    Lots of bees outside, so we had to move several times. Then finally ended up inside.

    Service was great! However, I ordered the halibut and it was so overcooked and dry that I couldn’t even eat it.

    What a fabulous spot! Visiting from Virginia Beach and came with a local friend who is disabled but expressed that he has always wanted to visit the Eagle Creek area. Rick's seemed the perfect solution to allow him to enjoy the spectacular view without getting physical. The food was delicious and the service attentive and friendly. Crab stuffed mushrooms, Baked goat cheese and the Wedge salad to share with a glass of pinot grigio...just right. Delightful!
