Excellent service, excellent food, nice atmosphere. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the catfish sandwich, but I also had 1/2 of my wife's Croque Madame. That was awesome! Obviously we won't be returning, but if you live here (or close), you should go.

There was one very minor issue with my wife's dinner and before I had a chance to say ANYTHING...it was taken off our bill as a comp by the Manager. All in all this was a perfect location for a nice quiet casual dinner with my wife as we watched the water. BRAVO! Paul & Coleen Clapper, Syracuse, NY

Beautiful view of the river, in a cute downtown area, plenty of off street parking. We went for lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't packed, quite a few at the tables filled but service remained attentive. Best bartender too!

We held a retirement party in the Florida room on August 23rd we were beyond disappointed by…read moreeverything. We arrived to decorate for the party the room was filthy, no air was turned on it was steaming hot we asked for the air to be turned on and they did, when we arrived back for the party it was still so hot. It was raining out when we arrived for the party and the ceiling was leaking in two spots when I said something I was told hopefully it will stop raining the carpet was soaked and the room smelled musty. The food was set up on the dance floor and served late and very slow to be moved after dinner so no dancing could happen for the first two hours of the party. The food was only what I can imagine was prison quality food it was slop by my standards. Seafood newburg was served and was not labeled one of my guest was allergic to seafood and ate it. They had plastic plates instead of china and they were lunch sized plates. Our meal included coffee and tea and it was never served or set up anywhere. We told them we had 90 rsvp's but wanted the room set for 98, we had about 85 people we were charged for 98. There was a 24 percent service charge added to our bill then he said are you leaving the girls a tip? Of course we did but what was the 24 percent? While we were all dancing all of our man in the moon chocolate favors and the bowls of chocolate kisses were taken from our tables when they were picking up. I was honestly so embarrassed by the whole experience I will promise I will never step foot in the place again. The bathrooms were scary disgusting and the men's room was tore apart . One star would be generous.

There was nobody in there but us, and it was very quiet which was different since we usually go on weekends. It was interesting, just didn't know that was the vibe on weekdays. The bartender helped us immediately and we got out drink quickly. Now, my complaint is the price. This small cheese board was $25, it doesn't look as small in the pictures, but I promise the board was TINY. A quarter of a baguette, prepackaged olives, a few bites of cheese each? NOT worth the money. If I come back, I will not be getting any food that's for sure..::

I was kind of hesitant to stop here as some of the other reviews weren't so pleasant, however we…read moreactually stayed at the hotel that this restaurant is in and just to make sure being a bar and grill I wanted to see what they had so we checked out the menu before sitting and yeah, no problem I can't remember the name of the way Chris but she was awesome very attentive and helped my wife out with a drink but I'll get that out in a minute. We started with appetizers and we were very impressed. I had some fish strips and she had some clams, and both were very tasty. After this I ordered a fake haddock beer battered onion rings and she had a macaroni and cheese with seafood. Everything tasted just wonderful. It was a nice breezy evening and we sat out on the porch overlooking the river which was only about 100 yd from the lake anyway. The part I wanted to brag about was when my wife showed me the cocktail menu and asked what she thought I would think she would like and I mean this light-heartedly because my wife does not like the taste of alcohol. There's only one particular flavor of wine for example that she can have and I've tried it, it tastes like a spoonful of sugar, I'm not a big fan.. but either way they didn't have that there and nothing else on the cocktail menu looked to me like she was going to enjoy it however I had a video that I had saved from you too a year ago of oranda bartender making a drink that could be served to people that don't like the taste of alcohol. I'm not going to go into what was in it here however I showed the ingredient list to the waitress and asked her if she thought that the bar would have all of that and she replied yes so she wrote down to each individual ingredient and came back with this cool looking glass full of pinkish liquid it had two oz of alcohol in it according to the list I gave her, and my wife absolutely loved it. So basically from a waitress telling a bartender. Here's what I want but I don't know the name of it, but here's what's in it... They nailed it. . Add that to everything else that went splendidly, and yeah I would definitely come here again.

It is basement level and just a black unmarked door opens to the staircase leading down, that has clear signage. It definitely is like stepping back in time and there's no Wi-Fi service so guests are enjoying the live music or socializing! We ordered pretty quickly at the bar, we were not offered menus so I'm not sure what their signature cocktails are. Ordered a martini requested fruity, I believe it was raspberry not sure and a dark red for my friend. We sat in some cozy velvet purple chairs in the lounge area enjoying live Jazz music. My friend recalls this was a downstairs dining area for Burger King in the 80's-early 90's. The bar and Bath Room could be a bit tidier, but otherwise fun retro vibe. There is an historical piston machine on display that was used to run the building's original elevator utilizing steam! And now serves as decor and remanence of past decades.
