Try and make reservations. We showed up at 745pm, and although there appeared to be open tables available, we were left waiting. A couple of minutes later, two couples showed up with reservations for 8pm and were seated before us.

Ample parking in a dirt lot right outside of the restaurant. Cute little spot, comes up fast after you cross the bridge.

Very interesting history around the name of the restaurant as well as the old shirt factory still standing on the bank of the river.

Inside is cozy and decorated nicely. Lively atmosphere with everyone enjoying their meals and servers shuffling back and forth to the kitchen. It appeared that they may have been short staffed on the night of our visit, as our 'waitress' apologized before taking our order as she was the hostess and was still learning the ropes of interacting with the tables. To be honest, we didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and she was very helpful. Well, aside from the order of steamers that weren't able to be delivered as she told us after-the-fact that they had run out earlier in the evening. No worries, as the food that came was both delicious and plentiful.

But before we get to the food, the bread was very tasty as were the 'toppings'. The butter was infused with cinnamon/apple and was very creamy. There was also a side of fresh crushed garlic and olive oil. Both paired nicely with the fresh bread.

I went for the prime rib, which came with a tangy au jus. The sides were satisfactory, but I was very impressed with the meat. My wife got a pasta dish that was so large she was unable to finish. I had a few bites and it was delicious.
