Super unique and cute dinning experience! Eating over the river is so peaceful and serene I wanted to take a nap so bad. The food was tasty and the bartender who served me was really nice.
First time here, and just wanted to say that our waiter Michael was great to us. Very attentive and very friendly. Thank you!
What type of date vibe are you looking for - sit by the freeway and get hit up for cigarettes or sip mimosas on the water? This is the latter. Old Sac's got it all and this place is the place you go when you want to show your guests that Sac isn't scary. Okay, okay, seagulls can be a little scary, but they don't seem to like nicoise salads much. Yelp is asking how the service was, but honestly I don't remember any of the servers. No disrespect to them, but I think that's a good thing - we went for the views, food, and conversation with each other.
The food was fabulous. My rare steak was full of amazing flavor, and my wife's salad was equally delightful. Our server, Sladjana, was attentive and always wore a smile. The ambiance was peaceful and quiet, even though the Delta King's website said they were fully booked and wouldn't allow reservations. When I called, however, they informed me that it was quite empty, and we could sit anywhere we liked. We're so glad we checked! Our visit was fantastic, and we will definitely return.
Pre dinnner snack with drinks. We had just checked in so this seemed like a good place to enjoy the scenery around the boat. Service was a tad slow, but the drinks were free due to our stay. Crab cakes were good, could have been a bit more crispy but they were tasty
Very nice place to grab a meal. Table and napkin linens with a great wait staff. Food was tasty, but also a little more expensive. With it in my opinion as it is on a historic ship, on the River. #spicemeister approved.
I've been here about 3 times for breakfast and lunch with large groups. The service is always great and accommodating! The food I would say is pretty darn good as well! It's not food that you would make a trek across town for, but great if you're in the area and you get a great view! The prices are a little bit higher here but not overly pricey, I got a breakfast burrito that came with eggs, cheese, potatoes, and sausage. Also came with sour cream, guacamole, and pico for $15. Not bad! I enjoyed it. When I was here for lunch I got the fish and chips, I remember the French fries being super good! Worth a stop if you're in old town!
Came for a drink at the bar and our bartender AB was awesome! Super friendly, great service and one of the best margs I've ever had! Awesome view of the river and wonderful place overall.
One of my FAVORITE bars ever. Aaron is my absolute favorite bar tender ever! I've been a regular since 2019 and he's definitely a special person. The food is always great! Glad they have the crab cakes back! They are the best I've ever had. They also have this unique Cabernet Sauvignon that is one of the best! Definitely get a glass of it. Whether at the bar, at a table, or on the deck you can't go wrong.
