Food was very good and tasty! But nothing spoils good food than bad service. The server wasn’t attentive and was kind of annoying. He wasn’t sure what we ordered because he didn’t write down or recap what we ordered if he did memorize it. So he had to go back to our table to confirm. Also the chairs and menu cards were dirty and very noticable once we sat down. Just small details that matters and would have complemented the food which we really enjoyed because it was really yummy.

An excellent restaurant and a historic location overhanging the Red River. Beautiful renovation of an old historic building in the East Exchange District. Food and service was terrific! Been many times for pre-theatre dining and will always come back.

The space was very welcoming. Staff were attentive and friendly. Bruschetta was the favorite dish, pizza was close second. And the fried chicken sandwich was very good, just could have used a punchier sauce. Had a great evening.
