This was my 1st visit in years and it is now under new ownership. The view is absolutely beautiful with windows facing the river as I suppose the reason for the namesake. I must say the quality has really upgraded and you won’t go away hungry! I would have given it a 5 star except one of the things that irk me is being comfortable. Do bring a sweater or light jacket if you are not able to get a seat near the gas fireplaces. The decor could also need some updating and warm/inviting touches but I’m sure that will come in time so there’s room for improvement there yet.

I searched “restaurants with a view” and it did not disappoint. Delicious meal. We had stuffed bell pepper soup and salad, the steak with shrimp in wine sauce, and homemade Dutch apple pie. Very pleasant waitress. Business was slow (it was a Thursday though) and restaurant food is deserving of being a busy establishment. It is under new management which sounds like some good positive improvements will happen internally.

The eggs come to your table exactly the way you ordered them. The waitress who brings them gives plenty of coffee and smiles. You are seated far from other customers and the restaurant is clean. These are just some of the good reasons to eat here. The view is terrific too.

The temperature was on the warm side due to insufficient AC but it was 100 degrees outside. And of course those large windows, that such a great view, didn’t help any. The food is good and well presented and hot.

Even for new waitress, wasn’t very attentive to our table. The food didn’t taste good at all. Best thing about it was the fries … Our steaks looked like they were boiled and tasted rubbery. Was very disappointed especially since too my parents there for the first time, and they aren’t from around here and wanted a nice dinner…but that didn’t happen.

Under new ownership. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and they have a fantastic view of the river from the dining room. Has a cozy little dive bar attached. The staff is fun and friendly, the biscuits and gravy are delicious and I have never tasted a better pecan pie.

If you are visiting like we were I recommend you avoid this place. Yes, the location is great but the food, service, and amenities are severely lacking. Our server kept coughing, wiping her nose and reeked of cigarettes. The menus had items on them that had been crossed off with sharpie and I ordered a salad and for an extra $6 only got 4 pcs of shrimp. The fish and chips were over cooked and my husband’s cod was a quarter of a filet. Oh, and to top it all off I wanted a cocktail and was informed that the established had their liquor license temporarily suspended. Just a subpar experience all around.

Probably the worst breakfast I have had in years. Chicken fried steak was undercooked and tough, hashbrowns did not even taste like potatoes, asked for extra crispy nope. Eggs were undercooked, never seen a pancake so thin unless was a crepe. Bacon was floppy and greasy. We left almost all of our food on the plate and left. When cashing out our server had to find change and said she was sorry this is what happens when the owners don’t care. My advice is get the big breakfast at Burger King or McDonald’s better quality.

Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Pricing Is compatible with a comparison of a steakhouse. If you order steak and like it well done like i do. Tell them to burn it lol mine was very rare. Adult beverages were very well made.
