The food was amazing! Our service was kind and quick, and we sat outside, so the view was great. They have a lot of gluten-free and vegetarian options. Their salads were huge and delicious. I highly recommend that if you come to visit, check this restaurant out. Inside, they have air conditioning, so if you’ve been running around in the heat all day, this is a great place to relax.

We visited this location inside the Whitewater center because we were looking for something other than burgers and wraps. It’s a super chill spot with a great view of the Center’s activities. We were initially excited about the menu and all items arrived looking great, however most of the items fell below our expectations. The Shrimp ceviche was so pretty, yet it was 4 small bite size servings that left us wanting much more for the price – the jalapeno was the biggest item on the plate. I specifically asked if the wings were crispy and the Waitress enthusiastically responded that they were and stated they tasted great. They did not meet my criteria of crispy nor was the flavor particularly appealing. The steak was tough and overcooked. The salad with Salmon was good 🙂 Service was good. We would return to grab a cider and an outdoor seat, but that’s about it.

The food was really good and the view was awesome to see the river from the patio. We had wings and burgers and fried pickles, all were great!

Great restaurant! Went there for a work conference and was not disappointed. Service was prompt and courteous. Excellent beer selection. Despite being quite busy our our was taken rather quickly, and the food was delivered quickly as well. The chicken wing and nacho appetizers were delicious, the wings were a dry rub that was amazing. The wings were meaty too. I could’ve made meal in itself of just the wings but unfortunately I had to share with others. Bummer! My main course was the chicken wrap with green beans. Both were excellent! Their green beans are my side of choice because they’re fresh and very delicious. I’ve had their burgers before and they’re an excellent choice too. Prices are reasonable but combined with the quality of food, excellent service, and location it is a great value. Facilities are very clean and well maintained as well.

I don’t know how this place only has 3.8 star rating! We all enjoyed the food and environment during our Saturday visit. The portion of the food is very generous, which is great for all the outdoor activities we did prior to that.

Good restaurant, slightly expensive food but that’s to be expected. If you sit outside during a live event, be prepared to not be able to hear other people at your table. Other then that, five stars.

My experience was sadly not that great. The wait times are quite long and you can see food laying all over the tables, which weren’t cleaned. I took the burger which was quite expensive and really not worth it. It wasn’t good and tasted like a 2,00$ burger at a fastfood place. The view is good and the service is okay. Next time I’ll try another place.

My family came on a rainy day after rafting. We were seated inside. Our chicken and steak sandwich’s were very dry. HALF WAY through our meal a man came up to us saying we were not allowed to be in the restaurant because I was wearing a bathing suit top and the boys in swim trunks. We were very confused by this. I’m not sure why he would even say anything since we were already in there and almost done eating our food. It seemed like he just wanted to tell us that to exert some power. Our waitress was inattentive as well. We kept having to ask the other servers to grab us things like straws, napkins, sauces, appetizers. Overall not an experience we’d like to have again.
