"Food was deliscious. Service was fine. However, will probably never go back due to their blatantly political decor, tv selection, etc. Made my wife and I feel very out of place. I support their right to free speech but due to overt support of one side of the political fence, it clearly alienates folks who don't lean the same way. Good food though"

"Interesting little gem tucked out of sight with a heck of a view. Great food, service and eclectic decor. We were disappointed the deck was closed off for our stay but we still enjoyed the river and fried fish from a cute table by the window."

"WHOA!! Seriously. If you want to find something that is truly like NOTHING else in this region. Here you go. I'm not sure exactly why this doesn't have a five-star rating. It has to be a few instances where a few people were not perfectly satisfied. The food here is fantastic, especially the perch, the service was outstanding and our food came out very quickly. The atmosphere is second to none, especially if you love '80s collectibles. What's most amazing is sitting down along the riverbank on a beautiful evening on their outside deck. The part that really makes this a Top Choice if that the prices are very reasonable."
