It was raining but the venue could be opened to experience the over the river views. Decor rugged with modern fixtures. Sound system needs to be updated. Lightening did set the tone and ambiance for the occasion.Double door entrances on both ends and movable partitions. Presentation of the food was beautiful. Some of the entrees were okay. Tea was not sweet at all. Guest asked for more packets of sugar. Over all staff was pleasant and courteous. Definitely suggest having events here rain, snow or sunshine. You can even walk out and have an intimate setting on the porch and walk along the river. Amazing photo ops! Oh restrooms were well maintained.

Little upscale restaurant with a nice view of river. The food is decent but, not worth of the money you pay. But the money is worth for the wonderful view and the ambience, certainly perfect for a first date. I have been here twice, once for lunch and the other for dinner. They provided complimentary breads with butter to start. Next, we ordered crab claws as the appetiser, which was pretty expensive ! In the main entree, I took the salmon, which was pretty mediocre one. We finished our meal with a dessert, a Mississippi mud cake. It looks fancy, however not the best one.

Nice river views from dining area, river level sidewalk is great for family photos. Large portions of comfort food. We had catfish po boy, buffalo shrimp, and a grilled chicken salad – all good. Hannah’s service was super.

A Tuscaloosa classic and still as delicious as I remember! I recommend the Catfish and Gouda Grits- they were superb! Service is always impeccable and the view is great and lends to the refined, yet relaxed feeling of the restaurant. Highly recommended!

Our food was delicious as always. I ordered the Cypress Inn Smoked Chicken with a bowl of gumbo and my wife ordered the fried catfish (lightly battered and not greasy) Everything came out very quickly and our server did a great job. I would recommend these two classic dishes to anyone visiting.
