They serve lunch and dinner too but I am a fan of their breakfasts (my fav is the California omelet!). This is a cool -- locals only know it--- kind of place. The restaurant is on a floating barge on the river, with an airline gang plank from the embankment forging the entrance. Additional floating outdoor bar; and boat access during the summer. Voted best Bloody Mary's in town!
