The historic house provided a wonderful atmosphere and a great view of the Mississippi below. Ordered cocktails, salmon, turkey dinner, and chocolate chip cookie with ice cream dessert. Everything was delicious! They had local spirits from Mississippi River Distilling. I ate just the right amount of food. As a garlic lover, the garlic salad was awesome! My husband could have eaten more, but was satisfied with the quality of food.Vegetarian options: The entire menu is limited (but good). They offer vegetarian pasta and salads

We have ate at this place numerous times for lunch. It was a little overpriced but the food was average or above. We had reservations this past Sunday for your brunch at 11:30. There was eight of us and a one year old. When we got there we had to find our table, because you had one waitress! The buffet wasn't stocked and all the time we was there you were constantly out of food. We were done eating before our granddaughter could get any food. The potatoes were so salty that you couldn't eat them. Your menu said you had Bananas foster bread pudding, but we was told that you ran out and the pan in the oven wouldn't be ready any time soon. This was a horrible experience for myself and my family.

Stopped by recently with a small herd of family. We shared the baked brie and the pelican's nest, both were yummy. I had the grilled cheese sandwich (very good, I was worried about the Bourbon aioli being too strong, but it was subdued) with the (not heavily) loaded mashed potatoes. Dessert was a pair of subtly orange crepes. Service was good, one of my cousins recognized our waiter from a previous position of his at another local restaurant.

Excellent range of food for large and small appetites, friendly and knowledgeable service. The smaller rooms reduce ambient noise and allow intimate conversation.

Had lunch here the other day. Lovely view of the Mississippi RiverDining atmosphere is unique as its in and old mansion, loved looking around during lunch and noticing architectural details. Food was excellent. Soup of the day was a cheesy corn chowder which I have never had anywhere else and was delicious. Everyone I was dining with loved the food they ordered. Service was excellent and friendly.

I was invited to the Drag Brunch here! The performance was amazing and the food was even better everything they served was delicious! The atmosphere was perfect as well I loved the old fire places and the overly large mirrors. Such a beautiful set up. I will be visiting again!Parking: Small parking lot so when it is full you will have to park on the street.

Such a welcoming and charming spot overlooking the Mississippi. Staff are prepared to figure out gluten free and dairy free options. Delicious food! And an lgbtq safe space!

This location has changed. Only 2 servers, working their butts off, slow service, slow food, my food was just Warm, and did not taste as in the past. Use to love their menu, but now they cut it in half, and what they have is now, is just Average. Very Sad. Moving On.

This Sunday brunch is a good value. Not a wide selection, and the same thing every weekend, but is good quality for less than you would think. Great atmosphere I've only eaten dinner once and it was good. The service is excellent. So.
