"In one of our dishes, the vegetables had not been washed properly and had the sand texture through the dish. Very junior waitress told us incorrect fish, which my friend oredered and was most disappointed with. Tried to discuss our disappointment with more senior waiter, he didn't care or pass on to chef / management. Most of the food was delicious but these issues soured our experience."

Great location for a 21st - though it was a little noisy - but that is to be expected when dinning in an open restaurant. Service was great!   (August, 2008)

Made to feel very welcome by the ever smiling Mark. What a great restaurant, the food was very good and cooked to perfection. The menu is interesting and wine selection equals. A beautiful view to the river, but most of all the friendliness and attention displayed by staff was a key to our enjoyment.   (July, 2008)
