Our stars are based on our off-season dinner visit. The food was good; the service excellent - but there were few patrons at that time. We understand that during high-season, the Grille can get crazy busy. We certainly will revisit for lunch on the River.

Steak wasn’t cooked to our request. My medium-rare was rare & my wife’s medium-well was medium-rare. Server, Kendra was super friendly and quick, but forgot stuff like our water. Nice restaurant but lighting was too bright. Didn’t “fit” ambience. If lighting was right, you can see water outside not reflection. I’m happy they renovated. It’s nice. Now, it’s time to elevate. One last thing - upgrade silverware. If you’re going to serve filet mignon, invest in steak knives. The silver ware you use are like my grandmas.

The fries were VERY good. The rest of the food was ok but the rest of our meals were uninspiring. My daughter had a Caesar Salad with Chicken - it was not a side salad but was supposed to the meal salad - It was small and the chicken was not grilled or spiced. One of the ladies has fish and chips - that looked good but was greasy. Anyway all in all, our food was kind of blah. The ambiance was great, I would go back - maybe try a burger this time.

The server was very sweet. The food was not up to par with the chicken breast on the salad that was chilled from prepackaged food. My husbands steak sandwich had too mostly fat and not too much meat.

Walked in and was early for reservation. There is no host manning the desk when you come in. Saw waitstaff and none acknowledged us, didn't make eye contact. Sat down to wait and a waitress walked out with food for a possible door dash and seemed resigned to ask if we had been helped yet. I told her we hadn't and were a bit early. She rather abuptly said, "Your choices are a table or booth", we wanted a window view (reserved) but was fine as they were already taken and we were hungry. Drinks barely had alcohol. Meal was ok, suprised how less food you get for the cost. The ambience is fantastic, just need to work on the waitstaff being a bit more pleasant.

Poor service. More interested in talking with regulars than providing service. Ingredient missing on one dish and mediocre food quality. Our second and last visit. Very disappointing as there isn't much choice in the area.

The food and the environment was amazing We just didn’t like that we asked for accommodations for a meal and were told they would check on it and get back to us. But we never got the update information. I also didn’t like that the waitress didn’t really check on us. She wasn’t really busy at all and thought I’d get checked on more.

Although we had a wonderful server, the very unorganized karaoke was very loud and made it almost impossible to have dinner conversations. My Pesto Pasta was flavorless, although one of my companions said the Chicken strips were very good. The atmosphere is cold nd not welcoming. This is too bad as this area really could use another nice restaurant choice.
