Always have loved the Cabana until last night. Do not go here if you plan on having a birthday! When we got there we asked if we could put our cake in the fridge because it was 90 degrees and it was melting. It was a $75 dollar cake that literally melted on our table, and we had to eat it before our meal because they wouldn’t put it in the fridge, (not enough space) is what they said. Also, asked for a knife to cut it, and they told us they didn’t have one. So we had to cut it with a plastic knife which was very hard to do, until my sister knew a server there that was able to get us one thankfully, but by then it was melted everywhere. They were not accommodating at all! Then when we get ready to leave, a party behind us had a birthday and here comes two servers carrying their big sheet cake out of the fridge!!! I was livid, so I went up to the workers that told us we weren’t aloud to put our cake in the fridge and said why was their cake, which was 3x bigger then ours aloud in the fridge but ours wasn’t?? She said oh well they weren’t supposed too. Moral of the story! Treat all of your customers the same! Don’t do for one customer that you wouldn’t do for the next! Bad bad business..

My boyfriend and I recently rode our Harley to The Cabana on the River, a restaurant highly recommended by a friend, and boy, we weren’t disappointed. As we arrived, we were greeted by a jovial crowd enjoying a game of volleyball with the beautiful Ohio River as their backdrop. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for our evening. The restaurant offers outdoor seating right by the water, allowing us to soak in the stunning river views as we dined. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. For our meal, we chose the fish and chips, which were absolutely delicious. The fish was crispy and flavorful, and the chips were perfectly seasoned. We’re already excited to try even more of the menu next time we come! The journey to The Cabana was just as memorable as the destination. The scenic bypass we took was breathtakingly beautiful, with lush landscapes and serene vistas at every turn. Riding our Harley through such picturesque surroundings was a truly exhilarating experience. We ended our visit perfectly by riding off into the sunset, the open road stretching ahead of us.

My husband and I went here for dinner tonight. First time out after quarantine. We used Yelp check in, which was great but still sat for one hour in our car waiting for a table. The servers all wore masks, I felt sorry for them. Only every other table was seated to allow for proper distancing. Our server Sam, was terrific. She brought us our food quickly. We ordered the calamari appetizer. It was good but the marinara sauce needed some spicing up. I ordered the Black and blue steak salad. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin sandwich. Both of our steaks were so tender ,we could not believe the great quality! We told our server that our steaks were better than those served at many higher-end restaurants. You know that it is good when you order a steak rare and can cut it with a plastic knife. I took a picture after I had already started eating my steak salad so it is not appropriately represented but was so delicious that I dug in right away. I was a little disappointed that they were not serving dessert yet but cut them some slack since this was the first opening after many months closed. I would highly recommend any of their steak dishes to anyone.

Me, my 2 sisters and my best friend went there for a late lunch early dinner. We had gotten starbucks within the last hour and all had a little bit left so we brought it in because it only said no alcohol at the front door. Our server walked over and only let 1 out of the 4 of us order a drink when we all planned on ordering something. She then walked back and rudely told us that we needed to throw away our drinks. mind you all of us are clearly under 21 and the drinks had the starbucks logo on it so they were clearly not alcoholic. She then snatched my little sister’s drink out of her hand and cornered my older sister who said she would throw away our drinks and snatched them out of her hands. Then she got my sisters order wrong which wouldn’t have been a big deal but she doesn’t eat meat and asked for a grilled cheese with no bacon and so we asked her to re make it. She constantly stood very close to me which made me very uncomfortable. we asked for 2 boxes and when she brought them out we asked for the check. She then walked away and started to talk to other employees about us in the open making everyone stare at us. Another server walked over and asked us if it was 1 or more checks and so we said one and our original server did not walk back over and left us for the other server. we all kept to ourselves but they were staring at us the whole way out including adult males staring at my little 14 year old sister. Our original servers...

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. I used to LOVE the cabana and would go at the very least once a month. Most of this story is about a server named Morg. From the beginning she was rude. We had gotten starbucks about an hour before so we all had a little bit left in our cups. Keep in mind their sign and online policy is no outside alcohol everyone I was with was CLEARLY 18 and under and it was 4pm. She didn’t let 3/4 of us order a drink. We had planned on getting drinks but she didn’t even give us the chance to order. We were all having a good time it was mildly empty when we had arrived. She came over and in a very disrespectful tone told us to get rid of our drinks I okay I’ll throw them away. She SNATCHED them out of my hand and walked away. After that she proceeded to get my order wrong adding bacon to my grilled cheese (I dont eat meat) which if she wasn’t already so rude I would not have cared because she is human. We had gotten potato skins all 4 of us tried them. Genuinely I would have rather eaten a raw fish from the Ohio river. After eating we asked for a box for the chicken strips and the check. Post asking for the check she refused to come up to us and also was openly gossiping about us. The entire staff was then very disrespectful watching us walk to my car. Keep in mind we all used our manners because we weren’t raised in a barn and keep how we felt to ourselves. I will not be returning and will never...

Going downhill fast!!! Been going for years and something has clearly changed for the worse. Went there Saturday for dinner. I acknowledge that they were busy, however, after checking in at the hostess station, we waited for over an hour and decided to check where we were on the list. We were somehow purged from the list and then told that we were being put at the bottom of the waiting list. After talking with the extremely incompetent hostess staff we were greeted by the hostess manager who was awful. We explained the situation, she never apologized for the situation and then blamed us for not letting them know that we never received a confirmation text, even though they never told us that we should be expecting a confirmation text. I asked her if in the future we should not leave the host station until we receive a confirmation text and her response was “ check in, then wait 3 minutes and come back up if you don’t receive a confirmation text, then wait another 3 minutes and keep coming up until you receive a confirmation text. Ridiculous! So beware that evidently it’s the customers responsibility to make sure the hostess staff puts your information in correctly and their system works properly. The food was okay, but we will have second thoughts on returning any time soon. Especially...
