Great view of river. Lunch prices are half the price of dinner prices, so I reccomend lunch. Go for the seafood. Food is good but I would not say excellent.

Beeb to bonefish several times and never had a bad meal. Usually order the crab cake appetizer as my main course with another appetizer or salad. Nice seasoning and not overly breaded.
