Really great dinner specials everyday, and fabulous craft cocktails. I had the garlic parmesan sirloin and a tasty concoction that I can't recall the name of unfortunately 😅 it was Tito's with berry puree and it was so refreshing. We sat on the patio and enjoyed amazing service.

I’m very impressive with their foods. It was delicious and wonderful favor. I felt my meal was worth because it come with two sides. I order Hickory Smoke Chip with French onion soup and stream vegetables. French onion was hit spot! It tasted wonderful and good cheese favor . I highly recommend to anybody to get this soup. Vegetable taste good but I didn’t like mushrooms. Smoke chop was tenderloin and great favor with seasonal. Aahh man it was excellent! The parking lots was pretty busy and you can park across the street. Atmosphere was great and feel western theme. All their staffs are great and friendly. They took my order quick especially on busy weekend nights. I do feel like they need to update their website because cost is different and some of foods weren’t listed.

Sweet little spot to have a few adult beverages and a good meal. GF had a steak, which was delicious, I had their killer pork tenderloin sandwich, also amazing. We sat riverside, outdoors and the service was on point, I would have to say, get you some!

I have been here twice. The first time I had the Barumundi fish, and my daughter had the stuffed shrimp. The second time I went I had the 12 ounce ribeye, which was excellent. And my daughter had the fillet tips with mushrooms. We also had their French onion cream of mushroom soup. All of the food here is excellent and well worth the money

Nice place to eat at, but make sure you ask the prices of their specials and look at their menu and you will see what I mean. The waitresses are fantastic and the woody's are their special drink. Enjoy the outdoors setting. No one under 18.

Went to visit friends and decided to try out this place. The riverside has indoor and outdoor eating along with a fire pit and a river next to it the inside has a bar on one side and family dining on the other. It wasn'tloud and you could have a normal conversation, the food was excellent and we were able to substitute items or told them about food allergies we had so they made possible for us to eat there and the waitress was kind, helpful and didn't over bother you while you were eating. I will definitely be going back there again and i would like to thank them for a great meal and dining out experience . The only thing i would change is maybe adding a family restroom for people with helping others with disabilities and the parking lot have more of a in out one way sign. 🍁 as always i tell the truth and i hope you will follow me and see other places i did a review on. If you would like me to do your business don't be afraid to message me. 🍂🍁As always happy eating be safe.

1st time eating here. Tried the smelt. It was good. Preferred the calamari more. Tenderloin was big enough for us to share. It was tender, juicy and had just the right amount of seasonings on it.

Good drinks for great prices. The Bacardi mixed drinks I ordered were $4 each. Very scenic location with a great patio right on the river.

I was initially disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I didn’t realize it was strictly 18+, which was unexpected. Once seated, things didn’t get off to a great start. A young waitress seated us at a table, only for an older waitress to come over and ask us to move because the table was “reserved.” I was unaware that this restaurant operated with reservations, and the miscommunication was frustrating. However, things turned around when Britney, our waitress with the beautiful eyelashes, stepped in. She was kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful, making the rest of our visit much more enjoyable. Her positive energy and professionalism truly saved the experience for us. Britney deserves a raise for the excellent service she provided!

Loved the atmosphere here! Must be 18 to enter. Food was delicious. Ordered the cheese burger medium, but it was well done. Didn’t mind because it still tasted good. Fries were spot on. Wife had the tenderloin. Huge! Very meaty and tasty. They had live entertainment outside and the view was awesome.

The atmosphere in this place is absolutely amazing! The view of the waterfront from the back side is absolutely breathtaking, and I would highly recommend this to any tourists passing through, looking to take in some of Monticello, Indiana's local natural beauty, and friendly locals, in a beautiful & quiet setting.

Very expensive for what we got. Perch was tough, no lemon, or tartar....cool not hot or juicy. Bourbon glazed shrimp, with rice, sauce was good, 5 shrimp overcooked, tough, rice hard and cool. Very disappointed for $30 shrimp dish and $25 fish. We had always loved it in the pass. Hadn't been here in a couple years. Drinks and atmosphere great....but won't be back for food.

We were kicked out from our table on the patio while waiting on our desert in favor of a large party that came in. We had bought appetizers, dinner, and just had ordered desert. The food was good. It’s too bad the management spoiled the experience.
