The Asian tri tip mango wrap was really good. Fresh and delish! Would definitely recommend it. Reasonable prices. And the outdoor deck was so nice.
We ordered soup of the day, sandwich and drinks. Everything was delicious and made to perfection. I also enjoyed their ginger brew hot. Exactly what I needed on a cold day. On top of everything - a spectacular view on the river. The service was quick and efficient.
