    Service was poor. We had a kid with us and we had to ask for a kids menu, then we had to ask for crayons. The waitress wasn’t sure if there was a kids menu and then she wasn’t sure if they had crayons. Had a mocktail for $10 and definitely was not worth it, no real flavor. Beef enchiladas were not bad. We were a party of 5 and they sat us on a table for 4 and stuck on an extra chair. No plans of ever going back.

    Dinner around 6 or 6:30pm is perfect. It will not be too busy. You will have a great time with outdoor dining

    Let’s start with they told me they didn’t have a reservation for Rachel Roberts (when clearly Open Table knows i did.) It took several minutes for anyone to acknowledge us when we first walked in. The staff was running around like they busy but the place was not that busy (lots of empty tables, especially for Friday night.) House margaritas took a very long time to arrive and we ordered chips and salsa ($8) that came out with the entrees - expected more for that price. We did enjoy the grilled shrimp tacos, but that’s about all. We left to grab a margarita at a “drinks to go” down the way and it was MUCH better! Our server was very kind and working hard, but overall we had a sub-par experience. Personally, I would pass on this restaurant in the future.

    We dined on New Year's Eve. We were seated right away but it took 45 minutes for someone to bring us water and menus. All the other tables around us were being served. Our server was very apologetic and attentive for the rest of the evening. The food was good and portions were filling.

    At River’s Edge it is. I was solo and the restaurant was not crowded at 7:30 on a Tuesday night, so it was fun watching the people walking by and those across the river waiting for the boat ride. I went specifically for the Cuban sandwich and was not disappointed. All the right ingredients and finely toasted bread.  I cannot recommend the side salad because the greens were very strange, bitter, with tough stems, though the cucumber and tomato were fresh and tasty. A well-made Paloma to wash it down.  A shout out to Erin whose service and conversation made the experience more enjoyable. I’ll be back…when the heat reading is much cooler than 98!

    Excellent in every way. Highly recommend. They are surrounded with other TexMex restaurants and we trusted yelp’s reviews.
