We were in the glass room that has the beautiful views. The food was hot and delicious! The coleslaw was just right! The sweet tea mixed with lemonade was perfect! Our server was very organized and refilled our drinks upon request. She was courteous while being busy and taking care of a lot of people. I wish I had gotten her name.
We were there between 12-2 pm, so one of the employees there at that time was AWESOME! (my husband gave her a generous tip)
The river view was so pretty! Wish we had been able to have time to take a walk. There were about 15-20 people in our group. The ONE star for Atmosphere is because there was live music inside the glass room with us. The music was SO LOUD that we couldn't even converse with each other. It really increased my tinnitus flare up in my ears. I even POLITELY ASKED THE MAN, I guess he was a DJ to PLEASE turn it down. I wasn't the only one that was very bothered by it. He said "IT IS TURNED DOWN". I just walked away. Wasn't worth the stress. He was rude. That is why I am giving one star for atmosphere. Everything else was very nice. It would be nice if the plastic-ware had both a fork and knife in it with some packets of salt and pepper. Thank you to King Fish for the Delicious meal. Please talk to your DJ. When SEVERAL customers are being bothered by OVERLY LOUD and NOT EVEN good music it took away from the day. Thank you.
