Beautiful place for lunch or dinner out on the patio above the river. Service seemed too much on the laid back side and we were served our salads without silverware. We sent back the hot corn and crab dip for being too rich and salty. Food looked a little old (soggy watermelon pieces and gray cabbage in the tacos). Probably wouldn't come back but happy to mark it off the list because the place is beautiful.
