As others have said, the service is lackluster (with the exception of one handsome waiter from North Carolina - see I even remember where he was from!)... Lunch prices are reasonable, dinner is not so much. The reason to come here is for the waterfront patio. There is no view to match it for miles. Just gorgeous. Enjoy the ducks.

Patio dining view is AMAZING... right on the water. Service was so-so. I was charged for something I didn't order. Owner was very nice though Worst rib eye steak I've ever had. EXPENSIVE!!!!

We got a recommendation from a local on where to eat while driving through here. Can not thank her enough! We were quickly greeted and asked if we would like to sit outside on the patio.

The clerk at our hotel suggested this restaurant and we were pleased we followed her lead! We ate on the patio riverside and enjoyed the running waters. The food was good, service was lovely. I had salmon that was wonderfully prepared, my husband's favorite item was the chocolate lava cake. I'd definitely eat here again!

We found this restaurant listed in the motel directory. They listed vegetarian options. We ended up eating there twice during a three-day stay in Three Rivers. The restaurant overlooks part of the Kaweah River. The outside eating area is actually over the river. It was an awesome place to eat and watch the swiftly flowing waters of the river. The... More

Our dinner here was very nice. The food and service were well done. We sat outside by the river and enjoyed the sounds of the water and birds. It was a very nice experience and I would go there again.

This was a very pleasant surprise!! The restaurant was recommended by the desk staff at the hotel we stayed at. Driving up, it looks like a bar. Once you get inside, there is a bar area but the dining area has white table cloths and it even has outdoor seating next to the river. We chose to be out by... More

Place to go when you need food to eat near your lodging. Small town place, nothing super special. Bar was alright and bartender was fine to talk to. Local crowd was a little off..
