About
Occupying a prime location on the Southbank Riverwalk, this gorgeous restaurant and microbrewery has dramatic waterfront and skyline views. For an even better vantage point, sit outside on the enormous covered deck. The quality of the cuisine very nearly lives up to the vista, especially the coconut shrimp with a sweet mandarin-orange sauce. For a main course, try the pork chops grilled with a raspberry chipotle glaze. While you could easily drop a bundle in the main dining room, you can also devise an inexpensive, simpler meal (burgers, beer cheese soup, and such) in the Brew Haus, a large sports bar that opens onto the deck and the riverbank. Bands play here on weekend evenings. Sunday brunch brings incredible buffets with decadent desserts.
