There's usually always a wait (30 mins average) but they have 2 bar areas for you to order drinks and appetizers as you wait, along with seating and tables up for grabs. The entire atmosphere is outdoors with seating "inside" (covered) or "outside" on the deck. Smoking is permitted by the outdoor bar and waiting areas, which is not near the actual dining area. The lively atmosphere and location is great . Good place for families, date night, or groups. Handicap accessible, some table areas are close together but can easily be moved. Food is always good and is in the "medium" price range. There is a live band on some nights which makes for an even better experience on the river. Dining area/bars/restrooms are always very clean and well kept. This is definitely a place to try and enjoy.
Don't expect super fast service-this place is on "island time", and that's a good thing. The food is good to very good. Nice drink and beer selection. Nothing fancy, just a laid-back taste of the tropics. Relax and enjoy the views.
Great open restaurant on the river with views of the Kentucky hills. Decent beer selection and huge food proportions. It gets really crowded during the dinner rush, but plenty of seats for hanging out while you wait. Service is slow due to the crowds but this place is more about hanging out on the river, so if you are patient and not starving you can't really ask for a better setting to hang out with friends and family.
Overall I'm going to eat here again at some point, I just wish the food would improve slightly
On occasion takes time to get sat at a table when there is clearly tables available (not in reserved areas). Service can be slow as the ratio of servers to tables is low at least during busy hours. Food is mediocre and at times inconsistent. If you sit under the shelter expect to feel cramped especially when it's busy. It feels like they try to pack too many tables into the space. At least that's my opinion.
Love this place! Just as the name says, it's right on the river with a great view. You can sit at tables under roof (which is all open so you can feel the breeze) or you can sit outside under umbrellas. I was surprised of how big the bar area was with lots of selections. The staff was very friendly and right on our order. One of us ordered a burger (it was huge) and I ordered the salmon with rice, pineapple salsa and a roll. It was very good and cooked perfect! The other two ordered 2 different kinds of fish meals and they said it was good as well. We will be going back soon. Also, this is a great place to bring the family.
What really stands out about this place is the location. Sits right on the river for great view. Absolutely great atmosphere especially if you can sit on the lower area closest to the river. Summer evenings are great here.
