Showing a beautiful home in Batesville today and ate here. The atmosphere was wonderful, loved the view of the river. Food was delicious. Sweet tea was great. Ordered a half order of Cajun pasta with shrimp . I could only eat a portion of it, if hate to see what a full order looks like! I would definitely recommend it. Hubby had the fish dinner and he said it was really good. Didn’t get a picture of it. A lot of food!

My husband, our child and I had a wonderful experience here! Food was great, the waittress was awesome and the view is amazing. Prices were a tad bit more than what I typically see but I suspect it is because of the proximity to the river. I got the half order of the penne pasta with shrimp and it filled me up and tasted great! Both my husband and our child loved their food. If you have room for dessert, I highly recommend the cheesecake. Great place for food and I would definitely recommend.

We had our 30 year class reunion here and the staff and food were excellent. They gave us our own private room for our group of 40 people. Even with people mingling and catching up on 30 years of their lives, the staff made their way around and got orders for everyone. I know it was not easy for the staff but they did an excellent job! Food was great! Service was excellent, 5 stars plus in my book!

This place has changed several times! Now it’s great!! Great food!! Great bar! It’s a great place to go! The prices are a little high, but that’s because of the quality of food you’re getting! I just wish they were open on Sundays!!

Horrible service. Been here an hour and 15 min. Took 8 min to get our drink order taken. Took 40 min to get a side salad. Hubby waited 30 min for a beer that he ordered when our drink order was taken. This place isn’t even half full when we walked in and after an hour and 15 min more than half of those tables left. We are at an hour and 20 min to get our food. We won’t be back

Had the fish filet (crispy) came with 3 sides and there was more than enough food for anyone. The bread pudding was great! For the amount of food you get it’s totally worth the price.

Service is great! Very friendly and the server tried. The food is less than edible. As a steakhouse you should be able to order a rare steak that it at least room temperature. It shouldn’t taste as if it was pulled out of the refrigerator and served to you. When you ask for it to be warmed up, it should be warmed on both sides. It shouldn’t be crispy on one side while still frozen on the other. Even if it was room temperature, it should have a better than sonic taste to it. It’s sad when your baked potato what the best thing you ordered. I won’t be back and I wouldn’t recommend you try it; unless, you go for the potato or some other dish I haven’t tried or will not ever try. The atmosphere is cafeteria style with a fabulous view of the water.

This was my first time coming here, the food was great, a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. Service started good, but then our waitress started ignoring us, and we had to have someone get her so that my party could pay. However, it was prom night and I’m sure she was probably afraid we weren’t going to tip. Will absolutely visit again regardless of service the first time
