Outstanding! We had a Riverside patio table and it was such a beautiful and relaxing dinner. Highly recommend their Prix Fix menu. The strawberry buratta starter has me thinking about recreating it at home for the perfect girl dinner. And the walnut crusted rainbow trout was incredible too! Jolie, our server was nice and ensured our visit was a good one. We were a party of 5! Get there early so you can find parking and take lots of photos in the surrounding scenic area.
