We live close by and have been here several times. Both the food and the location are good! We recently met friends here for an anniversary celebration on a Sunday afternoon. Several folks had the pizza and were pleased. I enjoyed the hummus plate as a light meal. They offer local beers on tap and have a large variety of creative drinks. We enjoyed the live music as well. This is a great place to relax and enjoy a beautiful view of the Susquehanna River and have some really good food. It’s usually a good idea to make reservations on the weekends.
LOVE this restaurant! Went for our fourth time last night with family from Australia. This was by far our favored place to take them of all the places in the region. Everything was a highlight including the ribeye, paella, scallops, lamb meatballs, spring rolls and ceviche. You can taste the love in all the local ingredients. The drink menu is varied and so tasty. I particularly dig the peach mule but you cant go wrong with anything. I like the two different menus for the inside and the outdoor pizza patio. Pizzas are well done and the toppings are wonderful. With its location right on the river, you can go outside on the expansive lawn which goes in a spot right down to the river. It’s nice to have a run around area for the kids and some cornhole boards out. It is incredibly peaceful and good for date nights or family outings. They run different cigar nights paired with different regional cuisines and run specials if the chefs/owners make an interesting find. I remember when they caught a shark and ran Shark Week specials. I’ve come to appreciate and respect all the thought they put in when designing this experience. Would eat there every meal if we could! Our highest recommendation and endorsement!!
Love the food and atmosphere, always great food and friendly service.
Our server Jody was amazing tonight! Our first time there and both of our dishes were immaculate! Pork spring rolls for an appetizer were the best choice, and all the food was perfect! Chicken Chesapeake for my wife and Chicken Romano for me, awesome! I would for sure recommend anyone to come here. Great view overlooking the river and amazing service! Will be back again!
My husband and I recently got married March 16th. I researched a lot, like more than normal venues because of how indecisive I am. This was our last venue to look at and if it did not work out we were going to postpone the wedding..crazy, right? Well the moment I met Molly I had a good feeling she knew what she was doing and was very informational. She showed us the grounds (beautiful views btw) and showed us upstairs where our ceremony and reception would take place....WOW was all I could say. I got those butterflies like you get when you try on "thee dress". We left the venue and I told my husband "that's the one". Molly was outstanding and took the whole day by the horns. Our wedding day was so beautiful and she was wonderful. The staff did sooo much for our wedding and make every detail noticeable and our guests loved it! We were told it was the most beautiful venue they've ever been too. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a gorgeous view of the river (without spending an arm and a leg), amazing food, cost friendly and just an overall great day. I wish I could redo this day everyday :) Thanks Molly & John Wright for making our day so beautiful.
Sunday brunch always brightens the day and is a great way to give a “restart” before your next work week. Whether enjoying with a date, family member or friend, or stopping by for a much needed great feast of great food for yourself, as I did today, always glad I have stopped in to experience the mouth-watering food and I never get tired of meeting and conversing with the great staff JWR has on their team. Thanks again for a great experience.
I visited on a Saturday and was able to sit in a perfect table with a view of the river~ (I love that even as a singleton I was automatically seated in such an ideal spot!) The server was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable about the food. The cod sandwich and coleslaw were excellent! The roll the cod was on was just perfect~ And the coleslaw was fresh and tasty. The iced tea was excellent too! I wish I’d had room for a dessert – the display looked amazing…I want to go back just for the dessert next time:-) There were lots of family groups meeting up and the atmosphere was just so happy… If you are in this area and want to enjoy the scenery and wonderful food, this is it!
Myself and 18 motorcyclist were in town on one of our rides and we stop to eat here. What a wonderful place with great food and drinks beautiful scenery and wonderful service. Thank You for making our day.
We chose John Wright as our venue for our October 2017 wedding and we could not have made a better choice!! Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff is so accommodating and truly cared about our vision and helping to create our dream wedding! From the day we booked JWR — Molly was attentive, accessible and incredibly fun and easy to work with! She had our best interest at heart from the beginning from requests, to questions, to advice! Jim & his team totally exceeded our expectations! The food was outstanding, the wait staff was professional and attentive and the bartenders were amazing as always! I would highly recommend John Wright as a wedding venue not only for the beautiful river view but for the amazing and thoughtful people behind the scenes!
