While the food is only so so, the nostalgia of this place is undeniable, and the views of the Delta are amazing. The staff are great, which makes up for the mediocre food.

We had fabulous pizza ?. It was different and delicious. We also enjoyed karaoke and dancing... ?Parking: Parking is good for disability people. They should be able to park on top next to the restaurant. There is plenty of parking down below, but you do have to walk up a few stairs to reach the restaurant.?Kid-friendliness: Everyone is very nice. I love it when the owner is there, she is a fun person. ?I also wanted to say having a water view is a beautiful thing! ?

First time there in probably 5 years. Still the same rustic feel to the place but big screen TVs now allow watching games from any seat in the house.Service was friendly and prompt. All four of us finished our lunches and enjoyed both the food and fairly generous libations.There aren't too many places left open on the Delta for lunch. This is a survivor and deserves to be there.

it was the worst food ive ever eaten i had steak and prawns the steak was so well done u couldnt chew it it and the prawns were burnt and couldnt eat them .i played tug of war with my dog to see if he could rip the tails off it was tough he won.i also ordered the fish n chips thatwas ok .you get one piece of fish dont worry about calories u burn them off walking up the hill. atmosphere is always nice but it cost me 90.00 dollars and that was stright up robbery .i would have preferred to get jacked then i know it was happenening rather than this eliment of surprise.dinner sucked i threw it away could not even salvage it. save your money

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It looks like an old dive bar but it is so much more than that. It is not a large place but there is seating inside and a really nice area outside with great views of the delta. The food is great! We started with lumpia and we really enjoyed it. They also brought us warm bread with oil and balsamic vinegar and the balsamic was outstanding, super smooth and very flavorful. The soup of the day was lasagna soup. What is lasagna soup I had no idea until I had it here and it was delicious. I had ribeye steak oscar and I am usually hesitant to try this type of dish especially at a new place. I am really glad I ordered this. The steak was cooked perfectly and the crab was really fresh and cooked correctly. I could be wrong but the hollandaise sauce tasted like it was from scratch. My lovely wife had the steak and lobster with baked potato. Steak was medium rear exactly as we asked and the lobster was a good size and once again cooked perfectly. They have specials every day and we will definitely be going back. If you are looking for fine dining this isn't it but if you are looking for a fun place for cocktails and a really tasty dinner with wait staff that are really fun to interact with this is the place.
