    My wife and I have been going to "View" for 25 years+... back when it was called "The View"! Through the years, service levels and quality of food varied from Hmmmmm, to OK, to very good... the location being the draw... what a gorgeous spot, either looking out from the windowed bar to sitting outside on their protected, or open deck.... even inside, you have an elegant, "by the water" feel. Their game is very much up these days however.... be it a new Chef, new management strategy or training for the team, the menu and food preparation is creative and well thought out and the staff, friendly, available and attentive. View lately has become our "Go To" as they can be a quick "Happy Hour" stop in, or a romantic, waterside table for two. We thought Wednesday night Bingo might be corny, but what a hoot! Great folks having some good fun. I recently brought an old business friend and spent 3 hours on the outside deck catching up and very well taken care of by the team. We are looking forward to the summer months as we can bring our old boat "up the river" to a well maintained dock and have a fun summer dinner, afterwards, anchoring out in the river for an overnighter. All the elements are checked. Thanks to the team at the View for bringing their venue to top form, and working hard to make it the "Go To" that it now is. Bravo!

    We love the atmosphere of the smaller dining rooms at the Snapper. The views of the river and marina beyond the lawn make it very soothing. The food is always top notch.
