Came for brunch. Food was great, bartender was willing to accommodate my request for a specific drink, and the waitress was darling. Would recommend for an outing with friends.

Nice place on the River to enjoy a drink or meal with a nice view. Things run on river time here so don’t expect to run in and out.

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The setting is historic and beautiful. The food…wow! My husband and I ordered the fried calamari, and it was so fresh, crispy and seasoned to perfection. Next, we shared the Captain’s Platter. It was more than enough for the 2 of us. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. We were both very satisfied. I must add, the staff are extremely friendly. We live about an hour away, but will definitely visit The 51 House again!!!

First visit. Went for our Anniversary. Restaurant was not busy as only a few tables were seated before us. Server was great. Ordered Oysters Rocky Balboa as an appetizer. Their spin on these were good. I ordered prime rib, medium rare and “Our” gratin potatoes. Wife ordered bacon wrapped scallops. After a very, very length wait the food arrived room temperature at best. Prime rib was done through out, not even near medium rare. Wife’s seafood plate was entirely at room temperature. Not what we expected out of a Trip Advisor recommended restaurant! Probably our one and only visit!

Had a party of 4, no reservations, and it was a Saturday night. They were busy, and looked very rushed. I ordered prime rib rare. It took 2 hours for the food to find ally come out, and the prime rib was well done, roast beef well done.

Went there with my husband and his parents. Only one other couple in the whole place but the service was still extremely slow. My husband ordered a shrimp platter and the shrimp was RAW! They did not apologize or try in anyway to make it better. They did take his platter off the order. Our drinks were not refilled, and we finally had to get up and pay our bill in the front. No worth the price.

My wife & I had dinner here for our anniversary – the service was superb! I think that over the course of our visit, every single one of the staff stopped by to check on us and wish us a happy anniversary.
