Quick and attentive service, very easy going atmosphere that's relaxing. Food was delicious. Definitely a good summer spot if you're in town!
All about the view, it is about the view of the Ohio River. The service staff is friendly and short staffed. Be patient. The food was tasty, served up quickly and the fish and chips came with three large filets. The soup of the day was a mildly spicey creamy chicken soup. Ice cold beers. They are closing soon for the winter, glad to have found this spot floaring on the barge and enjoying the view and good food with family.
We come to Madison 5-6 times a year and this is always our favorite stop. The food is always fantastic. The bartenders work wonders at the bar. The owner stops to talk to you. When they have live music it's always a treat to watch them sway with waves as they play.
The place was nearly empty on a mostly rainy Monday. We had a very sweet server who made great recommendations. Their southwest egg rolls were unique and delicious. I had the cod basket and it was very good. My husband had a classic breaded pork tenderloin sandwich and said it was also very good. We were hesitant about this place because of the average rating but decided to try it out because it was one of the only places open in the sleepy town of Madison. Glad we stopped in, eating here on the river was a treat.
We love eating at this restaurant on a beautiful sunny day. The view is spectacular, the kids can feed the fish, the food is excellent, and staff is friendly. Walking there could be a challenge for some as the walkway is fairly steep, but it's worth it. Restrooms are clean (if you have a baby though, there's no place to change a diaper). We recommend this place anytime you're passing through Madison.
Under new ownership and totally updated, I was pleasantly surprised. Typical bar food menu and decent prices. The drink prices are very good. Outside seating and live music it will be a great place hang out during nice weather. Since it is a floating restaurant it is subject to the river flooding and debris. Attached to a dock so you can boat in to the restaurant. They operate on cash only right now and warn you at the top of the stairs. They also have an atm onsite. I had the fried fish and shrimp combo basket. Shrimp were butterflied and coated in a standard batter. Fish were described as loins, but they were more like a thick filet. Standard wine offering and bourbon/whiskey selection starts with beam and jack, ends at makers mark. Our crew will be back.
