    It was our first visit to The Pump House and it proved to be an excellent choice. Our server was excellent and the food was very good. It's a roomy and comfortable setting and dinner on the patio overlooking the river was nice. I loved the uniqueness of the historic building.

    Great experience again. Sat on the 5th floor great view but louder with the bar area. 4th floor suggestion for a more intimate dinner. Food was great. Scallops and salmon were a new try this time. Peach cobbler and chocolate lava cake are a must try.

    Ambiance and service, great as always. Cocktails were great, cornbread is great. But a rare miss on most of the food. We’ve dined here quite a bit in the last 5 years, and this dinner was definitely sub-par. Fried okra was fine, we prefer it sliced lengthwise as they’ve done in the past. Does it change the flavor? No. But a basket of okra fries feels more upscale than a bowl of sliced fried okra. Yes, it was fresh okra. Yes, it was hot and good. It’s just the unceremonious pile of sliced okra in a bowl. Felt like I was at a meat and 3. But that’s a small complaint. The ribeye was…not stellar. I’ve started ordering medium, because usually mid-rare results in a rare steak (not necessarily at PH, just in general) and ribeyes eat better towards medium. My steak was on the far side of mid well. Very gray with a small hint of pink in the middle. It was tough, yet the fat cap hadn’t rendered and was chewy. Sauce was fine, mashed was fine if lacking salt, but the “Tabasco fried onions” were just fried onions. No hint of any Tabasco flavor, spice, etc. But, they were a garnish so no big deal. My better half 99% of the time gets scallops, as she did this time. They were very, very overcooked, and she prefers her seafood overcooked in general. But this was even too much for her. Solid white and tough all the way through, not translucent and soft on the inside. Very dry. They appeared smaller than in dinners past, and she only got 4. I seem to remember getting 5. The risotto was…odd. There was a mix of what tasted good, and then some very al dente rice grains mixed in. We aren’t complainers, and the food was definitely edible. But there was some sadness, as PH has been an absolute banger for us every other time we’ve been. We hope this was just an off night. It happens, but it shouldn’t be frequent. And this was on a Friday evening. We will absolutely return, and hope the gremlins have disappeared.

    This was our second time at Pump House for dinner, service was exceptional as always and they got our party of 6 seated promptly when we got there. Drinks and appetizers were AWESOME, the main dishes were great but not amazing, except for the trout which was the best thing of the night. In the future I hope they change up the menu more… it was exactly the same as what they offered 1.5yrs ago the first time I came here for dinner. Overall an awesome place to come for a nice dinner.

    I met someone here yesterday for a first date. It was my first time coming, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Johnny, our waiter, was attentive and very responsive to our questions. He did a good job going over the menu and giving us options to fit our different tastes. I look forward to going back.
