“ Cabana On the River is a hidden gem. The view of the river is beautiful and makes for wonderful scenery while eating. Parking is plentiful and accessible. There are tons of seats as well, so even on a Friday evening we didn't have to wait for seats. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. I got the ahi poke bowl and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is diverse and well priced. I highly recommend eating here! ”
“ The food is solid, when you understand this is "bar food" to most. The outdoor setting along the Ohio River is Outstanding and is enhanced by friendly and attentive service! If you've never been there, give it a chance. You will not regret it! ”
“ Wonderful place to eat with the family or a date. Great food, large selection. Great service and you can eat outside or under a cover. We love it!! ”
“ First time here and absolutely will be back. Food was great. My wide had the fried cod. I had the Ahi Tuna. We both enjoyed our food. Frozen margaritas were tasty as well. Views were great. We signed in on the wait list. It recommends that on they're web site. So glad we did because we were seated before people who had been there but not signed up on the wait list on yelp. Server was friendly and efficient. Great vibes from every one. Even if you have to wait its just so relaxing with the views. You are still able to get drinks from the bar while you wait as well. ”
“ We were served by a bartender named Lisa. She was super engaging and made us laugh! I love to see people who actually enjoy doing their job. Unfortunately it is NOT a bar and grill like a thought the place itself is really nice. They have bands on the weekend which is free. The band usually will go from 8pm until 12am. There are things to do while you're there like cornhole and volleyball! ”
“ Service was stellar. Food was delicious! I had the blackened Mahi Mahi fish tacos. So delicious! Even when a quick passing storm moved through, staff was so nice with closing the patio and helping folks find tables out of the rain. If you're looking for an indoor seat, this isn't the place. They have a covered patio and then they have tables with umbrellas on the deck. Since it's right on the river it's the perfect place on a summer day or evening! ”
