I visited here on a very nice Saturday and had an amazing lunch. It was a little warm outside at this time (around 11:30-12:00), but the fans on the balcony where I sat were lovely at keeping me cool and they blew just strong enough to keep the bugs off, too.
The food was fantastic, and honestly pretty fairly priced for the quality! Of course, expect it to cost a little more than your typical restaurant, however, as they are a bit higher scale AND right on the river, which offers an amazing view, by the way.
The food was fantastic, I had the Tuscan Farro salad, the smoked gouda and white truffle raddiatore pasta, and a delightful coctail called the Saintly Dog. I was having a lot of trouble picking what I wanted to eat and spent a lot of time just looking over the menu while I ate my appetizer (farro salad is delicious, by the way, very bright, but NO GREENS, so be careful if you're expecting a lettuce bowl). My server Sebastian was very attentive, but not pushy, and an absolute delight to talk to, offering me really great suggestions. He also explained WHY he suggested them and not just "Well I like this item". He mentioned that the citrus in the cocktail would be a great option for cutting through the heavy richness of the pasta, which turned out to be a perfect pairing as I didn't want wine. He was confident in his suggestions, but humble enough to explain that his pallete isn't as refined, so it really felt like it was up to me and there wasn't any pressure.
I think I would come back for the service and view alone, but the food was absolutely delicious and well balanced. The pasta is something I'll think about for years.
