The dining room is quite unpretentious and has a lovely view of the river. I enjoyed their french onion soup. I had the chicken with spinach... More

Food and service are great...However, there is like a mold problem in the dining room, and my husband has an allergy issue, so, even though it doesn't bother me at all, we can't eat there anymore. Someone told us the building had once been flooded somehow, probably when the river swelled. More

The inside of the restaurant is cozy and has a nice view of the bridge and river. We ordered several tapas to eat as appetizers -- clams with chorizo,... More
