Absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! Came here to celebrate my best friend’s graduation from her masters program and the manager was so thoughtful to read my note on open table about why we were there to celebrate and made a point to congratulate her himself. We dined outside on the deck with a stunning view of the river and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We were visiting from out of town and would go here again in a heartbeat.

Delays and more delays. Much of the blame was put on their system, but even taking our order was nearly 45 minutes into our meal. We did not complain; however, they did comp our meal. The food was fresh but not overwhelmingly good for the cost.

We sat outside and it was great. My sister and I were celebrating her graduating college and we both got the steak. It was good but I gave the food 4 stars because the sauce for the steak was spicy, for me. It doesn't take much to make it too spicy for me but there was no indication in the description that it would be spicy. Usually if they say it's made with pepper, that's enough to make me stay away from it but there was no mention of anything that I would consider spicy. I had to eat the steak without the sauce and while it was good, I mainly got it for the description of the sauce. So if I'd known it was spicy, I'd have ordered something else. My sister agreed it was a bit spicy but she ate it ok. A little more expensive then most restaurants and not enough for to take some home but I knew when I picked it I'd be partly paying for the ambience of dining on the river and that did not dissapoint. They had bird feeders in the back so you could watch birds, canadian geese, and the river. They also had fans on the deck which my sister appreciated but I didn't feel it was too hot without them.

If you can sit outside I think the experience will be much better - it is incredibly noisy inside. We found the salad delicious, but the main courses lacked flavor. Definitely paid way too much here for the quality of food.

Last night was marvelous! We had a delightful time together. Everyone's meal was exquisite. We were in an area where it was quiet and we could talk to each other. The service was impeccable. It is so nice to be able to spend time out with friends again.

I love this restaurant! We sat on the deck overlooking the Arkansas River and had an exceptional meal. The soups we had were perfectly seasoned. The pace of the meal was perfect. My shrimp was tasty and placed on orzo with a fruit compote sauce that paired well with the shrimp. The crowning touch was the creme brulee. We tried both offerings. The chocolate version was rich and very creamy. Perfect crack when we it spooned out. The white chocolate with strawberries was great as well. It had a really nice backnote of strawberries. Will definitely revisit this restaurant.
