This restaurant is located right on the Iowa River with large windows providing a nice view. The building used to be an industrial building and many of the riggings are still present and provide a fun atmosphere. The menu is on the pricier side ($18-$30+). Steaks are the main attraction. Meals are served with bread, salad, veggies, and starch side... More

While the University of Iowa is in session, this place is usually very popular with parents visiting their UI student. Because of this, I highly suggest that reservations be made at least a day or two in advance. The view overlooking the river is the main reason we come here and have done so on several occasions. We stroll across... More

Had a late dinner on Mother's Day. We really enjoyed the view. The interior is a little run down. Furniture could use updating. The service was good and the food ok. Overall a little pricey for the overall experience.

Visited the Iowa City Power Co. Restaurant to celebrate my niece's graduation from law school. We were able to get a table with a beautiful view of the river. Service was a little slow because the place was packed, but the excellent food made up for it. I had the filet of beef and it was cooked perfectly. The waiter... More

Very nice and complete food offering which is well presented. The views of the river are an added plus. The staff is friendly and always on the ball re-filling dishes despite the big Brunch crowds. We were a large party of eight but were seated on time and attended to by our server as needed. A great value overall in... More

They have the best and most complete brunch buffet in the Iowa City area. The quality of the food is always good, and there is always a wide variety of options to choose from. This is our go-to restaurant for special occasions too (not just a brunch place!)

This place has it all. View, high quality cuisine, charming, helpful servers, reasonable prices, although on the high side and complimentary mimosas oftentimes served with brunch.

Extensive menu selection, staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices were not out of line. Very pretty if you are able to get a table by the windows and look out over the river and dam. Would defintely return when in the area.

Colleague and I went here on a Wednesday night. We called ahead because we weren’t sure how busy they would get. They were busy but we requested and received a table by the river. It was really easy to find. It had a really cool historical atmosphere. The bar and a few tables are located in the old “garage”. This... More

We went there for valentines day and the view was beautiful looking out at the river, even though there is construction going on outside along the river. The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was always around with anything we needed. The food was so great we ordered appetizers to take back home. This was worth the drive from... More
