    My boyfriend and I decided to stop by for some brunch for our anniversary weekend and it was great. It was not too busy we were able to get a table by the window. Parking around is a little difficult to find on weekends, we decided to park by the parking structure and just walk from there and enjoy old town. After getting there we seated immediately and had drinks right away. I got myself a mimosa because of course it is brunch. For my food choice I ordered the black bean Benedict and it was great!
    Great vegetarian options for brunch!!!
    I would definitely stop by again if I travel out to Sacramento

    I started bad and ended horrible.
    We had reservations at 8:30 pm and got there and nobody was up front so we waited 10 minutes for someone to seat us.
    We ordered our food right after seating and our food got at the table at 9:30 pm.
    Our server had no decency of coming and saying sorry the food is taking so long .
    We finally got some of the food but my mother had to wait 10 more minutes for her food.
    How rude to start eating and she was still waiting for her food.
    We didn't even get bread until my husband asked a different server for bread.
    And this last part is the worse part, I ordered the kids pasta and half of the pasta was already gone when i saw something crawling and it was a freaking ant, I quickly called a server and i put it on his hand and he had no idea what to say. He took the ant to the kitchen and came out saying it was not from the kitchen.
    My 5 years old was already freak out and grossed out so definitely didn't finish eating.
    We still got charged for something she couldn't eat and I would not let her eat.
    We come here at least once a month because our girls love the idea of eating on a boat but this was the last time. I can't believe someone would think is okay to have ants crawling on a costumer food.

    The food and drinks were Wow!!!
    I am surprised some reviews are negative because we had an amazing time here and each dish was delicious. We were around 8 people and we all order different dishes and we were all happy with our food, not ok but happy!

    I had 2 Moscow mules and its the best one i had so far! I will for sure come back!
    Thank you

    This is worth stopping in! We came with a party of 6 and sat downstairs. Alessandra was our server and she was beyond amazing. I'm a stickler for good service because I've worked in the industry before and I truly haven't had someone like Alessandra wait on me in a very long time, if ever! She was knowledgeable, personable, witty, and very warm. And she really needs to be in a leadership role somewhere because she's awesome!

    The restaurant itself is actually on the Delta King and is really rustic and quaint! I love the feeling of being inside the boat and on the water, this place has a TON of character.

    The reason I gave 4/5 stars was because of the food. The appetizers were pricy for the teeny portions you get. We ordered the lamb sliders and roasted artichoke. The lamb sliders were so flavorful but the herb was soooooo overpowering, I think it might have been sage or rosemary, but it was too strong for me to even eat and I wasn't the only one who wasn't a huge fan. I think they'd be really good with a little less of the herb. Also, my boyfriend and I both ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich and were a little disappointed. The chicken itself isn't breaded in spices, they call it spicy because they add banana peppers and pickles onto the sandwich. In other words, it really wasn't spicy at all.

    Kudos to the bartender though because the mai tai, margaritas, and mud slide we ordered were all very, very good!

    All in all, we'll be back without a doubt!
