We brought guests from out of town, and they loved sitting right in the beautiful river. We were celebrating a birthday, and they went above and beyond to make it special with customized menus and a special dessert. Plus all the food was amazing as usual.

The noise level was extreme, very extreme. Club music playing loudly and tables close together. We literally had to shout and could hear every conversation at tables around us. That being said, the pizza was amazing!
