you can't really see the river which is the point of the domes. Additionally, our server didn't really check on us and it took a while to get the condiments missing when the food arrived. We ordered a variety of items with the ny strip being the best of what we tried. The au jus was rather bland, the fries were crispy but had no flavor, the fish was quickly soggy due to all the oil not being drained. We added on hush puppies to the fish and chips.... $5 for 5 hush puppies. Would not suggest doing that, not worth the up charge. There is an eclectic mix of things on the menu but nothing that would lead me to recommend someone to try this place. The beer selection was great however so if you are looking for a place to grab a drink, the tap room feels like a great option. The restaurant however is more for vibes than a quality meal.

    This spot was incredibly disappointing. Came recommended by some locals, was packed to the gills…read morewhen we arrived, seemed like a very popular and desirable place to eat. Service was great. Classic midwestern friendliness. The views were fantastic. All the boxes were checked but the food. When I saw the menu, I had a feeling, this place is going to do nothing great, because they have a touch of everything. We of course didn't eat everything, so can't say for sure, but the food we ordered was far from mind blowing. The prices and popularity would have you thinking you were about to have food that at least exceeds fast food quality, but that was not the case. I've had fast food chicken fingers (from places that focus on chicken) with much more flavor and texture. They do beer well. It is a brewery after all. But I would not return for the food.
