Loved the atmosphere here! Must be 18 to enter. Food was delicious. Ordered the cheese burger medium, but it was well done. Didn’t mind because it still tasted good. Fries were spot on. Wife had the tenderloin. Huge! Very meaty and tasty. They had live entertainment outside and the view was awesome.

Went to visit friends and decided to try out this place. The riverside has indoor and outdoor eating along with a fire pit and a river next to it the inside has a bar on one side and family dining on the other. It wasn’tloud and you could have a normal conversation, the food was excellent and we were able to substitute items or told them about food allergies we had so they made possible for us to eat there and the waitress was kind, helpful and didn’t over bother you while you were eating.

Love the place. We’ve never had a bad meal there, no matter what we’ve ordered. Especially partial to their chicken livers, our favorite appetizer. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Always worth the money.

Cons: The place is run down looking, inside and out. The carpet was so sticky the heels of my sandles stuck to the floor with each step. It was a Friday night the Prime Rib was available on Friday & Sat., so I ordered the king cut, cooked medium. It came to the table with alot of strong smelling parsley sprinkled on top. It was cooked Med. Well, was tough chewing and tasted mostly like parsley. My husband ordered the yellow perch. He ate it, but said it was way over cooked. We are not complainers, but with these items being expensive, we felt the need to say something to the waitress.

1st time eating here. Tried the smelt. It was good. Preferred the calamari more. Tenderloin was big enough for us to share. It was tender, juicy and had just the right amount of seasonings on it.

One of our favorite restaurants in Monticello. Get there early if you want prime rib. They sell out quick!
